OFFER TO EGYPT. A BIG CONCESSION COMING. (Received This Day at 8 a.m.) LONDON January 28. The “Observer” states the Government is prepared to grant Egypt full independence ini principle. An ‘official announcement will be made on Monday defining the exact length to which the Government is prepared to go. The'matter will be thrashed o 1 when Parliament meets in February Egypt Nationalists demands* have extended since the Irish settlement. They want more than the degree of independence outlined in Lord Milner’s report. The British Government recognises that no Egypt Government can take office unless its programme is based on complete independence. It is neither the practice nor the inclination of the British people to meet such demands with grape shot. Egyptians will gasp with pleasure when they read Monday’s announcement, but the principle that Britain must (be the paramount foreign power dealing with Egypt will be made explicit. Also that British communications to India, the Far East and Australia, must be safeguarded.
