SUEZ CANAL PROTECTION
DOMINION ADVANTAGE SEEN IN TREATY GREATER CONTROL GIVEN (Australian and N.Z. Press Association) Reed. 9.30 a.m. LONDON. Friday. Arising from Mr. Stanley Bruce’s comments on the proposed treaty with Egypt, it is authoritatively stated that both the Foreign and Colonial Offices are convinced that the treaty is specially advantageous to Australia and New Zealand, because it ensures both a greater and a more permanent control of the canal than was possible previously. British troops will be entitled to establish a line of military protection approximately 25 miles west of the canal. The Imperial authorities contend that the resolutions of the 1926 Imperial Cooference regarding consultation of the Dominions were meticulously carried out. Mr. Bruce and Sir Joseph Ward, Prime Minister of New Zealand, were fully informed step by step of every actual or prospective development, and continue to be fully informed.
