BRITAIN AND EGYPT
PROBABLE REDUCTION OF ARMED FORCE
(Australian and N.Z. Press Association) LONDON, Sunday.
No definite decision has been reached as to the force to be maintained by Britain in Egypt if the proposed new agreement comes into operation. The “Sunday Times,” ha,-ever, says it understands the Cairo Infantry Brigade probably will be sent home and the cavalry brigade be reduced to one regiment. It says the reductions would total three-fifths of the present forces, leaving 4,000 men in Egypt.
