NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENT EVENTS Egypt Likely to Lose Her > ^dependence Because of the Murder of Stack. ?y EDWARD W. PICKARD POtPTIAN nutlonallsts who assa* ?ln*'ed Gen- Sir Lee Stack, sirdar of the Egyptian army and governor general of the Sudan, brought ahotit a crisis tor their country and de&rlved It of much of the limited liberty that had been granted It by Great Britain. LoM Allenbjv British high conimls. el oner, promptly presented to the Egyptian government an ultimatum from London and British sea force* 2.0V,ns tow?rd the land of the Nile. The note from the British re quired that jhe Egyptian government ?uoulq: 1. Present ample apology for the crime. 2. Bring the criminals, whoever they are or whatever their age, to condign punishment. S. Henceforth forbid and vigorously suppress all popular political demon strations. 4. Pay forthwith to his majesty's government ii500.000 ($2^00,000). 8. Order within twenty-four hours the withdrawal from the Sudan of ail Egyptian officers and purely Egyptian units of the Egyptian army. competent department tfiftt the. Sudan government will in crease the area to be Irrigated at Ge xlra from 800,000 fed dang to an on limited figure as the need may arise. 7. Withdraw all opposition in re spect, hereafter specified, to the wishes of his .majesty's government concerning protection of foreign inter e?ta Jn Egypt. > The two last demands were the hardest for the Egyptians to accept and Premier Zagloul Pasha rejected them, yielding to the others. The in w!~Hy W." paW Qt oace ?nd 'he Egyptian troops began withdrawing from the Sudan. Then Zagloul re signed and was succeeded by Ahmed Who forn,ed ? moderate ministry. Meanwhile the British had a ^VSt0m8 nt ^WMndrla and followed this up with Impressive parades of troops through thpt city and Cairo. The British cabinet held up further measures to give Zlwar a chance, and London believed therfe was no danger of serious trouble, for the population of Egypt seemed quiet. The Egyptian chamber of deputies protested to all countries of the world and to the League of Nations, and for a few dnys the French talked excited ly of laying the nfTalr before the league, but It was quite evident tl.nt Premier Baldwin and Foreign Mini* ter Chamberlain had laid out their course and would not be diverted. The Laborltes in England and in milder degree the Liberals attacked the gov ernment for what they termed Its brutnllty and oppression, and It was generally believed the result would be tho resumption of the British pro tectorate over Egypt. At least, the Egyptians have lost all chance of en forcing their claims for Joint control of the Sudan, and also the British will now be free to divert all the Nile wa ter they desire for the Sudanese cot ton fields through the Qeiira Irriga tion project. The British ministers strongly resent the obvious 'compari son of their action with that ?if Aus tria after the Sarajevo assassination, pointing oot that they have only put Into operation powers that were ex pressly reserved In the grant of Inde pendence to Egypt. They assert the afTnlr I* not the business of the I-engue of Nations, since Egypt Is not n member of the league. OECRETARY WILBTO In hi* an nual report sets forth a lot of facts Qnd figures that are discourag ing to those who believe In having the nation In a state of preparedness to resist Attack hy n foreign foe. Mr Wilbur declare* that owing to the nig gardly policy of congrps* In thp mat- j ter of appropriations for repairs and replar ements. the navy Is stendllr nnd r*pl<fly deteriorating; that the ships and their machinery are wearing out faRter than they can be renewed, and thnt thlH condition has been responsi ble for numerous accidents. Of the eighteen battleships we retain under the Washington treaty, six are so anti quated and out of condition that they cannot take part in fleet operations. Those vessels, he says, must be mod ernized If our ratio of naval strength Is to be maintained. Our navy also Is outranged by the guns of the British and some of the guile of the Japanese navy. That, however, is due not to the attitude of congress, but to the refusal of the ad ministration to permit elevation^ of our guns in the face ot the British view that such procedure would be a violation of the treaty. '< There Is a shortage of officers and men properly to roafi the ships. The enlisted personnel Is limited to 80,000. Though officers are needed, congress has reduced the capacity of Annapolis to turn out officers by limiting appoint ments of cadets to three Instead of five for each senator and representa. tlve. It la costing $70,000,000 to scrap the ships we are obligated by the treaty to destroy. One of the vessels In this class was the partly completed dread naught Washington, the hull of which has Just been Bunk off the Virginia cape* where it was made the target of ships and bombing planes. It with stood the shells for several days, and the navy officiate Intimate that much was learned In the process of destruc tion. rj TJ -8, OUR huge German-built ^ ^ dirigible, sailed from Lake hurst down to Washington last week and, settling down on the landing field of the Anacostln naval air station, was christened "Los Angeles" by Mrs. Coolldge while a big flock of homing