The Egyptian Minister (Hassan) to the Secretary of State
Sir: Acting upon instructions of my Government, I have the honour to transmit to you the following note: [Page 465]
“The Egyptian Government has been following with keen interest the development of study and exchange of views taking place between the American and the British Governments pertaining to the plans of future civil aviation. This question which is so important to the future of the world, is doubly so for Egypt because of her geographical Edition and the presence on her soil of important aerodromes. The Egyptian Government, is therefore confident that nothing touching upon its direct or indirect interests and rights will be decided upon without its concurrence and that Egypt will be invited to take part in the deliberations of any future conference that might be held for the discussion of this question in so far as it would affect, in any way, the interests of Egypt.”
