PACIFYING EGYPT.
EFFECT OF LORD MILNER'S SPEECH FRESH CONFERENCE PROBABLE. Br Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. IjOlldtin, Nov. 5. In view of the speech by Lord Milner in the House of Lords yesterday, in which he stated there was no reason to suppose that the Egyptian Nationalists were generally hostile to Britain, or that tilt; attainment of their aspirations were neco3sariiy inconsistent with the safeguarding of British interests, the Egyptian delegation will probably postpone their departure from London in anticipation of a fresh conference with Lord Milner.
Zaghlul Pasha stated the speech has produced a very good impression. Hi paid a tribute to Lord Milner's ability and sympathy, and said that Lord Milner had endeavored to build the Empire, not by force, but by friendly means. Despite difficulties and misunderstandings, Zaghlul Pasha said he had not abandoned hope of an agreement, which all Egyptian patriots desired. The granting of independence to Egyptians would bo a permanent Anglo-Egyptian link of friendship.—Reuter Service.
