BRITAIN GIVES EGYPT WHAT IRELAND WON Removal of Protectorate Over! Pharaoh’s Land Marks an Epoch. INDIA NEXT IN ORDER! Special to Indiana Dally Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WALE. WASHINGTON, March 2. Not essentially to grant ‘•independence" to Egypt, but to buttress the quaking walls of the British Empire is regarded in Washington as the real motive of the ! termination of the British protectorate over the land of the Pharaoh. Viewed in that light American and Foreign diplomats pronounce the action just taken by the Lloyd George government as historic and far reaching in character. What Ireland has won, Egypt has now achieved and India is not likely much longer to be denied. That, in W ashington's opinion is what Great Britain's and- - means. It is, in other words, less a gesture of generosity than a shrewd measure of self-preservation. Virtually all of the burning questions of European and Asiatic politics are wrapped up with the Egyptian situation. In the Near East the spectre of more war between Greece and Turkey, with lta incalculable possibilities of embroiling greater powers, again terrifies tbe chancellories of Europe. The menace is a direct outgrowth of what Mohammedan India considers the "perfidy” of David Lloyd George. That dominating portion of India which is Islamic and acknowledges the spiritual sovereignty of the Caliphate, or Turkish Empire, has not forgiven, and will not forgive, the British prime minister for agreeing in the treaty of Sevres, after the World War, to assign Thrace to Greece. Indians declare they possess a solemn promise from the British government that such ''homelands” of Turkey would not be severed from the Islamic realm. Gr-at Britain la not in position to undo the treaty ol Sevres and keep her promise :o her hundreds of millions of Mohammedan subjects in India. Her inabill-y to do so, as Mr. Sastri, India's representative at the Washington conference, publi-’.y said on repeated occasions, is .ue primary reason for the growing spirit of revolt agaiust British domination in India. MAIIO MM E DAN 9 MIST BE APPEASED. Thus some authorities feel that the British government, with its invincible genius for compromise, seeks to appease the Mahommedan universe with Egyptian "independence." The people of Egypt, like the Islamic population of India, are loyal to the Caliphate, even though Egyptian soldiers fought under allied banners in the World War, after the Turks assailed the British on the Suez Canal.

Whether the termination of the British protectorate over Egypt originallyintended as a war measure, and so notified to the United States Government In 1914 will appease cither the Egyptians or their Indian coreligionists, remains to le seen. Near Easetra authorities In Washing.-on consulted by the writer today were inclined to be skeptical. They declare the declaration made by Lloyd George In the House of Commons on TYesday bestows anything but “sovereignty” or ‘'independence" upon Egypt. By reserving to "British discretion” the defense of the Suez Canal; the protection of Egypt against all foreign aggression or interference, direct or indirect, and the protection of Egypt's foreign interests and foreign minorities Near Eastern diplomats say the British retain an exceedingly firm grip on Egypt. T l 6 scheme at the time it was proposed oy the Milner commission and rejected by the British Cabinet was likened to the I’latt amendment whereby the United States retains certain jurisdiction over the foreign and defense affairs of Cuba. The relations between the United Steles and Cuba, of course, are not approximately either as delicate or as extensive as those which prevail between the British Empire and Egypt. VALUE OF SUEZ CANAL. British authorities here do not conceal the necessity of a strong British hand over Egypt’s foreign relations ar. particularly over the Suez Canal. That celebrated waterway, bequeathed to Queen Victoria by her adoring Disraeli as the most priceless achievement of his premiership, Is as vital to the integrity of tho British empire as the Panama Canal Is vital to the national security of the United States. Cut the Suez and you sever Britain’s imperial Jugular vein. Place It unrestrictedly at the disposal of a vengeful Egypt ready perhaps some day to ally itself with an aggrieved Turkey and a sullen India and Britain would take the first step, as many of her sons think in the direction of imperial suicide. That Is why David Lloyd George has determined to “watch his step” on the Nile. The thorn of Ireland having been removed from the British side, as the wily Welshman of Downing street thinks, Egypt for itself and for the nimeasurable possibilities dormant India Is next to be pacified. If the Egyptians accept the pipe of peace London has offered Cairo, there can be little doubt India next will be asked to smoke from Abe came briar—the Englishman’s favorite instrument. The spirit of self-determin-ation is abroad through George V’s globe girdling domains. Statesmen of Tision In London know it cannot long be suppressed. That is why the Prince of Wales celebrated the wedding of his sister Princess Mary, in far-off Bengal instead of pompfilled Westminster Abbey. —Copyright, 1922, by Public Ledger Company.
