Britain and Egypt
FRIENDSHIP RESTORED VISIT OF KING FUAD By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright Reed. 9.55 a.m. LONDON, Sunday. The diplomatic correspondent of the “Observer” states that the fact that King Ahmed Fuad has arranged to arrive in London on July 7 is regarded as evidence of the friendliness restored between Britain and Egypt. It is an open secret that Fuad’s presence will be the occasion for soundings in the direction of an important change in Anglo-Egyptian relations, whereby a formal alliance will be concluded, and independence restored to Egypt. The fact that Sarwat Pasha, Prime Minister, ha.s convinced the Waifd party that the best policy is to be friendly with Britain Is regarded as likely to lead to a satisfactory settlement. The Egyptian Government will have to commit itself to the perpetual freedom of Suez, arrange the security of foreign lives, and agree to a sort of joint Monroe Doctrine, whereby no third power will be allowed to interfere in Egypt.—A. and N.Z.
