BRITISH AFFAIRS
LONDON. Nov. 21. (By the A530.
outed Pres).—Although British of-
ficial circles decline to comment upon
the termination of negotiations with
the. Egyptian delegation until Adly
Yeghen Pasha. head of the delegatiox..'
reparts to the sultan, it was learned
authoritatively today that the delega-
tion departed for Cairo last Saint-dai-
convinced of its failure and antic loat-
itLg the return of unrest ar d internal
disorders in Egypt. _
The reason tor‘the failure to obtain
self-government for Egypt. is .1. ‘riiied
by some critics to unwillingness of the
Foreign Office to carry out the recollh
mendatlons made last Feflbruan‘ by
Lorri Milner..former Colonial Secre-
tary. Who urged: in a report to E’ar-
liament that “the promise of self—
government can not be postponed}
The London press generally attri-
butes the breakdown in the negotia-
tions to the. question of British mili.
tary representation. but the agitation
viewpoint is stated as being favorable
to British supervision of the Suez Can-
:11 zone and that an agreement would
be possible regarding British. militant.
authority in parts of the country.
The question rwhich produced the
dead lock in the negotiations In un-
derstoodto have that of diplomatic
representation abroad and of Egypt’s
desire to have Similar representatives
appointed to that country from for-
sign countries . “
