IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

O. r. H. JENNER NON PERSONA GRATA TO CO
roMBrA-TilE POLICY or OCCUPYING EGYPT
London March l3-In the House OF Commons to-
day Reginald McKenna. Liberal. member for North
Monmouthshire inquired whether the Government
OF the United States OF Colombia In notifying Great
Britain that Colombia would not recognize G.. +. Is.
Jcnner British Minister Bogota. In future. had
said that the action OF the Colombian Government
was due to defects In Mr.. Jenner's diplomatic
temper.
George y Curzon. I nder Secretary to the Foreign
once. replied that Mr.. Jenncr himself had tele-
graphcd that the Government OF Colombia would
not recognize him. but that Colombia had not notl-
cause Of It's action.
In the course OF the discussion OF the army esti-
mates Mr. Labouchere. Radical. member for North
ampton. offered a motion demanding the immediate
evacuation OF Egypt by Great Britain Mr.. I.nbou-
chcrc. speaking hts motion. proceeded to cricise
the policy OF the occupation OF Egypt, but the
Speaker stopped him. saying that the Chair would
only permit the discussion Of matters Immediately
relating to the army.
Mr.. Labouchcre replied that II would be- impossible
discuss the question upon that basis and that he.
therefore. would not move the resolution.
Sir William Harcourt contended that the mere
accident OF tho forms OF the House ought not TO
prevent the discussion of the situation I'm Egypt.
He suggested that the debate the Egyptian
situation should take place upon the coming up OF
the vote for men, which, he thought. the Govern
ment should allow 10 be considered at the earliest
possible time.
Mr.. Balfour. the Government leader. agreed that
the vote for men should be taken Monday when
Mr.. Iabouchcre should open the debate.
