It is asserted in political circles here that the King only consented to sign the decree after having had the assurance that Nessim Pasha would retain office. It is considered certain that the Pre- mier had taken this course after having received the assurance from the British authorities that the readoption of the 1973 con- sultution would be tolerated.
This sequel to the complicated developments in Egypt took every- body by surprise and was indicated by the fact that it was contrary to all the press predictions. Even the English newspapers and "Egyptian Gazette" devoted a leading article on Thursday, which reviewed the career and praised the work of Nessim Pasha, also predicting. that bis Government would now be suc- ceeded by "the concentration of the Cabinet".- Transocean' Kuo Min
