gained from the British connection there was no doubt, But material benefits were not all.

They must also derive moral benefits. In order to estimate the moral benefits conferred by Great Britain ou other countries he suggested a comparis son with the Indian States and the proofs they had given during the present crisis. A wave of enthusiastic loyalty had swept over every Indian State. That was due to the liberal policy of non-interference pursued by the British Government in reference to the internal affairs of those States. A similar beneficial policy ough: to be extended to Egypt, and if that were done he had no doubt that it will produce good results. The Wasf and other chari table and religious institutions should be made over to the Egyptian Government Egyptians already appreciated: the efforts of the British to prepare the Egyptians for self-Government and for a voice in the Government of their own affairs, and he believed that progress towards self- Government would be accelerated under the new Sultan with the British protec torate. Tho British Government had always regarded themselves as trustees for the inhabitants of Egypt and the pass achievements of Great Britain upon the Nile were a sufficient guarantee for its Fatare prosperity and development on sound lines, IA

His Highness the Aga Khan testified to the admirable demeanour of the priest hood and the composure of the populace and said that the brightest features in the situation were the elevation of Prince Hussein and the steadfast adherence given by the ministry to the British cause He then added-" one cannot shut one's eyes to the growth of Egyptian national fecling, but none can deny that in the present crisis the Egyptians have shown good sense and good feeling towards the British Government, and therefore it is essential that a more liberal policy should in time be adopted towards them." His Highness epoke very enthusiastically the new Sultan who, he said, was not only interested in the education of boys and girls in Egypt, but was deeply con- cerned with the Aligarh nuevement, He had taken the keenest interest in raising a model university in Egypt. The elevation of Prince Hussein as Sultan, he said, has been hailed with satisfac- tion in Egypt. He is very popular among the Egyptians. He is not only a prudent and experienced man of great ability, but he enjoys the affectionate esteem of the Egyptian people as a Prince of the Khedival family of Mehmet Ali. He is most worthy to occupy the Khedival position with the title and style of Sultan of Egypt. A new era for individual fiber- ty and moral and material progress seems to be dawning upon Egypt, for the new Bultan understands the country's peculiar position. He is generous to a fault. He is a fer abler, man than h's unclo and I have no doubt that he will all his exalted position with greater dignity and with more bencfit to his subjecta"
