In Cairo Manhandled
"UGLY AFFAIR"
Cairo, Dec. 14.
Two Egyptian employees of the British Em- bassy Press Department in Cairo were man- handled by an Egyptian crowd today, dragged to a police station and charged with having incited workers to return to the Suez Canal Zone. The two were held by the police.
A British Embassy spokesman said that the two employees were seen "handcuffed together like common criminals."
He described the affair as "ugly" and de- clared, "It seemed to be staged."
A British officer and a Signalman were slightly wounded by Sten gunfire when a British Army staff car was ambushed in daylight near Ismailia today.

A Stimulating Visitor
TONGKONG feels grateful for Mr Oliver Lyttelton's visit and vast- ly stimulated by his energetic interest in our affairs. The Colony says fare- well to him with the firm conviction the that there is at the head of Colonial Office a Minister who not only appreciates our problems, our needs and our ambitions, but one who will purposefully add

Mr Products Exhibition,
Lyttelton ranged far and wide over our domestic problems, giving cach an appropriate evaluation. None can fail to be im- pressed by his vigorous confidence in the Colony's future, and if we take a bow for his tributes to the manner in which Hongkong has rehabilitated itself and made substantial progress beyond its pre-war state, we do so with pro- per modesty. If the Secretary of State felt himself somewhat plagued with questions during his three-days' stay, the community has good reason to feel satisfied with the way in which he re- ceived and answered them. He left no doubts on two points: (a) that the British Government considera
Hong- kong an essential part of the Common- wealth, and (b), that the Colony is in- cluded in the Imperial Government's policy vis-a-vis Southeast Asia and that there is not the slightest inten- tion of abandoning Hongkong to its fate should an international emergency arise. These are two vitally important sssurances, giving the lle direct to those faint-hearts and defeatists who

Majesty's Government. He has pre-
mised fullest consideration to constitu- tional reform; all possib'e help to maintain a sufficiency of raw materials required by local manufacturing indus- tries; all help "in terms of financial and technical assistance which it is pos- sible for us, with our own very grave housing problem at home, to provide." so that Hongkong can make substan- tial progress towards properly housing the community; every consideration to the question of aiding the Colony's agricultural and fisheries industries: careful attention to the possibility of expanding Japanese trade threatening the Colony's industries and commercial enterprises. Hongkong appreciates that neither Mr Lyttelton nor his Cabinet colleagues can implement these promises overnight; in fact several of our domestic problems must be resolved through our own efforts.
