Abstract

Mussolini Schemes for Egypt

Carlton, Leonard | January 15, 1938 issue

The article discusses the Egyptian political crises. Today, the attention of the world is riveted on events in Egypt. An eighteen-year-old king dismisses his government and unrest sweeps the land, but the ratio of royal to civil power is a domestic issue, of little importance beyond the nation's borders. The regime change not withstanding, chances are that no major shift in Egypt's international orientation is impending. Italy cannot meet the bills, equip and pay the army, extend the loans which an ambitious ruler wants. On the other hand, Cairo knows that nothing would end this desirable state of affairs more quickly than a turn towards Italy.
