ORDER reigns in Cairo — as it once reigned in Warsaw. The new Egyptian Government has agreed to the demands of the British ultimatum, and the promptness with which Lord Allenby has dealt with the situation has prevented any organized public expression of the admittedly bitter Egyptian resentment of British interference in the government of their country. We do not think that it can be seriously denied that the extremists in Zaghlul Pasha’s party were responsible for the murder of Sir Lee Stack [the British Governor General of Sudan and commander of the Egyptian Army]. We do not doubt, however, that a large majority of the Egyptian people deplore this heinous crime, but the whole nation is being punished. We still think that British prestige might have been safeguarded, and indeed greatly increased, if Mr. Baldwin had at once accepted the challenge to submit the differences between Great Britain and Egypt to the League of Nations. It is said that Egypt is a dependency of the British Empire, and that therefore the dispute is domestic and not international. But our position in Egypt is at least irregular. Our troops are not there, and never have been there, at the wish of the Egyptian people.
