agreed and he understood that Dr. Ali Bedri had been deputed by them to move
the vote of thanks. „ , ,. .
Dr Ali Bedri said he begged to be allowed to propose a vote ot thanks to
the British Government for the grant of £2 million which they had announced
their intention of making to the Sudan. The Sudanese had followed with
interest the lively debate which had recently been conducted in the British House
of Commons on the subject. It had enabled them to realise more than ever that
British public opinion had recognised the part which the Sudan had played in
the war, by providing both men and material for the support of the democratic
nations of the world. ^ , i A
They were confidently hopeful therefore that this material help would also
be accompanied by the more helpful moral support which the Sudanese required m
their efforts to achieve before long all their national aspirations.
Mekki Effendi Abbas said it gave him great pleasure to second the motion
made by his friend Dr. Ali Bedri. He wished to mention how pleased he was at
the spirit in which the Members of Parliament, particularly those who were
friends of the Sudan, had recognised the services rendered by the Sudan to the
Allies. He hoped that the interest so displayed would long continue.
The motion was then put to the vote and passed unanimously.