pigeons was released from Its cmbtns. The airship was then formally placed In commission by Rear Admiral Ben jamin F. Hutchinson and made Its way serenely back to Lakehurst. IN PURSUANCE- of Its determina tion to settle the question of publi cation of income tax returns, and probably to expedite the repeal of the publicity clause of the law the De partment of Justice has obtain^! the Indictment of the New York Tribune company, publisher of the Herald Tribune, and also of Walter 8. Dickey, owner, and Ralph Ellis, managing edi tor of the Kansas City Journal-Post. It appears most likely that congress will make quick work of knocking out the publicity 'clause, for Senator Pat Harrison saya he favors Its repeal,' and some other Democratic leaders are known to agTee with him. TUAN CHI-JUI, Anfu leader, Is n<*v both premier and dictator of ' Chlnn, having been Installed at the | head of the new provisional govern ment In Peking by Chung Tso-lln. The government Is regarded as conserva tive nnil hits strong hopes of harmon izing the Mukden ami Yangtse fac tions. At Chang's request none of his adherents Is In the" cabinet, and none of Feng's men Included. Indeed, 'he elimination of Feng Is complete. He announced that he would resign his command and retire from the army and would make a tour of America or Europe. Charging by Implication that all po litical disorders In China are caused largely by missionary education, the China Educational conference In Kal feng passed resolutions demanding close government regulation of ail In stitutions of learning operated by American and other foreign mission aries In China and that all teaching of religion by missionaries in China be stopped. OPPONENTS of President Musta pha Rental of Turkey have suc ceeded to the extent of forcing the resignation of Ismet Pasha, his pre mier; and the appointment of Fethl Be.v, who formerly held that post. In Italy, too, the opposition has scored to snme( extent, for Premier Mussolini. In order to avert a parlla- I mentary break with his friends, prom- ! Ised In the chamber of deputies to prosecute sternly the Faclstl guilty of excesses against the population, and ! nlso to moderate the utterances of the ( Fascist!, beginning with hliuself. He j apologized to parliament for the events of November 4, when Fasclstl attacked the wat ^fciterans" victory demonstration, and admitted that the country was deserting the Fasclstl. But he warned the chamber that If he were overthrown, the government would revert to the Communists. He was given a great ovation and later a. vote of confidence. v ?>-? XT/ILLIAM J. FAHY, long consld VV ered the best thief catcher among the postal Inspectors, was convicted In the Federal court In Chicago of complicity In the $2,000,000 mail rob bery at Rondout, III. James Murray, a small politician, also was found guilty. Six others implicated had con fessed. AU eight face long terms la the penitentiary. Fahy stlli Insists he was "framed" by other members of the postal inspection force. Anothtf alleged Chicago criminal has been caught and must stand trial. He Is Leo Koretz, who Is charged wltli swindling many of his friends out of sums amounting to several million dol lar* by a bogus oil land scheme. He was found In Halifax, N. 8., disguised by a full beard' and cutting quite a splurge in society with his ill-gotten money. ONCE more the American Federa tion 'of Labor voted to adhere to its long-time policy of nonpartisan shlp in politics, rejecting almost unani mously two resolutions, either of which would have committed Its mem bership to the support of a new party. The committee report against the resolutions, which was adopted, said: "Our nonpartisan political policy does not Imply that we shall Ignore the existence or attitudes of political parties. It does mean that labor pro poses to use all parties and be used by none. "Your committee unequivocally rec ommends full approval nnd (Indorse ment of the attitude and activities manifested and engaged In on the re cent 'presidential and congressional political campaign. We rejoice in the results achieved in flie congressional elections and are Inspired by the fu ture opportunities presented to Amer ica's wage earners. A . ' * "Labor having succeeded in elec tions where congress, and congress alone, was the Issue, the effort Was made in this, recent election to recon quer congress under the guise of a presidential election, declared to be of paramount Issue. Our nonpartisan po litical policy withstood the test and Issued forth triumphant with Its forces intact. The opponents having played their strongest card and hav ing failed, the future belongs to labor and progress." Samuel Gompers was elected presi dent for the forty-fourth time, and Frank Morrison was re-elected secre tary. Atlantic City, N. J., was select ed as the convention city for 1925. THERE will be at least three elec- I tlon contests for the senate to de cide In the next congress. Daniel F. Steck, Democrat, who was defeated by Senator Brookhart of Iowa by 735 votes, thinks ballots that were thrown out may give him the seat. Senator 1 Bursum of New Mexico, Republican, and Senator Magnus Johnson of Min nesota, Farmer-Labor, will contest the elections of S. C. Brutton, Democrat, and Schall, Republican, respectively.
