Egypt, British Crisis
On Suez Canal Seen
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, July 11.-Egypt was
reported last night to have set a
deadline for withdrawal of the
British garrison from the Sue2
Canal.
Diplomatic informants said
British failure to comply probably
would be met by Egypt's denunci-
alton of her 20-year defense
pact with Britain.
Official circles here feared ma
tionalistic leaders Of Egypt, copy
ing their Iranian counterparts,
have decided to follow tougher
line in their dealings with Bri-
tain.
The main British argument in
regard to their canal garrison is
that 1t is essential to maintain
British forces there in view of
the world situation.
Diplomatic officials said Egypt
turned down the latest British
proposals for revising the defense
pact in a communication handed
British Ambassador Sir Ralph
Stevenson in Cairo last Friday.
Last month Britain proposed to
undertake a step-by-step with
drawal from the Canal Zone. AS
to the Sudan. which Egypt wants,
Britain said there should be rec
ignition Of the right of the Su-
danese to have say in their own
future. The Sudan is now ruled
jointly by Britain and Egypt.
