There are two outstundlng issues 1

Secondly, the future of the Anglo-Egyptiaii SUdB'.l.

The right wliirli Britain enjoys of strttioiilng n tmnll force for the defence of tile Canal Zone was gr;tlil.cd at ll time when Egypt had l-rttsoll to lelir a-,'gl'cssioii from the Rolnc-Berlin axis.

Mr. Acheson made it. quite clear in 1! prepared ntatetncnt. to the mess that nltliougli the abrolzntloii of the Aiiirlo-Egyptian Treaty was a matter of direct. concern only to the two peoples. yet it did raise issues wlilch were also "of general concern to the free world" and he strongly condemned the Eg,vpt.lan Government for lta proposed unl- liitcrtil abrogation of the treaty.

In neither of there tit-titles or agreements ls there any provlslon for unilateral abrogation. Provlslon was made that the 1038 treaty, In which the Sudan agree- menu were reaffirmed. could be revised after ten yeara lf both parties agreed to negotiations.
