Egypt's independence.


The agreed proposals which are re-
ported to have been reached between
Zaghul Pasha and the Miner commits
sion promise to extract thorn from the
empires side, The British people never
had much liking for holding down peo-
pie in a perpetual state of unrest"
The Egyptians rendered good service
In the war. and earned their right to
the independence" which Is now to be
recognized in lieu Of the protectorate
We have hitherto exercised over them.
At the same time, independent Egypt
will accept Britain's guiding hand In a
treaty OF alliance between the two coun-
tries. We shall maintain a garrison to
protect the Suez canal and act as a
kind of general trustee OF foreign in
terests, while Egypt looks to us to
ward off aggression and to nurse the
intricacies of her public debt. It Is
satisfactory to know that the British
officials who retire or are replaced by
Egyptians under the new regime win be
safeguarded by proper terms of COM
pensation.
After all, the best way to buttress
the empire for all time IL TO win the
affection and trust Of the peoples who
have come under our charge. II is
natural that such peoples should prefer
a government of their own to any
however well planned and well inten-
tioned-that we may think better Of
them. An alliance with Egypt win give
us and her the peace which a protect
crate never would

take stock Of our other commitments

menia to Afghanistan. But we are be-
ginning to build up in Mesopotamia

crate bureaucracy as that from which
We are about to relieve the Egyptians
We cannot afford 1t. and they don't
want 1t. Allowing for local differences,
the Egyptian model stands, Let us put

and come home.
