PUBLIC TO BE GIVEN FACTS

London, Feb. 27.

The Egyptian Premier, Aly Maher Pasha, said tonight that his Government aimed in the coming negotiations with Britain to get agreement on the evacuation of British troops from the Canal Zone and the unity of Egypt and the Sudan under the Egyptian crown.

The Prime Minister made the statement in a broadcast over all Egyptian radio wavelengths, and picked up in London.

He said that his Government's policy was to give the Egyptian people the full facts. He said its first important aim was the resumption of talks with Britain. In that task the Government needed the sup. port of public opinion.
