My report for 1904 was sold and distributed free of charge, with 1016 copies sold and distributed. 480 copies were sold, 442 in English and 918 in French. As for my report for 1905, 11,500 copies were sold and distributed, including 500 in Arabic, 51,750 in English, and 8,250 in French.

The translation and distribution of my Arabic report is of great importance to me. I do not expect it to be a panacea for the poison that the press of the country contains, which has been flowing through the Arabic press for the past year. Much of what is mentioned in these newspapers as established facts is often inaccurate and not without occasional manipulation and distortion. What is deduced from these alleged facts is usually a corrupt product. Indeed, what is published in these newspapers has no effect on the course of British policy, nor is it of any consequence to the wise leaders and those who are aware of the facts of the matter, whether Europeans or nationalists. But what I fear is that this is not only the case for them, but also for all those who, for whatever reason, do not have access to the truth of matters. Take, for example, the majority of Egyptians who find a way to know the truth about the current state of Egypt. In this situation, there is nothing that necessitates its concealment or that is intended to be hidden. It is not denied that, despite the progress Egypt has made in recent years, its government and administration still have shortcomings, some inherited from the past era and some from the present. It can be said that some of these are the result of the rapid progress of the country, both in ease and scope, after the reforms that took place in the last ten years. And some of them - and they are many - cannot be effectively treated except by following a consultative legislative system that matches the current needs of the country. I do not believe there is anyone who is more aware of these shortcomings than I am, nor do I have any intention of concealing them or mitigating them. But people are often ignorant of the true nature of these matters and resort to remedies that are not beneficial or cannot be used to treat them.

I know of only one reasonable and acceptable way to shed light on the truth in people's minds and to counter corrupt and harmful opinions, which is to present the correct arguments. This is what I am striving for. And these reports, as people have become more courageous in them, have become more courageous in them. The truth in people's minds has increased. The Egyptian people have realized the full difficulty of the Egyptian situation, no matter how different it may be. This is good. As for the conclusions drawn from these facts, they are subject to discussion, but they are the result of the facts. If the people of Egypt wish to know the truth about their country's affairs, I advise them to read this report.
