Received Tuesday, 12.10 p.m. LONDO'N, June 3. Th,e Egyp.tian Senate, after a two and a-half hour secret session, adjoiu-ned tke debate on the AngloEgyptian Treaty n'egotiations until to-morrow. The Thnes' C.airo correspondent says that while the Egyptians are ready and willhig tg stand shoulder to shoulder with Britain as an activ.e ahy in war-tiin.e, they are most sensitive to the implied mistrust in the British insistence that arrangements of the type usually found in separate military conventions should be attached to tne Treaty proper. That savours too much of the 1936 Treaty. Egyptian feeling on this point is deep apd I strong. I The Wafdists, meantime, are takjing advantage of the situation to proclaim that British insincerity is manifest, and if Egypt makes the Treaty slie will be tricked. Nahas I Pasha demands that the Anglo- ■ Egyptian Alliance should be broken, ! and that Britain should evacuate j Egypt and the Sudan sim.ultan.e1 ously.
