OUR MEN IN EGYPT
Sir-I have •noticed -a-great many loiters "in Tuk DqjiiNio.N lately inquiring when our men in Kgypt are to be n>htrned liomn. 1 see that Mr James Allen ears I hey jiro to bo returned in June and July; but Mint is not; definite on account oT the shipping, ami also of Tin.-sibli! troubles in Ngypt- h,r ; . '• think' it is finite time 'hat something definite was dour- iii tins mat lor. .1 am constantly wak'liimt tin* shippmß column for the' names of vessels from overseas, and I think if any of our men were to bn homo'in .lime tlm nanifi of thfi vessel they are coming by would bo in that column by this time. 1 know the men in 1-g.vpt have bcnii told time after lime that they were to be returned at certain dates, but the. promises •. were evidently nko pie-crus , made only to be broken. T write feelingly on this subject, as I have a son in ]>y'pt, and -I know from his letters how aii»ry ■ and disappointed tho men feel about it. ls.it not. time Unit the 2*«\ir Zealand Government bestirred themselves, or is it n matter of no moment that our men are kept another .summer in such an unhealthy climate? _Or do they think.the, attention of the Ivow /wilaml people will be so taken up by the mimbers'of our iivm arriving from Europe, thut they will (like the (.lovernmeiit apparently does) forget all about our men in Ksiviit: —1 am, etc..
