Anglo-Egyptian Crisis THERE are two outstanding issues 'involved in the abrogation of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty. First, the right which Britain enjoys under it to maintain up .to 10,000 troops and 400 airmen with ancillary personnel in the Suez Canal zone. Secondly, the future of the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan which is the simpler. Since 18!!, the Sudan has been administered under an Anglo-Egyptian condominium. It is now the Egyptian demand that the Sudan shall be united with Egypt under the Egyptian crown. The United Kingdom government continues to insist, as it has insisted for a long- time, that the future of the Sudan must be decided by the Sudanese themselves after their attainment of the full self-government to which they are rapidly being brought. The U.K.. government has promised this to the people of the-Sudan and is not ready to compromise its word. The right w hich Britain enjoys of stationing a small force for the defence of the canal zone was granted at a time when Egypt had reason to fear tatlon b.'en along normal lines- . i npr tt'hn u'r fined n ennl SHIln for Films DevHooed nd ' PROMPT SKRvia ,,.,:M'!:'Brt, anuoyeu wiui uiry piaseu a tea- And no how . much murn . . lu tne time we preisnu --- " ,' . ... , . 7. ----- longer would this ne ..te 4nn?

She recognizes this today. Her foreign minister admitted it recently. But today, although most people would feel that the dangt-r of aggression was as great as in VJM, Egyptian nationalism apparently demand the withdrawal of British troops on the grounds that they detract from her sovereignty. The position for the moment is that the British government considers the proposed Egyptian legislation for abrogation of the 1936 treaty and the 18W agreements on the Sudan as being illegal and therefore null and void. In this, the government is supported fully by the United States. In neither of these treaties or agreements is there any provision for unilateral abrogation. Provision was made that the 1!J;,T) treaty, in which the Sudan agreements were leaf firmed', could be revised after ten years if both parties agreed to negotiations. After 20 years that is, in 1956 negotiations for revision would be held at the request of either party. ! centres around what should i" 'hem.

The royal tour, indeed, appears to be eclipsing the interest in materially and politically more important things. It tempers the seriousness with which, otherwise, we would be viewing such disconcerting events as those which are occurring in the Middle East today. Even the Korean situation, where there are better signs now than ever of real peace, is relegated. And maybe it is a good thing for us that we should be pleasantly stirred with sentiment and affection for the lovely heiress-apparent and her handsome consort. It brings a note of cheefulness, goodwill and symbolism which is so generally lacking in these anxious and tense times. Not many Prince Rupert people will be able to get off to the lower coast when Their Royal Highnesses are there but the wonders of the radio and . the service the press by word and picture bring them very close to us and in large measure satisfy us.
