‘BRITAIN MUST RULE IN EGYPT’ (Continued From Page 1) justified every word of that prophetic deliverance. Today, the British people have to decide whether they have any business to remain in Egypt at all. If they have not, then they ought to clear out altogether and leave Egypt to be governed—or misgoverned—by its own people, whatever the consequences may be. But if they have any responsibilities in Egypt as trustees, either for the British Empire or for civilization or i for both, then they must insist, at I all hazards, on order and good government being maintained. Britain has no right to place the lives of ! her officers in jeopardy ami then j make no effort to shield them from * assassins. She must either defend! her agents or abandon her task. There is no responsible body of j ! opinion in the world which would I urge Britain to clear out of Egypt I until the Egyptians have satisfied j | the nations of the earth that they j ‘ have acquired a greater capacity far j j ordered self-government than they 1 { have yet displayed. j The art of self-government is not ; acquired in a generation. The nations who now possess it have won it through centuries of bitter ex perlencf For at least 2,500 years, ; tiie Egyptians have been a subject ; people. Their first taste of real j liberty t ame to them under British [authority. Before the British oeI oupntion. they were being autoj critically and ruthlessly governed by | a race of alien rulers Gradually j and systematically, the Egyptian fellaheen have been given a voice, first through their provincial | councils and ultimately through i their parliament. in the govemj ment of rheir own country. The Egyptian nationalists refer j with pride to the great days of the i unmitigated Khedival rule, before j the hat' and British intervened, Mr Valentine (Tiirol in his luminous ; treatise on the Egyptian problem, j gives u? some i e a of what that na- | tionalis pnriohs • meant for the cu! • Tivoto-s of the soil, who constitute | time tenths of the Egyptian native ! popula• i mi “Long since gone is the spectacle ! 1 wit’.f- -,f in the days of Ismail of (whole gangs of wretched peasants be g dragged away in chains from . th-.r own field- to cultivate the •. -st • stnt< s which the khedive and , his faviait,. pashas had svsternali al\ f.lched from tic people feme ; i? the ,dd system of corvee, under I \\ hich tiie u■ i 1 nigh annual ' i k of avertin'- tic- menace of a dangerous ly luch or ,'accously low Nile w - ■ earned out by ' re 1 lalxm. cruelly '-.. ••lilted and still mote ci-tielly lien ril -d Gone is the kur! ash that. to blister th* sob'? of tic’ f*d- , •••-' feet anti! they had d,-g.-.-ge-’ • heir last piece of hidden f .1 ver or wearied the tax gat hen : - arm."

materlal evils of Khedival rule, it would have failed in its nobler pur- j pose—the training of the Eg ypi tan ; people themselves in the acts of : ordered self-government. Material prosperity is a. poor substitute for liberty and even-handed Justice, with- j out freedom, is but benevolent serf- | dom. That 1s why, by gradual steps, j they were taught what they were j never, in the glorious days of Egyp- I tian nationalism, given an oppor- j tunity of learning—how to climb, j unaided, the precipitous paths of j liberty. First, local, self-govern- i ment was conferred upon them, "as i the. best preparation and education j for the ultimate exercise of more responsible functions.” Then came i legislation with large and growing I powers and, finally, ctune the dec la- j ration of Egyptian independence in i 1922. It is a misfortune that those ! who led the fight for freedom have j done their best to prove they are yet ' unfit for it. The position is a difficult one for j both British and Egyptians. Until | the latter have demonstrated, by 1 years of stable and \ well-ordered government, that, they can be trusted to safeguard the great gateway, the nations of the West cannot aban don the trust which is m>w being ad ministered on their behalf by Britain. On the other hand, as long as a foreign country exercises control inside the land of Egypt, the pride of the people will be offended and friction must now and again ensue. All depends on the wisdom and restraint shown and the au thorite wielded by the Egyptian leaders No Argument The Egyptian claim*to the Sudan is so entirelv indefensible that it is hardly worth arguing. A claim ba ; ed : on conquest coming from people in | revolt against a mild foreign occuI pat ion shows that, whatever intel'lectua! qualities the ruling Egyptian : possesses, a sense of honor is not to be found amongst them. And 'ho | claim, such as it Is, cannot be sub- ! stantiated The conquest was due to British leadership. B ‘isb quipmem. British orgat h-a'a-n and British valor.

It represents a sum of money left by Henry C. Long, former lumber dealer, who provided in his will that the money be used for erecting a statue of Abraham Lincoln in University Square. This was in 1900. His will made it payable to the city of Indianapolis. “But we have never been able to find just who the “city” is, "said George -V. Buskirk, manager of the probate department of the Union Trust. Company, where the SIO,OOO is nestled away. “The common council has never specified.” Law requires that such bequests be turned over to a specific, board. city park board officials said the will provided that the statue he at the southeast corner of University Square, and nowhere else. This site is now in the “War Memorial Plaza.” Park officials said they did not believe the memorial commission would permit e. c tion of the statue at this point. Officials said the will must be broken by legal action if the city would obi iln the money interest will be determined by court Buskirk said. Meanwhile the city waits for its slii,oi>o.

HEALTH’S VALUE PROVEN Tuberculosis Head Cites Annual Loss I Caused by Sickness. State Senator C. O. Holmes of Gary, Ind., president Indiana Tuberculosis Association, estimates an average of seven days a year is lost by each worker in the United States on account of sickness. Pub- j lie health has a cash value, he said, i “If each of the 40,000,000 working! men and women in our county last j year lost seven days because of ill • ness, an equivalent of 280,000,000 I work days would be lost,” Holmes j said. "Suppose each of these per- j sons earned on an average of $3 a j day, total loss annually would ag- \ Seagate $840,000,000,” he said. Certain industrial concerns and communities have demonstrated that front 75 to 9o per cent of this illness can be reduced, he said.
