BRITAIN & EGYPT
POSITION MADE CLEAR. NO DECLARATION OF WAR SOUGHT. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 12.10 p.m.) RUGBY, June 24. Official circles in London have noted with satisfaction a declaration, reported in the Egyptian Press, of the Prime Minister, at a meeting of Egyptian elder statesmen under the auspices of King Farouk on Saturday night, to the effect that the British Government had never asked, either orally or in writing. that Egypt should declare war against Italy. It is to be hoped that this official and categorical 'declaration, which confirms a statement already made to the Press in London, will put an end to a manoeuvre palpably designed to mislead the Egyptian public.
