British Justice Described

Ask an Egyptian fellah, and he
will tell in tears the ruthless sys-
tenn Of British taxation Of his land
that keeps him perennially on the
verge of starvation. Year In and
year out the people Of Egypt have
to pay enormous sums Of money
in the shape Of salaries and pen
sions to British officials in Egypt
and Great Britain. Year In and
year out, Egypt has to pay an ap-
palling sum Of money for the sus-
tenance Of the British army Of &C.
cupation. Egypt Is thus forced to
pay for the soldiers who keep her
In subsection.
Egypt grows a splendid and quite
large crop of cotton, and yet, why
is it that textile industries are con-
spicuous by their absence in that
country? The reason Is not far to
seek. The British manufacturers
Of Manchester must prosper at the
cost Of Egypt. So they do; and
Egypt stsrves.
Economically Egypt is just as
happy a hunting ground for the
British head-hunting imperialists
as India is.
As for the flamboyant talk Of
British justice in Egypt, it is only
to be found in British books and
on British lips. My Egyptian
friends in Egypt, Europe and
America claim to have no knowl-
edge OF its existence on the banks
of the Nile. The Denshawai
pigeon shooting case is a typical
example of British justice In
Egypt. A few years ago fine Eng.
lish officers of the British army
OF occupation went to shoot the
pet pigeons Of the village Of Den
shawai. The villagers objected to
the outrage, whereupon the brave
and chivalrous English officers
opened fire and wounded one
woman and three men.

thus. IN part:

Who is Zaghlul Pasha? He is
the leader of the Egyptian Ma
tionlists. He is a man Of unim-
peachable character, contagious
sincerity, and reckless unselfish-
ness. To see him is to notice a
man of towering personality.
In personal appearance he is
quite unlike Mahatma Gandhi, the
leader of the non.violent. non-co-
operative movement in India.
Gandhi Is short in statue, about
five feet. Zaghlul Is about six

weighs about ninety pounds. and
Zaghlul more than two hundred
Gandhi is an ascetic. Zaghlul is
