But some Egyptian pole iticianS have been found doing Axis work. And, at times past, the Waf- dist party, Egpyt's great nationalist group, has been none too friendly to the British.

across Egypt may bring the Egyp- tian army into compat with Axis armies for the first time in this war.
 So far, Egyptian troops have done none of the fighting to prevent Field Marshal Rommel's Germans and Italians from marching into the land of the Pharoahs. This has been done entirely by British Empire forces, which, by the 1886 treaty, had the right to be in Egypt, espec- ially to guard the SueZ Canal.
 But Egypt's army has, neverthe- less, helped Britain. It took over some of the garr1sons along the Suez Canal, thus releasing British troops for battle service.
