POLITICAL SUICIDE?
NAHAS PASHAS FATE
EGYPT AND EMPIRE Reed. noon. LONDON. Sunday. The special correspondent of the “Daily Express” at Cairo says: “Political observers give the opinion that Nahas Pasha’s Note to Britain means political suicide. He must either follow up the Note with action, and pass the legislation which Britain recently vetoed, or climb down and be discredited by his followers. Nahas Pasha, in an interview, insisted that the Note spoke for the whole of the Egyptian people. Egypt’s position, first and foremost, is that she is, and never has been, part of the British Empire. She wishes most friendly relations with Britain on a basis of equality. “British interests are in no wise incompatible with Egyptian independence. The Egyptian Army is strong enough to defend the Suez Canal, with Britain ready to give support when the necessity arises. “Britain, in view of her naval strength, has nothing to fear about the canal. Egypt is her true friend and ally.”—A. and N.Z.
