EGYPTIAN GOVT.

/ demands. argued that they either
ran counter to the Egyptian consti-
tuition or were matters to be dealt
with by diplomatic methods. He also
remarked that the most liberal policy
compatible with the principle of in
dependence had been towards for
eigners and that no observations had
been received from other foreign
powers.
Zagloul had previously read this
reply to the deputies and had OBJ
tanned another vote of confidence.
Niscount Allenby, to whom 1t is be-
lieved the British government is ieay-
Ing the entire conduct of the negotia-
lions, promptly replied to the Egyp-
, tian premier that the indemnity must
be paid by noon tomorrow: that,
| since Egypt refused to comply with
the demands relating to Sudan. the
British authorities would themselves
see that they were carried out, and
that he would later indicate what
| course his government intended to
pursue concerning the protection of
, foreign interests.
Among government officials in
London 1t is commended that the Brit
ish demands concerning Sudan are
designed and justified in order to pro-
tect the Sudan from insidious attacks
upon its peace arising from Egyptian
propaganda. They claim that evil
dence exists that the riots in Sudan
this year were instigated from
Egyptian sources and that the only
remedy is the removal of the Egyp-
tian forces from the Sudan. They
argue that the British government
has, been too optimistic about the
ability Of the Egyptians to govern
themselves. and is in fact greatly
disappointed at the turn of events.
Ohciai circles further point out
that without revoking the declaration
OF Egyptian independence or depart
ing from the agreement of 1922 re-
garding the Sudan, the British gov
eminent is acting in full conscious
! ness of its trusteesnip for foreign
| countries in Egypt. And in view of
recent events, the government has
no option but to insist upon the
! posts of British financial and i,,SiiciaI
! advisors and a third post. public Sc
cur1ty director, since the Zagfoul
I government has already encroached
upon their powers, and the position
OF other British officials has been
rendered difficult by the action Of
i that government ~
The British governments corten-
tion Is that Premier Zagloul persist
ed in infiamiRg the political atnaos-
phere even while he was engaged in
negotiations in London with a per
Iecty cocfhatory government and
that In the interest of the British
position In the Sudan and that of

With reference to Irrigation in the
Gezira district. It is explained that
the British government had under
taken to build a dam which wouii
hold back water for Irrigation at
Geizira. This occasioned an eottcry
among the Egyptians, who imagined
It would deprive them Of water,
which was not the case. In order 70

Longworth Would
Ignore Insurgents
In Committee Plums

Washington, Nov. 22-Representa-
tive LongwortA Of Ohio, the Repub-
lican floor leader, came out today in
favor of restricting the considera-
ton heretofore given the insurgent
Republicans in the House.
Those insurgents who failed to
support President Coolidge. MIR.
I.ongworth said, had no call for I'M
due consideration in the organization
of the next House.
Mr.. Longworth. who called upon
President Coolidge. commended that,
inasmuch as the Republicans will be
held responsible for legislation, the
party should take such steps in the
organization of the next House as
shall prevent hindrance from the in
surgent group. He did not outline
any specific plan for taking care of
the La Toilette supporters in the
way of committee assignments.
Longworth predicted that all nee
essary legislation could be accom-
plished at this session without the
necessity of an extra session after
March 4, but he has not outlined any
definite legislative program. While
opposing the publication Of income
tax returns, which. he said, was not
the intent of the law, he said lie
doubted the wisdcSn of reopening
this question at this session with the
same membership that enacted the
present law.
Although he said he had. been ap-
preached by his state delegation and
by members of majority of the
other delegations asking that he be a
candidate for speaker in the next
Congress. to succeed Speaker GIL
lett, Longworth has not formally an
nounced his candidacy. Representa- =
tive Madden of Illinois. is an avow-
ed candidate for the place.
