and the beginnings of British policy 87 that day when Sudan is free of any Egyptian official except for the military lawyers whose expenses Egypt pays. For all these reasons, we demand the return of Sudan to the fold of its greater homeland, "Egypt," in accordance with right and justice. In the report of Lord Milner When Lord Milner submitted his memorandum to the Egyptian delegation on August 8, 1920, he did not mention Sudan in this memorandum. As stated in the report, Adly Pasha made his observation on this memorandum and informed Lord Milner that it was devoid of any mention of Sudan, and that the issue was vital to Egypt. So Lord Milner sent the following letter to Adly Pasha: Dear Pasha, Regarding the conversation we had yesterday, I reiterate that there is no part of the memorandum I am sending you now that is intended to apply to Sudan, as is evident from the memorandum itself. However, to avoid any error and misunderstanding in the future, it would be best for us to record the Committee's opinion that the subject of Sudan, which we, Zaghloul Pasha, and his companions have never discussed, is entirely outside the scope of the intended agreement for Egypt. The two countries differ greatly in their circumstances, and we believe that the discussion of each should be conducted differently from the discussion of the other.

Sudan has made great progress under its current administration, based on the provisions of the agreement of 1899. In this case, no change in Egypt's political situation should be allowed to disrupt the expansion of Sudan's progress and its welfare under a system that has produced such good results.
