Recently Lord Allen-by, who is Britain's resident at Cairo. to watch thc transfer ofisuthorltyio the Nationalist Government, warn- erhthe Egyptian people that the British Government mislll be 110m- pellell to interfere unless order were restored. Murders of British officers, outrages on British citi- zens and general disorders go un- checked and unpunished. The Nat- ionalist Mlnistry is eithcr unable or unwilling to take steps to give protecton to foreigners. lt is play- ing for the support of the extreme rlntl- British element. withg-l belief thlit the British Government will not undertake tile great responsib- ility of assuming a campaign 01' r0- conquest without being compelled to do so. As Britain seems well out oI' the Egyptian mess, for the time. London would iiluch prefer to i-llve tile Nationalists their own lilltil. H5 llong as the terms ol‘ the Treaty ot‘ llntlependence are obeyed. But no ‘British Government tolerates con- tlnucd assassination of British sub- ‘jects in another country, without 1puiling it up quickly, and Egypt is Ino exception.
