house of commons today When he re-
lated all that he Thought necessary

in Paris and Rome
Mr.. Chamberlain admitted that he
had not discussed the question Of in

rcgrettirg the governments policy
with respect to Egypt and Russia, and
after these opening passages MIR.
Chamberlain proceeded to reply to Dir.
Trevelyan's criticisms. Thus his
speech dealt largely with Egypt and
Russia.
The foreign secretary repudiated
any desire to withhold deserved credit
from Ramsay Macdonald. although he
thought the former Labor premier
went profoundly wrong on the Russian
treaties.
He went fully into the history of the
Egyptian question. He asserted that
Great Britain was in the Sudan as
trustee; she would be loyal to the con-
dominium with Egypt. but after past
experiences must take over certain
powers. without which she could not
discharge her duties.
lie declared that the surety of COM
munications in Egypt was vital 10 the
very existence of the empire and as
serted that Egypt was no case to take
to the League of Nations.
Ramsay Macdonald in his reply said
that If the government were not PEE
rared to sign the Geneva peace pro-
tocoi IT must announce its position re-
specting the securi;y OF France and
Belgium and the various small states.
He hoped that when Mr. Churchill,
chancellor of the exchequer, went to
meet the foreign representatives to
discuss inter-allied debts he would go
with his hands free and not tied.
