are we not all to some extent at cross-purposes over
the revision of the Muscat Treaty? 3o far as I can make out
no one wants it - unless you do for local reasons. The
Secretary of State only keeps writing about it because the
Colonial Office raised the question of separate withdrawal
for the Dominions. But the Dominions are very little inte
rested, and unless you want the revision pressed, the proposal
will probably , and may well be suffered to, die a natural
and unrejretted death•
The same applies to revision of the tariff.
