And the ambitions of British policy 105 And they receive their salaries from the Egyptian treasury, as for the expenses of the project, the price of wheat which was contracted in England. So, can anyone on earth or in heaven tell us who is the Egyptian government that heard of the granting of 300,000 feddans in the Gezira? And when was this permission given and what was its wording? Or is this considered a danger of secret estimations?? And if the government approved this declaration, by what authority did it approve it?? Rather, who are the Egyptian engineers who are supervising the project and are responsible to the Egyptian government?? This word is not intended, in reality, except to burden the huge salaries that the Egyptian government treasury pays to those engineers who correspond with the English Undersecretary of Public Works, and the national Egyptian ministry knows nothing about them. They say that the works for which water is taken for three hundred thousand feddans are funded from the loan contracted in England, and they forgot and deliberately omitted to say that Egypt spends a part of the money on this project as if Egypt's money was easy to digest and eat. As for the money of its equal, it is recorded as a debt on Sudan without Egypt's knowledge. Egypt has lent money to Sudan since its restoration, deliberately, and the blood of its sons until today. So why was the agreement on these works not from Egypt's loans?? And why are Egypt's loans not counted alongside this loan? Rather, what is the value of seven million pounds, which is an "English loan," compared to what Egypt has spent in the past, what it is spending now, and what it will spend in the future?? Or is it a search for what Ridley said: that Egypt spends from its treasury and its currency "to care for the water." It is composed of Englishmen alone, without a partner, and what was the reason he was calling for spending money for prosperity, and Sudan does not cultivate nor is it irrigated permanently except for 13,000 feddans?? 14
