...last week Egyptians boiled with demands that their lickspit Premier Tewfik Nessim Pasha should at least make the turning to Alexandria into Britain's main Mediterranean war base the occasion for wangling some heavy palm oil out of his and Egypt's master, Sir Miles Wedderburn Lampson. British High Commissioner to the Inde pendent Kingdom of Egypt...
...solemn Crown Prince Farouk, 15, said good-by to his four small sisters, left the royal palace at Alexandria to be trained as a British army cadet at Woolwich. Few schoolboys ever had a more impressive sendoff. At Ras-et-Tin Palace, British High Commissioner Sir Miles W. Lampson was on hand for a farewell handshake, a bit of fatherly advice.

Edward Tumour, Earl of Winterton, hoisted himself to his feet to oppose the motion. First he explained that, as foreign governments have discovered to their dismay...
...mere fact of bringing in this bill will have a bad effect abroad. It will lead people in foreign countries to think that this country is menaced by the sort of movements that are going on on the Continent. That is quite untrue. Commander Locker-Lampson has done a great service to Sir Oswald Mosley by the mere fact that this bill was brought in and by the advertisement thus given him. . . . Bill Smith of England is a very different person from August Schmidt of Germany. He won't let anybody walk over him, either in peace...
