P.L. MacDermott to William Mackinnon. letter to be sent to National Observer, in unstamped envelopes, regarding criticism there of IBEA Co.'s decision to withdraw from Uganda. Forced through lack of govt. support. Initial action due only to public opinion & "great external pressure". Costs of administration etc. beyond the means & competence of a private company - £26,000 subscribed less than costs of extra year imposed by "further pressure". Orders fixed a year ago - not because of difficulty of communicating with Capt. Lugard - to enable necessary preparations - no repetition of Gordon fiasco.
