the London government. but by the time this became generally known throughout the land of the pyramids he had to bow to an indignant popu- lace and resign. his cabinet going with him. Now King Fuad of Egypt is left alone to argue with the British. and his prospects to emerge victorious in the debate are not good.
 Egypt wants its independence. to begin with. It is hard to fancy the British agreeing to any such spec tacle of self-determination. especial ly with the suez canal nearby. The British stand is that the canal must be protected. and that the Egyptians are not fit for this job. England would go . little further. too, dedr- ing to maintain troops in Egypt and to have some sort of control over the Egyptian police. It seems that the British are taking no chances, as usual.
 Back in 1923 the British govern ment granted Egypt conditional in- dependence" at which time the British protectorate was terminated. The protectorate had started in 1914. when the land was taken from the semi-suzerainty of Turkey. The peaceful arrangements" concluded in 1922 by Lloyd George were widely heralded. but did not turn out peaceful, eliminating in the assassi- nation in 1924 of Sir Lee Stack. The present foreign office seems to have concluded that the earlier arrange ment was . mistake. AS . matter of fact. there has been more trouble with the Egyptians since that time than before.
 What Egypt has lost as a result of British rule is hard to locate. how ever. while its material gains have been many. During the 4e years Of British rule the population has doubled. it being more than 1t.0o.. 900 last year, with more than . million people living in Cairo. The irrigation system, the life of Egypt. has been enormously improved, and the great Sennar dam built far up the Nile was opened two years ago. Land has trebled in value during the past eight years. motor trucks have been crowding the camels from the historic highways GO centuries old. and tourists again are crowding up the Nile to the great monuments of an ancient civilization. But political ly everything is in turmoil. The Egyptians. civilized and impregnat- ed with political theories from the west, have seized upon self-determi- nation as somsthins necessary to their happiness. The British see a wealth of cotton. perhaps oil. and other minerals in Egypt; the canal is close at hand and Is one of the main highways of the British em- pire. For these reasons, and perhaps some others. the British are not in- clined to yield too much to the na- ton which has been revived after so many centuries of mere existence. Important also is the possibility that if Englands folds up her tents in Egypt some other aspiring power might try to get in later. Anybody knowing Britain likewise realizes that this will not be allowed 10 hap pen as long as London has any diplomacy left.
