ANGLO-EGYPTIAN CRISIS AVERTED BRITISH BATTLESHIPS CALLED BY ORDER RE. .Native Legislature Backs Down Completely On Issue of As- , semblies inn LONDON. May 2.(AP). The Anglo-Egyptian . crisis Is ended and orders to the British fleet to proceed to Alexandria have been countermanded. The question at issue between the two govern ments was the public assemblies bill, already passed by the Egyp tian chamber and before the sen ate. This measure , would permit assemblies In public places with out police interference unless ac tual disorders occurred. : ! Great Britain demanded the withdrawal of this bill, deliver ing an ultimatum to Nahas Pasha, the Egyptian; premier, setting-. a time limit of three days expiring tonight for .eomplmaee. The Egyptian government post poned action on the bill until next November and explained the dif ficulties of. Interfering with the legislature In such matters but ex pressed the conviction that - an amicable settlement would "be reached. The British note warned that if the assemblies bill is revived or new 'measure introduced with the same dangerous features, the British government will be obliged to intervene again to pre vent their enactment. Despite the turnings of extrem ists In Cairo It Is believed that lit tle more will be heard of the as semblies bill there. Egypt's reply to the ultimatum was a long doc ument, the gist of which was an argument that the constitutional government had no power to viol ate constitutional principles by withdrawing a bill approved by parliament but that in Its ardent desire to reach an understanding the senate had consented to poet- pone action on the measure. -v L0CKHART, BETTS NAMED Secretary and Second Vice Presi dent Complete W.
