SIR MILNE CHEETEAM appeared as witness and in reply to a
question of the Chairman, stated that he had road Lord
Edward Cecils Memorandum, which in his opinion did not
prove sufficient reason for a change in the system of
dealing with Egyptian affairs. He felt in this matter
as he had felt in the discussion of the advantages of
Protectorate as against the Policy of Annexation that
the present arrangement had at least the merit of
leaving a chanoe of change when this became more
demonstrably necessary. He was against stronger con
trol v/hich would reduce the prestige of the High
Commissioner in the eyes of Egyptian Ministers and
generally.
LORD CURZON explained that what Lord Edward Cecil had
meant had been not so much stronger control as greater
attention to Egyptian affairs.
