SECURITY OF EGYPT
NATURE OF ASSURANCES ! BY BRITAIN. STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 1. Mr Chamberlain was asked in the House of Commons what was the nature of the assurances relating to the defence of Egypt recently given by Britain. He replied that he presumed the question referred to a statement made by the Egyptian Prime Minister on April 24.. That statement was noted with much appreciation by Britain, which on many occasions had assured Egypt she might entirely depend on the full and loyal co-operation of Britain in carrying out the provisions of the Anglo-Egypt-ian Treaty. The Egyptian Premier, Mahmud Pasha, announced on April 24 in Parliament that Britain had given an assurance that in the event of an emergency the Egyptian land, sea and air forces would receive sufficient help to enable them to defend their country adequately. These assurances were already being implemented. While Egypt hoped for peace, she was taking all precautions and would no.t be taken unawares, added the Premier.
