MEN AND THINGS ABROAD

HANCES of the Anglo- Egyptian "conversations" ending successfully be- fore it gets too hot in Cairo for serious negotiation are very small.

Chances of their ending BUCCESS- fully at all unless they are taken in hand by Mr. Eden er some other responsible Minister are small, anyhow,

The method of confronting the Egyptian political lenders with high-powered British naval, mill- tary and air experts who ruplaf to them just why if necessary, for technical region, to therense instead of dervetdng the Beitinh

THE Egyptians, without competent technica; ati- visers o. cheir own, cannot properly. Judge the strength or weakness of the arguments,

They just reel that "there is a catch in it somewhere "when they are told that it 15. absolutely essen- tial, for example, to keep British garrisons in Calro and Alexandria, and to keep a British Air Force at Hollopolis (which is practically Cairo).

It seems to them like a mero

· dodge to go back on the offers of the 1930 and previous negotiations and to perpetuate the occupation of a country whose independence has been for Afteen years acknow- ledged in theory.

The real blunder, or crime, dr whatever you like to call it, is that, quite deliberately, Egypt has been

by

W. N. Ewer

made incapable of providing for its own defence.

There is no reason at all why, by now, with British technical assistance, there should not be a perfectly adequate Egyptian de- fence force,

Just Nonsense

Tis just nonsense to pretend that the Gippy Is not a cotdier," A century ago under Ibrahim he showed biurif good enough soldier to fight and beat the Turk. At Nez'b in 1839, watched by youn: Prussian Damned Von Moltke Ibrahha's Egyptian smashed a Turkish army, took all its guns and 10,000 prisoners,

And nobody has yet accused the Turks of not beng soldiers.

They fought well. 100, in the frontier warlare against the Sudanese In between the fall of Khartoum and Kitchener's eam- paign; at Afaßl, for example, with=" out any "stiffening" of British- troops.

40 Years Ago..

HI, but that was under Autish leadership. Ad- mittedly, but they have never, in latter years, had a chance of fight- ing under Egyptian leadership. Egypilan omicers have never been allowed to hold responsible com-

mand.

.Milner protested, forty years ago.

Let Egypt March

on her Own Feet

"It is nonsonso to pratand that the 'Cippy' is not a soldier,"

against this short-sighted policy. But the policy, went on: quite de- liberately, in order to justify the continuance of the occupation and of keeping the Egyptian army under British control.

We have prevented the creation of an Egyptian staff-or even of regimental commanders → con- petent to organise and lead the Enyptian army: 80 thoroughly that to-day Egyptian Ministers have no Egyptian military experts fit to discuss military matters with the British experts.

Kansas President

THE Massachusetts "pel- martes" have net ali propheta prophesying that Gov- emnor Landon of Kunsug will bo chosen as Republican candidate to fight Roosevelt In the autumn.

I am not so sure. Of all those in the running Landon is most likely to get the Eastern vote. Knox might ve rivalled him, but Knox's star is wating at the

The nearest parallel to Dafoe in this country was C. P. Scott, of the "Manchester Guardian." Like Scott, Dafoc is a stalwart Liberal of the old school. Like Scott, he is an editor of dominant personality. Like Bcott, he has stood for the highest standards of journalistic honour and journalistic technique,

Buddenly his glance fell on the papers she was carrying--" Le Populaire" and "1'Humanité."

He snorted, settled back in his corner and said not another word. At Paris she got her own bag down.
