Egypt Annoyed
A German broadcast caused a good deal of annoyance in Egypt recently, according to a report sent to "Great Britain and the East" by its Cairo correspondent. The Nazi spokesman trom Berlin, he reported, referred to a " parasitic people" called the Egyptians, whose young King, Premier, and Sheikh of Al Azhar would receive the punishment they deserved — hanging in Station Square-when Germany took control of their country. This was bad enough, but worse was to come. The broadcaster advised the people to attend to their internal affairs and, particularly, to repair the main station clock, which had not functioned for two days!
