Here is a country granting us a loan without asking anything in return. Any other country would have demanded all sorts of privileges. Britain asked nothing. She trusted us as she would a real friend. Britain showed she has faith in us. We will...
...Died. Tewfik ("success") Nessim Pasha, 64, three times Egypt's Prime Minister; of heart disease; in Cairo.

Next thing Dr. Aras knew Turkey had failed at Geneva, even with the aid of Comrade Litvinoff, to be re-elected to the League Council...
Cylindrical red fezzes on their heads, Premier Mustafa El Nahas Pasha of Egypt and nine other Egyptian delegates marched down the aisle of the League of Nations' new Geneva palace last week to bow stiffly before Turkish Foreign Minister Dr. Tewfik Rushtu Aras, temporary President of the League Assembly.
