ial Committee.

a special commission was agreed to By
Secretary Mellon Friday in letter
sent to the house ways and means COM
mittee with the approval of President
Harding
The revised measure Us suggested
in the sccretary's letter would follow
in some respects the changes already
contemplated by house leaders.
Instead of giving supreme authority
to the treasury secretary for refund
ing the loans the new administration
plan would entrust the task to COM
mission of five members. one of whom
would be the secretary The other
four would be named by the president
with the provision that any nominee
who is not a cabinet member must be
confirmed by the senate.
1t is understood that administration
leaders contemplate the inclusion Of
at least three cabinet members in the
proposed commission and it is possible
that the entire membership may be
chosen from the presidents Official
family. Besides the secretary of the
treasury it is believed that the secre
tary of state and the secretary of

publican party was voted the respon-
sbility and to discharge it successful
ly. its members should be called in

Let the Wedding

y american ana Otncr foreign com
mercial. banking and shipping firms
are watching developments closely and
while they sympathize. it is said, with
the aspirations of the Egyptians for
self government. they do not relish
the thought Of the possible cessation OF
courts applying European law which
in the past. has meant security for
their business and protection for their
families.
Pay No Taxes
All Americans in Egypt at present
enjoy freedom from taxation, the right
to be tried in criminal cases by the
American consular courts and recourse
in civil actions to the international
mixed courts in which America is rep
resented by three American judges.
While the American colony in Egypt
is small and takes no active part or
interest in local politics. it would not
agree that the Washington govern
ment relinquish any of the rights and
privileges its members now enjoy.
There are two parties among the
Egyptians: the Nationalists headed
by Saad Iaghloul, for three years now
the leader Of the masses and the gov
ernment or Moderate party led By ABLY
Yegen. Zaghloul conducted the first
negotitions with Lord Miners com
mission. The foreign office in London
has insisted that the Miner project,
which guaranteed certain rights of
treaty agreed upon by the British and
Egyptian governments.
The Nationailsts replied that no
treaty acceptable to the people. would
be possible until martial law was abol-
ished. the English protertorate formally
withdrawn. and a delegation be elected
by the people to negotiate treaty.
A delegation composed of ministers and
headed by ABLY Yegen, without any
representation for Iaghloul and his
followers. was appointed by the Sultan
and proceeded to London to arrange
the treaty. ....
Oppose Treaty
The Nationalists, it is declared, will
oppose in every way any treaty made
by this delegation, and this may mean
n renewal of party strife. Shonld the
delegation return from the conference
dissatisfied. the Egyptian nation again
may be united against the English end
the days of rioting and terror may re-
turn In either case the business COM
munity has misgivings, especially as
the commercial situation is beginning
to have brighter outlook after two
years of bad times.
Demand Of the Egyptians for indie
pendence is met by the equally vehem-
ent determination of Britain not to re
lnqnish any of her interests and nrivi-
lcges '!on the road to India" Mean
while. the foreign colonies now in
Egypt have indicated that they will
only exchange their present privileges
for something better.
