2. Scheme of Irrigation. So also did the two American Firms, one being the Foundation Company and the other the Monck-Ulen Group of Contractors. 5. Messrs. Boot were favourably placed in regard to the Road Tender but as they were lowest in the Irrigation Contract they were asked not to press their claim to the Road Contract by the Minister of Public Works. This they agreed to, being convinced that they were bound to receive the Irrigation Contract. 6. The Greek Government formed two Committees. One to consider the Technical and the other the Financial Proposals of the Irrigation Tenders. Both Committees reported unanimously in favour of the acceptance of Messrs. Boot's Tender. 7. The Minister of Communications, the Minister responsible, recommended Messrs. Boot's tender to the Cabinet. 8. The Cabinet, it is said under pressure from the American Ambassador, decided to divide the Irrigation Works between the two American Groups although Messrs. Boot's tender was in the region of £450,000 lower. 9. The Greek Government realising that a grave injustice was being done by it to Messrs. Boot proposed to give this firm further Irrigation Work in Epirus and elsewhere in Greece which would cost about £5,000,000. 10. The Minister of Finance in the meantime came to terms for both short and long dated loans of the Vardar and Road Contracts with Messrs. Hambro. 11. The Greek Minister next submitted to Parliament the terms on which the financial arrangements for the Struma-Thessaly

2. Sulama Projesi için teklif vermiştir. Biri Foundation Company, diğeri Monck-Ulen Müteahhitler Grubu olan iki Amerikan Firması da aynı şekilde teklif vermiştir. 5. Boot firması Yol İhalesi bakımından avantajlı bir konumdaydı. Ancak Sulama Sözleşmesi'nde en düşük teklifi verdikleri için Bayındırlık Bakanı tarafından Yol Sözleşmesi üzerindeki taleplerinde ısrar etmemeleri istenmiştir. Sulama Sözleşmesi'ni kesinlikle alacaklarına ikna olduklarından bunu kabul etmişlerdir. 6. Yunan Hükümeti iki Komite oluşturmuştur: biri Sulama Tekliflerinin Teknik Önerilerini, diğeri Mali Önerilerini incelemek üzere. Her iki Komite de oybirliğiyle Boot firmasının Teklifinin kabulü yönünde rapor vermiştir. 7. Sorumlu Bakan olan Ulaştırma Bakanı, Boot firmasının teklifini Kabine'ye tavsiye etmiştir. 8. Kabine, söylendiğine göre Amerikan Büyükelçisi'nin baskısı altında, Boot firmasının teklifi yaklaşık £450,000 daha düşük olmasına rağmen Sulama İşlerini iki Amerikan Grubu arasında bölüştürmeye karar vermiştir. 9. Boot firmasına ağır bir haksızlık yapmakta olduğunu fark eden Yunan Hükümeti, bu firmaya Epir'de ve Yunanistan'ın başka yerlerinde yaklaşık £5,000,000 tutacak ek Sulama İşleri vermeyi önermiştir. 10. Bu arada Maliye Bakanı, Vardar ve Yol Sözleşmelerinin hem kısa hem de uzun vadeli kredileri için Hambro firması ile anlaşmaya varmıştır. 11. Yunan Bakanı ardından Struma-Teselya
