(AP) The stern note which Great Britain sent to Egypt stating in effect that the British will not grant full In dependence to that country at pres ent " has been coupled with the , "holy war" In Arabia to create a situation which may affect. British relations throughout the near East to the borders of India. Dispatches tonight from Egypt assert that tht' political situation there is fraught with confusion, uncertainty and excitement. Egypt is without a cabinet but the na tionalist leader, Nahas Pasha, aft er an hour's audience with King Fuad, declared that constitutional governments would be formed as long as the constitution exists. The British note, which appar ently dropped like a bombshell in Cairo political circles" after the breakdown of negotiations for an Anglo-Egyptian alliance, makes it clear to the Nile country that Great Britain will not tolerate any legislation that la likely to hinder English power in protecting for eign life and property in Egypt The note reveals that the British government for some time has f eared t such legislation would be adopted by the Egyptian parlia ment. So long as: there was pros pect of a treaty of alliance, howev er, Britain refrained from express ing these fears. Well informed British observers believe that the home government now has said Its final word and that the burden of the next move in the imbroglio rests on Egypt. RAMSEY SEEKS OFFICE Recent W. U.
