A. q government u q part OF the com
munisy. Il follows that u the whole nation
agreed 20 change their ruling method
the Hovernment agrees to do n. But this
rule cannoe Be applied 60 our present state
because. had the Egyptian people 20 face
only their own Government they would
have obtained the constitution. a. they did

70 consider our exceptional international
sitaaeton. and we must ke~p untouched
our treaties with the foreign nations. and
first duty to retain and safeguard all these
treaties. We have conssnssd 60 these
treaties. and We must keep theSa at what
ever cost and not initiate others In violating
them.
An thess foreign elements have absolu,ely
disturbed the balance between the Govern

That's what Roosevelt Gays. Yss. u b
true that the Lords support Il with those
who perssvers In sxpurRating their souls
from sin. their bodies from seFvitude and
their energy from meptltude. That -
What the Arabic prOverb means. Mr.. ROo~e-
vele. and not TO be patient and live In bond
age and aervility. How long shall we
pattently VAR according TO ROo-eveli's
advice when we don't know the deliberate
reason for the British capitalization and
when their promises are never fulnlledP
What reason has Roosevelt to ask ~ to
wait when the Government never listened
to thu universal outcry Of the nation for
compulsory and general edUcation3 Why
should We wait when the Government does
not encourage home industry. but crippled
Il by supporting the foreign industries2
Does Roosevelt know that the Government
money h unwtssly spent On unnecessary
enterprise while her reserve u used nv her
mighty officials In Specializing IN foreign
stocksg
The Government has failed after q cen
fury to make education universal in the
Arabic language. Docs Roosevelt know
30 stiIl study IN FOREIGN lsngus re- while
our language h one of the widest And
does he know that tho Government has
done lie best TO stop the foundation o. the
Cairo University where he was spea king

The development Of our economical. !

conditions cannot ne realized till We ob'sin I
the Constitution. The present Governmsnt 1
admits our tnsptituds for self govern |

failure after centuries TO prepare W for \
