Dear Gibson,
I have been looking at the draft Treaty with Muscat
which I understand you propose to submit provisionally to
the Sultan.
My interest lies in the definition of "nationals"
which would exclude persons under His Majesty^ protection
in the Aden Protectorate.
We do not object, if you think it necessary, to the
exclusion of such persons from the privilege of trial by the
Consular authorities under Article 13 of the draft Treaty;
but we consider that they should be entitled to all the
coramerGial and trading advantages secured to British subjects
by other articles of the draft. We should not, therefore,
without consultation with the Aden authorities, willingly
agree to the presentation to the Sultan of a draft Treaty
which definitely excluded them from these advantages.
The position of Zanzibar also requires consideration
and Dawe will look into this and let you have his views as
soon as possible.
Yours sincerely
(SB.) H. R. GOWELL
