HIT AT CAIRO.
(sy a Staff Correspondent of the
United Press,o

CAIRO, Egypt, March 2S.-Disre-
garding the warning of the national
lists, former President Theodore
Roosevelt, in an address before the
University of Egypt, today took a
square stand for law enforcement,
denouncing the assassination of
Premier Boutros Pasha so vigor-
ously that it surprised even those
knowing the colonel's fearless rep
utation.
The Nationalsts, it Is believed
here, are responsible for the assas-
sination. Despite the fact that
many members of the faculty and
many students are in sympathy
with the Nationalists. there was so
much in Roosevelt's address ap-
pealing to enlightened Egyptians,
regardless of politics, that the
colonel was roundly applauded and
heartily congratulated at the end
of his address.
The nearest Roosevelt came to
repeating statements in his address
at Khartoum, in which he said Eng.
lish rule in Egypt is beneficial,
came when he said:
ut will not make people self
governing merely to give them a
constitution. There must first be
training of the people to fit them
for constitution. This usually is
a slow, though steady develop
ment"
Referring to the assassination of
Premier Boutros. Roosevelt said:
The assassination was a greater
calamity than any wrong of the
'assassins' victim"
