LONDON, July 26.-Both houses OF
the British Parliament adjourned this
afternoon until October 20 after an
animated session in the House Of Com
mons over the questions Of Egyptian
policy and the forthcoming reparations
policy conference.
In the closing hours Of today's final
session the new Labor government
! calmly withstood severe attack from
the Conservative side over the question
of Anglo Egyptian relations precipitated
by the resignation Of Lord Lloyd, as
British high commissioner in Egypt.
The attack was led by former Premier
Stanley Baldwin, reinforced by Winston
Churchill, former chancellor of the
ExcheQuer.
No Policy Change.
Foreign Secretary Arthur Henderson
indicated there would be no change in
the governments Egyptian policy unless
the desire to treat Egyptian internal
affairs with the utmost nberality could
be so construed. Parliament would be
consulted before any new treaty with
Egypt should become effective.
AS to the virtual dismissal Of Lord
Lloyd by the Labor ministry, Mr..
Henderson said the late Conservative
government had had frequent differ
ences with his lordship and said the
new government soon became convinced
it could not carry out its desired policy
toward Egypt with so unSympathetic a
representative In Cairo.
Premier Ramsay Macdonald said
former Premier Baldwin, Mr. Churchill
and their associates well knew Lord
Lloyd was one Of the first problems the
government would have to deal with
and that no one In the House of Com
mons could have been less surprised
taken with regard to him.
Former Premier Baldwin offered little
in rebuttal to Mr.. Henderson's detailed
outline of Lord Lloyds differences with
the Conservative government.
Mr.. Churchill, however, remarking
that Lord Lloyd was his friend, pro-
voked Premier MacDonald's statement
by insisting the Labor government was
anxious to displace his lordship because
he stood for frmness in British rights"
Discuss Preparations.
After the Egyptian discussion the gov
eminent brought up some Of the prob
lens likely to appear in the forthcoming
conference to put into effect the Young
reparationS plan.
Chancellor Of the Exchequer Philip
Snowden declared that If Great Britain
got all she could expect under the new
proposals, she would have just enough
to pay her American debts. leaving no
surplus. France would have surplus
of $100,000,000 annually after her debt
payments had been made and all the
other creditor powers would also have
SURPRISES, he said.
Mr.. Snowden stated there was no de-
sire to increase the amount of claims
which Germany would be called upon to
pay. The British government would &C
cept the scale of annuities proposed.
AS to deliveries in kind, the government
could not agree to accept the proposals
in the report unless compelled to do so.
He described the proposals about de-
liveries in kind as constituting a new
demand for further sacrifices from
Great Britain and said he was express
ing the governments view In saying the
limit of concessions had been reached.
