and the British political ambitions 155 and the governors, etc. The Egyptians have nothing from all of this except some lowly clerical positions.

This is a census of the number of British officers and the number of Egyptian officers and their ranks: Egyptian | British | Rank ---|---|---1 | 1 | Liwa 9 | 12 | Amir al-lay 8 | 20 | Qaimaqam 28 | 41 | Bakbashy 73 | 105 | 229 | 119 The numbers are clear from every statement, and the numbers indicate that the number of British officers is double the number of national officers. These foreign officers are an army of translators who take tens of thousands of pounds from the Egyptian treasury to pay them. What is the meaning of using these translators when the English take exams in Arabic, and those who pass receive exorbitant financial rewards? If they have mastered the exam, they undoubtedly know how to conduct their business in Arabic, so there is no need for translators. If they do not master some of the Arabic language to conduct their business, what is the reason for these exams and financial rewards?

Among the laughable things that have recently happened is that a group has appeared to withdraw from the army under the pretext of making way for the promotion of national officers, in the following manner: The Commander-in-Chief of the Army in Egypt until the end of 1923 was a British officer with the rank of Liwa, followed by two Egyptian officers as Chiefs of Staff. This commander has recently been appointed to the position of Inspector-General of the Egyptian Army in Egypt, and under his command are an Egyptian Chief of Staff and a British Bakbashy for the Egyptian soldiers.
