...Fuad combined to suppress the Wafd; Britain and the Wafd combined to clip Fuad's autocratic powers; Fuad and the Wafd combined to defy Britain. Last week the death of King Fuad cut short the deliberations of delegations of Britons and Egyptians engaged in drawing up a new Anglo-Egyptian treaty giving Egypt a few new privileges and confirming Britain's military strangle hold.

Strangely enough, the Germans cannot follow the Gallic-Anglo-Saxon logic which makes it an axiom that, of the two nations, Germany will be the aggressor.

If a reason such as was advanced then for the invasion of prostrate Germany suffices...
