LORD LLOYD
CONDEMNS EGYPTIAN AUTONOMY. [United Press Association —By Electric ' Telegraph.—Copyright.] LONDON, December 6. Lord Lloyd at the Empire Union luncheon, said that he was sent to to guard certain vital interests and to maintain the 1922 Declaration in its entirety, with the result that disturbance and turbulanee had been replaced by peace and growing friendliness. The reserved points had been maintained without a shot being fired. He protested against what he termed the cynicism and levity with which the present Government proposed to abandon a vital strategic position and sacrifice Britain’s position in great markets which had been built up by Britishers’ courage and enterprise; and to aban- ■ don helpless masses who always, looked to Britain for protection and emancipation .
“ The same Government, which carelessly throws awav real and existing markets in the East,” he said, “is willing to sell our country’s soul in order to buy purely problematical Soviet trade in the West.”
