BRITISH EMPIRE UNITY MENACED BY EGYPTIANS Follow Example of Irish in Demanding Complete Independence. BY MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Writer LONDON, March' 23.—British .statesmen who sighed with relief when their troubles with Ireland were settled now find themselves bang up against a bigger, more formidable Moslem Ireland—the land of Egypt. That is the meaning of the rejection by the Egyptian government of the proposed treaty of alliance and friendship between Great Britain and Egypt. The parallel between Ireland and Egypt in many respects is striking. Great Britain sat in Ireland with her armies for centuries. Great Britain has been sitting in Egypt for forty-four years. Great Britain asserted she could not tolerate a totally free and independent Ireland, because of the danger of Ireland uniting with a hostile power in time of war. She asserts she can not permit an independent Egypt because in time of war she might find menaced one of her greatest arteries of empire—the Suez canal, a link in the shortest way to India and Malaysia and a good route to Australia and New Zealand. The Irish in their fight for independence formed - the Sinn Fein. The Egyptians in their fight for independence formed the Wafd. Britain finally gave Ireland self-

government, retaining for hex-self the foreign treaty-making powers. In Egypt something of the same sort was tried. The first effort has failed. After long dominating Egyptian affairs, Great Britain declared a protectorate over Egypt at the outset of the World War. In 1922 the protectorate was abolished and Egypt recognized as an independent country under King Fuad, subject to four reservations.

A miniature royal guard is little Nick Georgopulos, 3, son of Mr. and I Mrs. George Georgopulos, 1041 E. Vermont St. Young Nick is shown here is an exact reproduction of the national costume worn by the soldiers in the service of both the old monarchy and the present Greek republic. Nick’s father sent to Greece for the tiny costume for his son, so that Nick, too, could wear the same sort of uniform that his father had worn years ago when he was in the royal guard. Way back through the years, through many reigns of different kings, Nick's ancestors have worn uniforms like this. The under uniform is heavy white linen and silk, with a pleated kilt. The red velvet bolero is embroidered with gold thread. A red cap, with a jaunty blue tassel and a blue white belt complete the gay costume. Nick’s sturdy feet and legs are clothed with soft white woolen stockings and red leather shoes with large blue and white pompoms. British empire’s communications, defense of Egypt against aggression, | and protection of foreign interests j in Egypt and the Soudan. The treaty just received by Cairo | was intended to translate these res- ; ervations into a permanent agree- j ment. The Wafd party, with a majority I in the Egyptian parliament, insisted stubbornly on nothing less than j complete independence. Thereupon i Sarwat Pasha, the Egyptian premier. had to reject the treaty, toward which he was favorably in- j dined, and resign his job. Anew cabinet probably will be j equally helpless. The Wafd will not j permit ratification of the treaty, j And England will not recede.
