POLICE PREVENT MEETING IN EGYPT
Received Friday, 11.20 a.m. LONDON, Dec. 5. More than 3000 police and troops patrolled the streets of Tanta and cordoned off the homes- of Wafd supporters to prevent Nahas Pasha holding a meeting, at which it was intended to inaugurate a campaign against the revised Anglo-Egyptian Treaty, says Reuter's Cairo correspondent. The police forbade groups of persons to assemble in the streets, closed all shops and arrested 250 "as a precautionary measure." They also raided the branch headquarters of the Moslem Brotherhood.
