'DRIFT IN EGYPT,'
INVITES DISASTER
LONDON. Dec. 2. A icM.it on the
present Hltuallon in Kuypl lias just
been inwucd by five lneinht-i-K of par
liament Major Harry Harries'. Wil
liam I.unn, J. Lawson, J. K. Mills and
John 13. Swan, who visited the coun
try in September and October, as rep
resentatives of the Egypt iiaiiiainen
tary committee.
That the Egyptian people have the
tutlon of Ksryit." they nay In their re
port, "is it matter for tho Euyptianii
to decido and neither ot'r 113 nor lor
ur government to dictate.'.'
The Bolution .of tho Egyptian ques
tion depends, the report states, on
tho detailed application of the fol
lowing principles:
"That tho gyptian people have the
right to self-determination and com
plete iliilepl'iidencc and thdt any
treaty should, while providing neces
sary safeguards for any reasonable
Ilritish nnd other foreign interests,
not in any way prejudice that right!
"That the delegates to negotiate the
treaty on behalf of Egypt ought to be
selected by tho seleced representatives
of -tho gyptian people.
"That for the securing' of the free
election of such representatives, mar
tial law and other repressive measures
should forthwith he abolished."
Tho members recommend that the
lritlsh government advise the present
Primo Minister of Egypt that an elec
tion bo forthwith held in that coun
try. "To drift is disaster," says the report.-
"In the interests of our coun
try wo strongly advise the government
to enter at once upon . the course
noeossary to put itself into negotia
tion with representative Kyptian opin
ion in a spirit of good will. Wo ear
nestly trust that our visit may help
to bring -about a settlement in the
form of nn alliance between two free
and independent peoples."

UNABLE TO RECONCILE
(Continued from page one.)
J'.ntish lircles that the Anglo-Japanese
alliance inevitably would come
into the naval discussions if It had
not already done so. despite the ap
parent intention of the liritlsh dele
gation to press for a naval agreement
not dependent on the outcome of the
Kai' Eastern question. The naval
question is said to have been con
sidered at a conference yesterday be
tween Baron Kato und Arthur .1. liul
four. and it is regarded among the
dclegut.-s :'S entirely likely that the al
liance was one of the important ques
tions of ihir discussions.
From the Japanese there has come
fromtime to time suggestions that
Jtilo Ear Eastern question had a close
relation to the reduction of arma
ment. While tile Ear Eastern conversa
tions are referred to by all the prin
cipals as having accomplished im
portant results, it Is pointed out that
in none of the concrete questions
dealt with has hero been a binding
autl uncoiullional agreement. It is
asserted by those connected with the
conference that it would be well with
in the diplomatic possibilities for the
point of the Ear Eastern negotiations
to become so interwoven, with the na
val question as to prevent a final de
termination of the one independent of
the other.

long as no means was provided to
carry them to distant waters, tint ;
wlien airplane carriers are provided,
t lie aircraft become potential Venn,
ons ,of oftgeuno for bombardment ol
enemy cities and fortifications.
Another aspect of the attplaue car
rier problem lies In tho Am 'rican pol
icy providing for division of her fleet
for operations in two far separated
seas, the Atlantic and Pacific, even if
American obligations as to the Phil
ippines aro disregarded in tho calcu
lations. . That makes necessary,
American officers argue, airplaue car
riers for use witli each fleet. Great
P.ritain, It Is asserted has even wider
responsibilities in all the seven seas.
Britain's national life deponds on
keping tho seas open to her trade
ships and her equipment in aircraft
and carriers must be equal .to that of
any other power.
Jnpan, in the American view, Is not
similarly situated. Her navy oper
ates practically for dofensivo pur
poses, us a single unit.
The sea of Japan, which lies be
twene Japan and Korea, is suscep
tible of such defense that it would he
almost impossible of access by an
enemy fleet in war time.
For these reasons it is regarded as
certain that the. American conference
delegation will not be disposed to
concur in the Japanese proposal, of
equal tonnage in airplane carriers for
Japan.
WASHINGTON, Dec.!. (By Asso
ciated Press.) China's request lor
withdrawal of foreign troops was re
ferred to a drafting committee headed
by Eliiiu Hoot for further study at to
day's meeting of the committee on Far
Eastern and Pacific, affairs of the
Washington conference.
Discussion of tho troop question is
expected to be continued at another
meeting of tho nine powers committee
arranged for tomorrow when it also is
planned to take up the question of
special spheres of influence in China
and leased territory.

