Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Expansion of Egypt Under Anglo-Egyptian Condominium In spite of the influence of Islam, which tends to level down national aspirations, Egypt, under the process of Regeneration, has awakened to consciousness as a nation. The creators of Modern Egypt, and the master-builder, Viscount Cromer, have founded their work of reform on Equality and Justice. The development of the Nile lands now enters on a phase of expansion inseparably associated with the fortunes of the British Empire. The title given to this book sufficiently indicates its scope. Formerly, in the rampant days of Internationalism, there was a Question in Egypt as to her future destiny. That has now been answered - irrevocably - in the terms of British hegemony. But there remains a Problem, as to the means by which Egypt shall achieve her emancipation from International Control. It is a problem that may be dissociated from the direct issues of the Eastern Question, on which it impinges, because the political future of Egypt is no longer enshrouded in doubt. An inexorable law of History commits her to the protection of the leading maritime Power. The events of the last few years confirm this as the natural solution of the Egyptian Problem. The prospects of the future herald it as the highest destiny for Egypt herself Turkish suzerainty is a myth - a diplomatic fiction. International Control is now an anachronism - a tax upon freedom: blackmail, blood-money. A physician's diagnosis springs from a searching analysis of the history of a case. I, too, have been compelled to traverse the paths by which Egypt has arrived at her present position of dependence on the Mistress of the Seas. Since physical factors influence or determine political issues and results, I have based my enquiry on the principles of Geography.
