(b) Another important head of revenue is the
£E.750,000 Egyptian contribution which the
Sudan Government has received comfortably,
quarterly and In cash for the past twelve years.
The withdrawal or reduction of this contribution
now rests in the sole discretion of the Egyptian
Government ’’subject to fair notice'. At the
introduction of the current Egyptian budget the
continuance of the contribution was the subject
of strong* and not unreasonable criticism. The
subject has since been freely ventilated in
the gyptian press and, the Tgyptian Government,
confronted now with the aftermath of the Anglo-
Egyptian Treaty in the form of a heavy bill for
re-armament, is considering the question of an
early reduction - as opposed to a total withdrawal
of the contribution. There are no grounds for
assuming that the present Egyptian Government will
act harshly or brusquely in this matter but a
serious loss of revenue from this source is a
contingent possibility which must be kept constantly
in mind. The subject is still suh-judice in Egypt.
All that I can say at this stage is that it appears
highly probable that this contribution will be cut
to the extent of at least £E.250,000 per annum
and at most £F.375,000 per annum in the next
Egyptian Budget, which starts next May.
(c) Sugar. This is one of our most lucrative revenue
sources. -orld prices have advanced over £2 per
ton and, on a current turnover of a little over
30,000 tons per annum, we- must accept a fall in
receipts of about ££.70,000 and we must in the
latter
