ABSTRACT
NOTE. Th e Directors transmit the accompanying Statement to the Shareholders to enable them to inform their local Members of Parliament in regard to the claims of the Company, with a view to enlisting the interest and support of their Representatives in the House of Commons when the question comes up for discussion. /
THE SETTLEMENT OF UGANDA AND
THE BRITISH EAST AFRICA COMPANY. e discussion likely to arise on the presentation of Sir Gerald Portal’s2 report to Parliament must a ect other interests than those involved in the retention of Uganda. e claims of the Imperial British East Africa Company, whose labours and capital have been mainly instrumental in acquiring the territories, cannot be ignored in any equitable settlement. e Directors therefore consider the present a favourable time to present the Company’s case to those who may desire authentic information, and who are interested in the subject.
