He declares that the adoption of the Egyptian Nationalists' suggestion for the creation of Parliamentary institutions with control of- finances would revive the worst abuses aud lead to bankruptcy. Ho confidently anticipates the ultimate establishment of a useful international Legislative Council representing all inhabitants irrespective of race or religion. Lord Cromer quotes his letter to the British Chamber of Commerce in Egypt as officially dispelling any doubt amongst tho public of Eygpt regarding the continuity of policy in Egypt and at tho permanence of occupation.
