The Seaforth News, 1926-06-10, Page 6P 'Lf lA AS SITUATION LESS TENSE-
FOLLOWING RETIREMENT OF ZAGHLOUL
London.—Former Premier .Zaghloul
Pasha, Egyptian Nationalist leader,
has decided not to form a government`
in Egypt himself, and this -announce-
tient from Cairo considerably relieves
the tension felt in Government quar-
ters here,
An extremely grave view of the
Egyptian political Situation has been
taken since Zaghloul's victory in the
recent elections.
The Nationalist leader's decision is
interpreted here as a direct result of
strong pressure wriich the British Gov_
ernment beet/gist to bear on him
through Loyd Lloyd, High Commie
sioner in Egypt, This pressure was.
backed by despatch of a battleship
from Malta to Egypt and the ae-
nouncement that others are held there
in readiness to follow at a moment's
notice, •
The situation is complicated by the
resignation. of J'ud'ge Kershaw, presi-
dent of the Cairo Assize ,Court, in
protest against the acquittal of six, or'
seven men tried for the assassination j
in 1924 of Sir Lee ,Stack, Sirdar of
the Egyptian Army.. He particularly
objected to the acquittal of four of th
q o e
six. He voted against it, but was over-!
ridden by his two Egyptian colleagues
on the bench. ,
The note to Lord Lloyd explains
that in view of Judge Kershaw's
known impartiality and fairness, the
British Government cannot consider
the trial 'proof of the innocence of`the
accused nor satisfactory guarantee of
the safety of foreignere,inEgypt, 'for
which Great Bi.itaiin has made herself
,responsible, The British consequently
reserve full liberty of action.
Even the political crisis is not -end-
ed by -Zaghloul's decision. Assuming
the more moderate Adly Pasha forms
government it remains to be seen
whether be will. -be able to hold in
check the Zaghloulist party in the!
Chamber of Deputies and the country.
_In any ;case, however, the British
are determined to hold to the four
-reserved paints in the Anglo-Egyptian
"agreement"
1. Retention 'of the Sudan;
2. Maintenance of a garrison in
Egypt for protection of the Suez
Canal;
8, Protection of Egypt against for-
eign aggression, and
4, Protection of foreign interests
and citizens in Egypt,
Zaghloul has always refused to ad-
mit these four reservations to com-
plete Egyptian independence.

London. A notable anniversary in
the history of the Hudaons Bay Com-

a praoti'cal way. On June 3rd, 1668,
a little vessel, "Nonsuch," set sail from
Gravesend for Canada with' 50'tons
of cargo on a voyage which, as pointed
out by the governor of the company,!
Chas. V. Sale, not only marked the
inception of the Hudsons Bay Coln- i
pany, but also laid the foundation ofd
the great Dominion of Canada, the
keystone of the Empire, stretching
from sea to sea.
On Thursday, on the 258th anniver-
sary, a new steamer, the "Bay Rup-
ert," with a carrying capacity of 3,690
tons, left Gravesend on her maiden
voyage to Canada.

Dr: J_ennee, who has been in the ser-

His researches took him from: Cape
Barrow to Coronation -Gulf, and it is
to seek traces -of the migration -of the
natives from Asia that he is heading
the present expedition for Canada. He
is inclined to the belief that following
a .migration from Asia across Bering

may have been a return migration to
Asia at a later period.

the sign of the cross on the Princess's
forehead, The baby, who had been
perfectly quiet up to now during her
first ceremony, gave a little squeal
when the Primate sprinkled' water on
her brow, recitingthe words "In token
that hereafter she shall not be asham-
ed to confess the faith of Christ cruel
fied."

London.—After thirty-three days of
complete stoppage in. the coal mines,
the owners annownced they have asked
the miners' leaders for a small, pri-
vate, informal conference to see whe-
ther more formal peace negotiations
could not be resumed with a prospect
of success.
The invitation, contained in a letter
from Evan Williams, chairman of the.
Mining Association,' to I3erbert Smith,
president of the Miners' Federation,is
the first hopeof a settlement reached
in the industry itself sincethe strike
began.
Normally such a communication
would have been sent to A J. Cook,
the miners' belligerent secretary. As
it is, Cook will tape the letter to
Smith, now attending, with other min-
ers' leaders, a Brussels meeting of tho
International Miners' Federation. No-
thing is: likely to happen until they
return Saturday.
It is understood the mine owners
have in mind the holding of a small
conference of a few leaders `from each
side. This conference would be pre-
sided over by a neutral mediator., not
an arbitrator, to which the ruiners
strongly object.
Labor's , organ, the Daily 'Herald,
attributes the owners' new move to
strong pressure from big business-
manufacturers—reinforced by the
great banks. These are understood to
have pointed out to the owners that
in order to obtain renewed Govern-
ment financial aid for the coal indus-
try, itis essential for the disputants
to come to terms or atleast arrange
a tentative peace program.

Message to Social Workers.
AddressingtheAnnual Convention
of the Children's Aid Societies of On-
tario recently held at the Parliament
Buildings, Toronto, Mr. J. J. Kelso
gave_ social workers the following
message: Keep warm in your heart
the real spirit of sympathy and good
will for thepoor, the distressedrthe
erring, for we can accomplish more of
permanent good by a friendly forgiv-
ing attitude than we can ever hope for
through employing the machinery of
law. Officialdom—follevring blindly a
set formula -hardens and deadens,
but love restores and makes alive,
and this alone gives infilience and
power in philanthropic as in Christian
work.
'Our guiding principle should be to
overcome evil with good, to substitute
reformation for punishment, to ,lir-
prove qchange 'environment, re re-
store self-respect and the- sense of
responsibility, to awaken in dormant
hearts a real desire for better and
nobler living. Such a policy animating,.
all our actions will"surely be produc-
tive of Iasting results, and give to the
worker a joy and satisfaction in ser-
vice that will compensate for all the
failures and disappointments that are
more or less inevitable in spite of our
best efforts.
