Egypt by nnother country, and Il:
would consider any aggression against
the territory of Egypt as an act TO be
repelled by all means at its command.
Mr.. Lloyd George said that Of course
Great Britain would accept protection
for foreign interests and minorities in
Egypt las q responsibility inseparable
from the special position we clQkU in
that country
lie instanced cases during the last
few years in which foreigners were
protected and he expressed the hope
that with the recognition of their status
as an Independent nation. the Egyptians
would recognize how imperative IL was
to keep passions within proper bounds.
The efforts Of any Egyptian Government
I'm this direction would always. he said,
enjoy the sympathy and support Of the
British Government.
England first took an active part in
Egyptian affairs under Disraeii through
the purchase Of shares in the Suez
Canal. which gave her n large fnan-
cial interest there. AT the time Of
Arabi's uprising In 1882, British war
ships were sent TO Alexandria and troops
landed to protect the people OF that
rebels. These troops have never been
withdrawn.
At the beginning Of the great war
Great Britain formally proclaimed a
protectorate over Egypt, and It Is this
which Lloyd George now announces re-
linquished Since the war ended there
has been much unrest among the peo.
ple of the county. whose slogan has
been Egypt for the Egyptians"
