The debate on the Address in the Egyptian Chamber on
Monday was in form very friendly to Great Britain, but the Times correspondent has some misgivings. The reasons he gives are disturbing. It will be remem- bered that Ahmed Maher Pasha and Mahmud Effendi Nekrashi who were" acquitted against all the evidence in the political murders case, were afterwards elected to Parliament .without opposition. Their election was silently sanctioned by the Wafd and they received ovation when they took their seats. We now find tha these two Egyptians have been unanimously elect to three of the more important Parliamentary Committees As the names of the candidates had to be submitted t the Secretariat of the Chambers, a purely Wafd organiza tion under Saad Zaghlul Pasha, it seems that the Wafd has passed from connivance to open support of th uncompromising enemies of Great Britain. In the Education Committee, to which he has been elected, Nekrashi will be able to influence the opinions of t -students, in other words to manufacture the raw materi of political crime. • • -* *
