Cairo, Aug. 27.
Sir Miles Lampson, British Ambassador to Egypt, broadcasting here today on the occasion of the 4th anniversary of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty said: "All we expect from Egypt is the loyal fulfilment of her treaty obligations, we are determined to loyally defend our Ally, and wit her cooperation we are sure of success.
"All thinking Egyptians realize that their interest in the war is identical with ours as they cannot contemplate a victory of the Axis powers with anything but abhorrence. We know that we are fighting against oppress sion and injustice, this gives us an inflexible determination to-go on and combat the foul evils which are besetting the world.
"We will shirk no sacrifice until they are destroyed, and the foundations laid of a new order," Sir Miles concluded.
Hafez Afin Pasha who also broad-east declared: "If Britain had not been in Egypt we should have been invaded at the same time as Abyssinia or Tripoli. Britain is fighting for the freedom and peace of all small nations. The destiny of Egypt is involved. Egypt will not hesitate, if need be, to use her army for defence. A victory for the Axis powers would mean the enslavement of Egypt whereas a victory for Britain would save the world from a nightmare."—
