the question or the rev is i or ot tae Treaty arid the present is
not in lay opinion a good, time to deal with the matter # "but it
cannot "be helx)ed it His Highness insists. The acute phase
or the Arms Traffic question has followed so quick upon the
Hacue award, that there has not "been any very favourable
opportunity of settling the question of revision. If we could
arrive at some arrangement with France regarding the Arms
Traffic question perhaps the opportunity could he taken by
both Ocuntrietc revise tueir Treatie s with ' .
8.- In the meanwhile, I bee to aslr for instructions as
to what action should "be taken, in regard to the new export
duties, and also whether the pour parlers between His Highness
and Major Grey in 1906 are to be considered as equivalent to
a notice for revision of the 1891 Treaty, as His Highness
appears to think, or not. Muscat and Mutrah are not
affected by the new exr>ort duties, the interests involved are
not very large, there are a few Hindus at 3uweykh and 3ohar,
and a certain number of Kaoias at Kriabura and other ports.
The imposition of export duty liowever without the concurrence
of the British Government, appears to me an unwarrantable act
on the part of His Highness, wh& should, I venture to surest^
b0 required to cancel his notification levying the said duty.
