ABSTRACT
The recognition of the independence of Egypt “ with reservations ” has fundamentally changed the basic principles which underlay the relations between England and Egypt when the Condominium was conceived. Egypt now lays claim to the Sudan. The present partnership is gall to the statesmen and publicists who speak for Egypt in Parliament and in the Press. England refuses to agree to a dissolution of the firm of George and Fuad except upon the condition that its great asset, the Black Country, be transferred to Great Britain. London takes the position that the junior partner’s apparent desire to dissolve the old relationship is no reason why England should retire from a country with whose history the names of so many of her sons are inseparably connected.
