ASSISTANCE TO MUSCAT.
2. His Majesty's Government agree to supply of arms
and ammunition to Sultan at 50^ below list price (cost of
reduction to be shared by H .M .G. and Government of India
in proportion of 45:55 and met through Defence Expenditure
Plan) and to purchase by him of other stores at list price
on assumption that all such arms and stores are surplus
to India's requirements and that no call will be made on
War Office for replacement. Services also agree to officers ?
and N.C.O.s being made available as suggested. They
consider that in any exchange of letters with Sultan regarding
supply of arms etc. it should be made clear that they are
supplied and services of personnel are made available at
the request of Sultan. ^
3. With regard to question of obtaining an undertaking
from Sultan to obtain advisers in future solely from British
sources, His Majesty's Government are anxious that no
written agreement should be made which might later be used
against His Majesty's Government as an example of interference
in sovereignty of an independent State. If you and Political
Resident think that ? such an assurance in writing if given
spontaneously would be of real value for future they have
no objection to its being accepted but they consider that
it should not in any case be specifically linked with supply
of arms etc.
