forwarded under ray Printed Letter Ho*G/309 of same date,
on the subject of the Muscat treaty.
2 # I do not Know whether the Government of India
will have their views ready fcy next month feut, if ao, it
would be most convenient if I could meet the Sultan in
India either at Karachi or at Bombay, where I understand
he will be for some three weeica from the Beginning of tfune.
in the first place it would be more easy for me to get to
Karachi than to Muscat by a day 1 ® flight either from here
or Bahrain, wnile the journey either from here or Bahrain
to Muscat would involve four or five days ty snip. In
the second place prior to actual signature there will
doubtless be some final points which %m aovernment of
India would liice me to discuss with the liultan. fhis
discussion will probably ta&e some little time, and could
be carried on more comfortably and with better chances of
agreement in the comparative cool of Karachi than in tne
trying summer temperature of Muscat I
5. lven if it is impossible for the treaty to be
ready for signature in June, it would be a decided ad
vantage to reach a final agreement then with the Sultan