New Year's day between tho Univer
sity of Nebraska and either tho Uni
versity of Southern California or

carried on by the Native Sons of tho

WASHINGTON, Doc. 2. (Hy the
Associated Press) Negotiations over
t the naval program, according to tho
feeling in American arms conference
circles today are proceeding satisfac
torily. Tho four American delegates
meeting today went over the situation
as it stands. Afterward, it was said
that the Americans were well satisfied
I with tho turn that the naval discus
sions wore taking and were hopeful
j that the American limitation program
I would be received favorably. A more
J definite status, however, was said to
I be Improbable before next week.
To what extent the discussions over
! the naval ratio and the political proh
j leriis of the Far East may become in
' tertwined became a subject of increas-
nig speculation. The whole physical
procedure of the conference thus far
, lias contributed to absolute separation
I of the t"wo questions, and on the s.ur-
face there has been no indication of
n change. It was suggested today in
ON HOARD MARSHAL FOCH'S
SPECIAL TRAIN, EN ROUTE, Dee.
2. From a cyclonic storm in Port
land, Ore., to tluv sunshine of
Southern Oregon Marshal Foch jour
neyed in the American legion special
tiain' last night and this morning.
The marshal of Franco was in ex
cellent spirits when he arose at his
usual hour of S o'clock this morning.
Ho shaved himself, a task which ho
does not permit his orderly to per
form, but which ho does with an old
fashioned razor had tho French
breakfast of coffee and rolls and then
went to the rear platform of his ob
servation car to admire the scen
ery. ".Magnificent!" was his exclamn
tion as the train passed the Cascade
mountains, with the Willamette river
flowing close to tho tracks. Tho
first stop was a Glemlale, and the
entire population of 000 was out to
greet the marshal, who made a short
talk, telling the people how much
ho admired their country. Then he
began asking questions.
"How muny soldiers did you send
to France?" he inquired.
"Ninety-nine," replied an ex-service
man. "Five were killed."
"We revere the memories of those
five." said the marshal. Then, af
ter a pause:
"Are you prospering?"
"Yes, indeed," answered one of the
crowd. . - -
"Good," he said. "You nil look
healthy nnd happy. This I am glad
to see. The ex-survico man had a
French flag which fluttered from a
polo, and he said:
"I brought this flag back with me
from Kaint-lCmllion," he said. The
marshal smiled .and asked:
"And did you bring any of tho
wine of Saint-Emillon back with
! you?" ( Saint-Emilion is a great wine
country.)
"No," was the orestfallen response
of tho former soldier.
National Comniunder MacNider of
the American Legion Introduced Mar
shal Foch to the crowd. Mr. Mac
Nider got a rousing cheer.
At all of the small towns passed
crowds were out. The next stop was
Grunts Pass, where Uen. U. S. Grant
fought the India ns. A big crowd was
out, headed by Mum, commander of
Grants Pass Pont No. 2S,of tho Le
g'on, and O. S. lllanchard, president
of the Chamber of Commoico.
The enthusiasm felt by the peo
ple of tho west over the visit of Mnr
sl.al Foch and Commander MacNider
of the Legion was demonstrated by
the fact that numerous presents of ap
ples and other products of the coun
try were left on the train for them
during the night. At Roseburg, Ore.,
Umpqua ost, No. 16. of the Ameri
con Legion, left boxes of prunes and
apples for Marshal Foch and Com
mander MacNider. Tho memlu'rs of
