had done in Egypt what France did not hesitate
70 do in Tunis, it would have virtually con-
fessed what was Indignantly denied in Parlia-
ment at the time, namely, that the campaign
against Arab was strictly bondholders' war;
The Gladstone Government has not followed
this example; and it is entitled to great credit
for dispelling the illusion that it fought a

TIE EUROPEAN GUARANTEE.

The European guarantee is the characteristic
feature of the Egyptian financial agreement.
Great Britain originally proposed to assume the
responsibility for the loan required to clear of
the floating indebtedness. The French Govern
ment in its counter proposals suggested that
the guarantee should be international in char
acter In the negotiations which followed
Great Britain protested against the establish
ment of any form of multiple control over the
financial administration. Probably the diplo-
matists have not succeeded in qualifying the
form of the guarantee so as to remove the Objec-
tions offered TO multiple control Mr..
Cbilders states that while the Powers have
united in a declaration of responsibility for the
loan, the agreement does not confer upon any
one of them the right to interfere with Eng
lands internal administration of Egyptian
affairs. Yet his speech is vague. 1t does not
help us to understand how European guar
antee can be devoid of significance. How Great
Britain can have precisely the same liberty of
action under an agreement of this sort which it
would have acquired by guarantee of its own
is a new mystery of Egyptian diplomacy.
Our special cable dispatch es show that the
text of the agreement leaves the mystery I'M
solved.
Eugands course in dealing with Egypt has
not met with the approval of the bondholders.
If Mr. Gladstone had accepted the responsibility
of governing the country conquered by General
Woseley and guaranteed the debt, the money
lenders would have been on his side and the in
ternationa financial commission would have
disappeared. This is what France did in Tunis,
and as that shrewd observer, NJ. Blowitz, has
shown, all diplomatic difficulties have vanished
owing to the influence of the financial grandecs
throughout Europe. If England had guaran-
teed Egyptian stocks in the same way and had
conducted the administration of the country,
the hondholders would have been willing to
have the interest reduced on the entire debt.
They could have afforded TODD this, because the
value of their securities would have been
greatly increased by this action of the Glad
stone Government. They obtained neither
guarantee of the debt nor an assurance OF a
