EX-PREM|ER FEARS

Future Jeopardized by
squeeze Play"
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Egypt, october 22.-Former
Premier Ismail Pasha Sidky said to-
Italy are executing squeeze play on
Egypt which is forcing this country
onto the field of battle.
Sidky, whose Iron hand" govern
Ynent endured longer than any other
since the World War. declared in an
interview Egypt is being forced against
its will Unto the field Of battle be-
tween two big powers and
Italy.
Recognized as one of the outStand-
ing figures of Egyptian politics, whose
government was supported strongly
by Britain, the former premier made
clear he wants Egypt to be friends
will all nations"
Fears Italian Disaffection.
Sitting in his home beneath an
autographed picture of Premier Mus
solini of Italy, Sidky expressed the fear
that Egypts future might be preju-
diced by her being made an enemy of
Italy.
Our country is being treated in this
affair as a colony populated with prim-
itive peoples who have to bow with
out an understanding Of everything
imposed upon them" he said.
Commenting on the week end speech
in England of Walter Runciman, pres
ident of the British board of trade,
in which Alexandria was described as
the strategic center of the world, "
Sidky said:
'Unhappily for Egyptians, it is the
strategic center for the British. We
would like Alexandria to be the center
for both Egypt and Britain"
Prefers British Alliance.
Asked II he preferred Egypt to be
in a position to call on the United
States and other powers for protection
in case of an emergency instead of
having Britain solely responsible for
national defense, he said he would
prefer a military alliance with Eng
land.
I'VE have common interests" he
explained, but I want to see mill
tary alliance on an equal footing.
We would like such an alliance if we
got compensations.
Sentimental tendencies incline the
Egyptian people to accord their SYM
pathies to neighbor country whose
independence is menaced. On the
other hand, Italian intervention in
Ethiopia does not affect seriously our
interests in the source of the Blue
Nile-interests which are exaggerated.
Insists on Enlightened Role.
"In this matter we received all kinds
of assurances Italy would not touch
our ancient rights. This British
statesmen have revealed in their
speeches.
I'VE keep on declaring we would
be glad to keep ourselves on the side
of Britain and her efforts toward
triumph of principles Of the League

exploits Of valor Of Ethiopian armies.
The only physical care the hardened
Ethiopian warriors seem to require is
for their feet.
As they march barefooted day after
day over thorny, rocky, burning ground,
their feet become 1acerated by stones
and thorns. After the splinters and
other foreign bodies are removed, their
wives and other camp followers dress
the warriors feet with goats tallow,
poured boiling hot into the wounds.
Ethiopian soldiers eat only once q
day, usually in the morning, If food Is
plentiful. If it is scarce they prefer
to eat at night.
Purged Before Battle.
Before entering battle the war
riors purge themselves not only spiritu-
ally but physically, because they be-
lieve they must be purified If they wish
to enter heaven.
