EXPLANATORY NOTE ON THE DRAFT REGISTRATION OF LAN I) ORDINANCE, 1928. I The examination of the Land Law which was made for the purpose of preparing a statement of the Law for the guidance of the officers engaged in the land settlement has indicate( a number of difficulties in the present rules of the substantive laws and the •egistration of the land, and the desirability of introducing amendments befor e the settlement is carried out.

Certain of these amendments of (lie law will apply only to the operations of the land settlement; others will apply generally to the tenure of land. So far as the present Ordinance is concerned, the amendments are required for the purpose of settlement, and it is therefore stated in Clause 1 that its appli• cation is to be so limited.

Clauses 2, 3 and 4. j i It has been laid down by the Court of Appeal that where a person is registered as owner in an existing land register, another person who has been in°adverse possession of the land during the period of prescription cannot nevertheless obtain registration df his title against the registered owner. Pre• scription by the Ottoman system is not regarded as a basis of title, but operates simply to deprive the person against whom prescription has run from enforcing any rigid of action. In the settlement by which it is desired to secure a complete record'of the ownership of the land, it is necessary that if a person has been in possession of land for such period as to deprive the registered owner of his right of bringing action for recovery, he should be able to obtain registration of his right. | Two different kinds of cases have to be met:-

(1) Where the person in possession has a right which cannot be defeated by the person registered as owner or any person claiming under him..

(2) Where the person in possession is liable to have his right upset by the person who is recorded in the old register as owner or by a person claiming through him.

The former case is dealt with in Clause 2 of the draft Ordinance. The Settlement Officer is directed there to enter the name of the person in possession in the Schedule of Rights as owner of the land. The latter case is dealt with in Clauses 3 and 4 and it is prescribed in the draft that the Settlement Officer shall record in the Schedule of Bights the possessory title of the person in occupation. That title will not ripen into a title of complete ownership until a period has passed in which jrevious registered owner may take proceedings for vindication of his title.

Clause 5 of the draft Ordinance deals with the simple case where a person has been in possession of land for the prescriptive period and no other person is registered in the existing land register as an owner. In this case, although the person in possession is not under the existing law entitled to registration, provision is made that he shall be entered as owner in the Schedule of Rights, subject to his liability to pay becll misl on the unimproved value of the land as a condition of the recognition of his title.

Clauses 6 and 7 deal with thej conditions of registering land as Metruke, that is, land dedicated for the common use of all the public or inhabitants of a particular village or area. It is desirable to lay down that land is only to be recognised as of this kind in the! settlement where either there is a registered entry to support the claim to an assignment or some documentary evidence from which assignment by a competent authority may be presumed. I The case put in Clause 7 (b) is designed to cover the acts of the demar• cation committees appointed under the Forests Ordinance, 1920, who were instructed to allot areas as Metruke for villages in which State Forest Land wTas delimited. \ 1st November, 1928.

MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS Directorate of Political and Commercial Affairs. No. 1.31/1

Cairo, 6th June, 1928. Sir,

I have the honour to refer to the correspondence exchanged between His Excellency the British High Commissioner in Egypt and this Ministry on the subject of the desire expressed by you for the conclusion of a commercial agreement between Egypt and Palestine based on the most-favoured-nation clause.

I beg to inform Your Excellency, in reply, that the Egyptian Government, contemplating the early reform of their Customs system, are in favour of con• cluding with Palestine, for the present, a provisional commercial agreement, which may be denounced by either party giving three months notice.

The Egyptian Government agree in consequence, on condition of complete reciprocity, to grant most-favoured-nation treatment to agricultural and industrial produce of Palestinian origin imported into Egyptian territory, whether intended for consumption in Egypt, re-exportation or transit. This treatment shall also 'apply to Palestinian tobaccos imported into Egypt, which will enjoy the benefit of the differential tariff, on condition, however, that they are of purely Pales• tinian origin. It is understood, on the other hand, that the treatment accorded by the Egyptian Government to Sudanese products, and that accorded by the Palestine Government to Syrian products, shall be excluded from the present agreement.

The provisional arrangement will not come into force until after the assent of the Egyptian Parliament thereto, and it may be denounced by either of the contracting parties giving three months notice.

I request Your I^xcellency to be good enough to confirm your agreement on the above bases. I have, etc.

WACYF EOUTROS GHALI Minister for Foreign Affairs.
