Egypt Refuses To Accept

British Protest Note

London, July 27.

The Egyptian government today refused to accept a British protest note against nationalisation of the Sucz Canal Company, Cairo Radio reported tonight.

The radio said the decision not to receive the note was announced by Ali Sabri, Director of the political office of the President.

It also quoted the director as stating: "The nationaliso- tion of the Suez Canal Company is an act coming within the prerogatives of Egypt's sovereignty because it is an Emption limited company subjected to Egyptian laws.”

Ali Sabri added it was obvious that the step taken by the Egyptian government "in na way affects, and is in no way intended to affect, the transit of shipping Through

the Suez Canal."--Router.
