Charged
WITH SEEING Of
EGYPT AS COLONY

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-In a brief
filed today with the foreign relations
committee of the United States SEN
ate Joseph w. Folk, former governor
Of Missouri, counsel for the Egyptian
commission, charges that England
under the gulse OF a protectorate over
Egypt, practically has seized that
country as a British possession" that
IN an annex to the peace treaty the
STATUS or Egypt would be made an In
ternal question and beyond the juris-
diction Of the council of the league Of
naAtons, which council the Egyptians
9esire to pass upon the status OF
The document sets forth that the
original occupation Of Egypt by Brit
ish troops beginning,in 1882 was claimed
by the British government to be mere
~ temporary for the purpose OF sup
pressing rebels and collecting debts
due Europeans. The British govern
ment,, says Mr.. Folk, pledged Egypt
would be only temporary.
After giving q resume Of the politi-
cal history of modern Egypt n the
alleged wrongs done in that country
to enforce British rule in the last sew
eral decades" the brief recites the
story Of THE killing OF 800 and the
"NAAAAAH VI AfV0V " huNANRH
last April in the streets Of their cities
while holding demonstrations for free
dom under the self determination
clauses Of the peace treaty"
Mr., Folk who was formerly solicitor
for the state department and who now
represents the commission which was
named by the legislative assembly Of
Egypt, a majority Of whom were elected
by the people, he tsays, calls attention
to tho fact that Egyptian troops, num-
bering 1000, 000 fought on the side OF
the allies to make, as they believed
the world safe for democracy and for
the right OF national self determination
for all peoples"
Egypt before the war, ne says, was
independent for all practical purposes
though under the nominal sovereignty
OF Turkey and subject to an annual
tribute to Turkey. On Dec. is, 1914, II
Is stated Great Britain removed the
ruler OF Egypt and appointed Prince
Hussein as sultan "ostensibly as a wal
measure and assumed by the Egypt
ans to be such.'
When tho time came for making
peace, Mr.. Folk observed. 'the Egypt
an people naturally concluded tina
since, under the league OF nations, they
would be preserved from external az
erosion, the protectorate OF Grea
Britain would be removed. But the,
were doomed to disappointment"
The Egyptian legislative Assembly
commission on the way to Paris To- pre-
sent that country's claims, II u
charged, was "interned by order Of tn,
British government upon reaching Nal

ton OF Gen. Allenby, it Is said, !
reached Paris ''only to find, witt
amaEement, that q recognition OF tn
British prutectorate over Egypt hat

In conclusion the brief states:

LABOR SECRE TARY WILSON
TELLS VIEWS Of LABOR'S
FUTURE AFTER THE WAR

Il am of the opinion that from the
time we restore ourselves to our nor
NAL postwar activities, the demand
for peace time production will be SO
great that there will not be the re-
hottest possibility of securing any re-
duction in the wage rates from their
present basis. 1 feel further, that the
manufacturer who fails to take into
consideration the prospects of the flu
ture and who, in a hope of securing
a cheaper labor or cheaper raw mater
ial, does not build up his organiza-
ton and maintain it during the pos
sibly brief period of reimbursement. will
be handicapped in securing his share
of the business afterwards; because
he will be handicapped through lack
Of working forces in his factory.
