Sudan-Egyptian Unity Agreement Reported

Cairo, Oct. 29 (UP)-Britain and Egypt have agreed on unity of Egypt and the Sudan under thu Egyptian Crown providing the present system of Anglo- Egyptian government continues until such time as the Sudanese are ready to determine their own future, according to sources close to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Top-ranking sources believed this Information would bridge the gap created by the Egyptian press incom- plete reports and Prime Minister All- Jee's House of Commons declaration. The

sources pointed out that both. Mr Attlee's and the Egyptian press reports were true but incomplete and that the mlaundernfanding arose be- cause of the missing lines.

The text of the allegedly completo draft of tile section of the agreement dealing with the alsputed question of the Sudan follows: "The two partics (Britain and Egypt) hava

agreed on unity of Sudan under the

tho

pland

Crown on condition that the present system, based on the agreement of 1890 and Egypt the treaty of 1030 bolween and Britain, should continue for defined period until such time As the Sudanese are ready

for self- determination."

Reporters and.circles in touch with Premier Sidky Pasha wormed from him a hint that Britain has agreed in principle to unity of Egypt and the Sudan under the Egyptian Crown but did not get a full picture of the pro- posed agreement. This confirmed Mr

Attiec's

statement which, how- ever, did not clear up the misunder- standing because the British Premier refrained from giving details.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ibrahim Abul Hadi Pasha, told Egyp- Lian reporters last night that tho meetings in London had been merely talks and not negotiations.

Premier Sidky's communique after surrival in Cairo sald he had re- turned from London carrying a new formula which he planned to submit to the Egyptian delegation.
