Home Again

Egypt's Premier, Saad Zaghlul Pasha, arrived at Alexandria on his return from Britain (TIME, Oct. 6 et seq). He was forced to admit that he had returned emptyhanded; that he had been able to achieve neither Egypt's nor the Sudan's complete independence from Great Britain.

His request for independence, said he, "had been refused without proof or justification." He exhorted the Egyptians to remain faithful to "complete independence for Egypt and the Sudan." "We will never admit," he concluded, "nor will those who come after us, that a single foreign soldier shall remain on Egyptian soil."
