There are several different ode

Formation of a committee to

(The London News Chronicles

The Ethiopian request to the
United States for permission to

United States replied, it was I'M

A proposal that the Ethiopian

WATER RIGHTS
WORRY BRITAIN
in ETHI0 PIA
Lake Tanya, in War Zone,
Supply for Her Egyptian
Inundated Area

LONDON. Oct. p. CUP.
One of Great Bntain's chief con-
Germs as the Italian invasion rolls
deeper into Ethiopia is Lake Tana,
a huge stretch of water shaped
like an inverted bottle In the
northwest part of the empire.
With an area of 1850 square
miles and a total discharge at the
outlet in normal years of about
3,500,000,000 cubic meters, the
lake is the source of the Blue Nile,
one of the chief water supplies of
Egypt and Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.
Tremendous damage to agricul-
ture in this territory could be
done by any interference with the
lake. but Britain obtained assur-
ances from Emperor Menelik of
Ethiopia in 1902 that nothing
would be done to interfere with
the waters of the Blue Nile or
Lake Tana.
What would happen if Italy
conquers Ethiopia, nobody knows.
There is the possibility that Bri-
tain might have to pay heavily to
retain any rights over the lake,
! so vital to Egypt's existence.
| Indications that Britain is fully
aware of the ticklish situation
were given as recently as last
Nav when Ethiopia invited the
British, Egyptian and Sudan gov
ernments to a conference at Adds
Ababa to conclude an agreement
on the construction of dam at
Lake Tana.
BRITAIN ASKED DELAY
Britain, however, suggested a
postponement of the conference,
being anxious to avoid any step
which might aggravate Ethiopia's
dispute with Italy.
The dam is a vital necessity to
Nile irrigation. 1t has been talk
ed about for the last SO years, and
the conference in May was to
have been the final step in all
those years of negotiation. In
fact, the Egyptian government
had already this year set aside
i21,000,000 Egyptian pounds for
irrigation projects, including the
iconstruction of the dam.
Engineers have estimated that
dam would provide a water re-
serve of from 2,700,OCs,OOO to
5,30O.O0O,OOO cubic meters over
and above the present discharge
of 3,5OO0,000.
1t is interesting to follow the
course of events since Britain OBJ
tanned rights over the lake.
In 1899, after the conquest OF
Sudan, Sir William Garstin was
sent on a special mission by the
Egyptian government to recon
inoiter the whole river basin, In
Guiding the Blue Nile right up to
Lake Tana. g..
DAM CALLED NEED
In 1904 Garstin proposed the
construction of a dam at Lake
Tana as the most urgent OF sew
eral schemes for holding up the
waters of the Nile.
In 1921, following further IN
lVeStlgaCl0n, IL was eSlllheAISN llal
the dam would cost S11. 5OO,OOC
with another $5,000,0O0 for road
construction.
| In the meantime, 1902, MeneliE
had agreed "that there is to be ne
interference with the waters Of
the Blue Nile and Lake Tana eX
cept in consultation with the Brit
ish government and the Sudar
government. That in connection
with any such interference, al
other conditions being equal. pref
erence will be given to the pro
posals of the British and Sudan
governments, and the Empero
Menelik has no intention of CIV
: ing any concessions that relate t.
the Blue Nile ad Lake Tana eN
