France -lo the Anglo-Egyptian
question Ioomed ominously today as
Premier Herriot and his cabinet met
ro consider Frances attitude towards
England In the present crisis.
T5a ar.ir- Fre0ch press with one
voice denounced the action of Eng
land IN its brutal assault on the ma
-oral Independence of the Egyptian
people Not that the imperialists of
France have amy more concern for
the rights of small nations than Eng
land has. but the interests of the two
great powers clash in the Near East,
hence the threatened hostiities.
The scrapping of the league Of ma
dons by the tory government came
simultaneously with the announce
ment that Egypt would submit its
side of the question to the league.
France would back up the Egyptian
claim Practically every nation of
consequence on the continent Of Eu-
rope has no friendly feeling for Eng
land and may follow the lead of
France in blocking Britian's efforts

considerably Influenced by Russian
representations in behalf of Egypt

possession Of this trade artery by an
other power a threat to India and her
pactical ownership of Egypt.
The French press compares the
British not to Egypt to that sent to
Serbia in 1914, This comparison an
gers the virSuous British ruling class
VINO claim that they have not abOl-
shed Egyptian independence, but
simply insist on running it, owing to
me failure of the Egyptians to run ii
