§ Mr. CAPEasked the Under-Secretary a State for Foreign Affairs whether he has received the text of the manifesto in regard to which the members of the Egyptian delegation are about to be prosecuted; and, if so, the words upon which the charge is based?
Mr. HARMSWORTHI have not yet received the full text of the manifesto referred to. I understand, however, that one of the passages on which the charge is based runs as follows
The Delegation requests you (i.e., the Egyptian nation) to notify to the civilised world by all means at your disposal the expression of your anger and indignation, so as to render the British Government and present Ministry responsible for whatever the consequences this oppressive policy (i.e., treatment of Zaghloul) will have.
