Abstract
IT is an unfortunate circumstance when a con troversy respecting the merits of rival schemes for Imperial development works is embittered by charges impugning the good faith of either side, and it is particularly painful when an accusation of this kind is levelled by a Government official of high standing and repute against his colleagues in the Department with which he was formerly associated. We do not propose to discuss the ethical question (it has already been the subject of inquiry by a Foreign Office Committee), but it is unavoidable to mention it as indicating the ground upon which Sir William Willcocks has published his brochure on “The Nile Projects” and the acutely critical spirit in which it is written.
