ABSTRACT
It was when he was returning from London to Cairo that Wacyf Boutros Ghali Pasha put his views into concrete shape. He lingered for a few days in Paris, his second home, and spoke fully and freely to a reporter of the Journal des Debats. His argument is put forth in the form of an interview published on 16th May, 1930. It reads, however, more like an article than a conversation. Its language is not only measured, but the presentation of the Egyptian point of view is set forth with such a wealth of citations, such a logical sequence that if this compte rendu be what it claims to be, and not a prepared statement, it is one of the most brilliant journalistic feats ever put into print.
