brought with him a copy of a letter addressed to the King by his Ministers, informing
His Majesty that, in view of the assurances he had received from myself to the effect
that His Majesty s Government had no wish to call into question either the rights of
Egypt in the Soudan or their rights to the waters of the Nile, the Prime Minister and
his colleagues had agreed to the insertion in the Constitution of two articles in the form
already stated. A copy of this letter is enclosed herein.
On the receipt of these communications from the Grand Chamberlain, I despatched

Field-Marshal Viscount Allenby to King Fuad.
Cairo, February 2, 1923.
1AM directed by the Marquess Curzon of Kedleston to present to your Majesty
the documents annexed hereto and numbered respectively 1 and 2
1 need not dilate to your Majesty upon the grave nature of the first of these two
communications. I earnestly hope that your Majesty and your Majesty’s Government
will not persist in an attitude of which so serious a view is taken by the British
Government, and will see your way to authorise me without any delay to give the
necessary assurances to ilis Britannic Majesty’s Government. The form in which His
Britannic Majesty s Government invites your Majesty to give these assurances is set
forth in Annex No. 2, which I am to ask your Majesty to sign. Should your Majesty
fail, after consideration, to affix your signature to this second document, my instructions
are that the essential parts of the first document are to be forthwith published. What
further action His Britannic Majesty’s Government may take in this case I shall not
endeavour to anticipate, but I venture to call your Majesty’s attention to the last
paragraph of Annex No. 1.
Annex No. 1 to Enclosure 1.
HIS Britannic Majesty’s Government will not recognise the assumption by His
Majesty the King of Egypt of the title of King of the Soudan, and, should His
Majesty assume it, they will so inform foreign Governments.
His Britannic Majesty’s Government will regard such an act on the part of His
Majesty the King of Egypt not only as discourteous to His Britannic Majesty’s
Government, but as an unfriendly act, constituting a denunciation of the Agreement of
the 19th January, 1899, and a repudiation of the Declaration of the 28th February,
1922. His Britannic Majesty's Government will consider themselves at liberty to
review their position in both these respects.
A bile repudiating any act on the part of the Egyptian Government which in their
judgment is contrary to the Agreement of January 1899 or the Declaration of
February 1922, His Britannic Majesty’s Government wish it to be clearly understood
that they have not the least intention of interfering with the full rights of Egypt to
the waters of the Nile.
His Britannic Majesty’s Government are at a loss to understand the reasons for
which the Government of His Majesty the King of Egypt can have contemplated
making use of the Constitution as a means of forestalling future negotiations on the
subject of the Soudan, and thus bringing His Britannic Majesty’s Government into an
unwelcome attitude of apparent opposition to the restoration of representative
institutions in Egypt, on the faith and in the expectation of which the protectorate was
abolished.
It is evident that His Britannic Majesty’s Government, having abolished the
protectorate chiefly with the object of giving satisfaction to the aspirations of the
Egyptian people, cannot view with approval continued delay in the establishment of
the constitutional liberties which have been promised, a delav which involves the
