BRITISH 21J3ASSY,
V/ASHIIIGTOiT, D.C.
January 31st, 1929.
Sir,
I have the honour to inform you that His Majesty^s
Government have recently been considering the question of revising,
subject to the consent of the United States Government, articles
2, 3 and 9 of the Treaty of 1833 between the United States and
Muscat, insofar as these articles are obsolete and no longer
consonant with the proper administration of Zanzibar as a British
Protectorate on modern lines# I have now received instruction
from His Majesty's Acting Principal Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs to draw your attention to the previous correspon
dence between His Majesty t s Government and the United States
Government on the subject and to enquire whether I may assume
that your Government are in principle prepared to fall in with
the wishes of His Majesty^ Government in regard to the modifica
tions of the articles in question, as set forth in the concluding
paragraphs of this note.
2. It will be remembered that under the terms of the loan
made to Liberia in 1913 His Majesty^ Government, the French and
German Governments all acquired the right ol nominating a Receiver
of Liberian Customs: these three officers functioned under a
Receiver General selected by the United States Government* In
1913 Liberia applied to the United States Government for a further
loan, and as a preliminary to considering this request, the
United States Government enquired wnether His Majesty's Government
would consent to withdraw the British Receiver, if the loan were
made. In a note of September 13th 1919, to the United States
Ambassador in London Lord Gurzon agreed to this, subject to certain
stipulations
The Honourable
Frank B.Kellogg,
Secretary of State of the United States,
Washington, D.C.
