LORD CURZON said that on the last occasion the three following questions had
been discussed:—
1. The future location of British forces in Egypt.
2. The conduct of foreign affairs.
3. The position to be occupied by certain high British officials employed to
exercise supervision in the Departments of Justice and Finance.
On each of the previous occasions the delegation had been furnished with.a rough
formula embodying Lord Curzon’s view, which they had taken away to consider.
Lord Curzon said that he woidd now be glad to hear their views with regard to any of
these questions, in whatever order they preferred.
Adly
Pasha
An Ottoman title used after the names of certain provincial governors, high-ranking officials and military commanders.
said that he would begin with the question of the troops. He w T ould
first recall what had taken place in conversations with Lord Milner last year. The
question had been very carefully considered both from the point of view of w\ar
conditions and peace conditions. During war, they understood that Great Britain
would undertake to assist Egypt to defend her territory on the basis of an alliance
between the two countries, and that British troops would not be required for this
purpose until there was danger of war. As the basis of the system which they
envisaged was an alliance, it would seem that a certain measure of reciprocity should
be established, but, in view of the differences between the resources, &c., of the two
countries, complete reciprocity naturally could not exist. They therefore suggested
that if Great Britain were engaged in a war Egypt should grant her every assistance
and facility in her power.
