Highness and his officials. In the other, a debtor,
possessed of similar valuable property at the time
ot a l oan not eighteen months old, has disposed o£
that property by a friendly family agreement and
the creditor is apparently powerless against this
palpably shady transaction.. Cheating bankrupt s
are common everywhere; but this cynical support
of their fraudulent devices is most discreditable to
Hi s Highness. To legalise these flimsy excuse s
would be dan gerous in the extreme .
(a. fide note (2) to Article IV.
Article XVII.
As per draft Treaty, but Arabic drafting appear
to me faulty and obscure, easily altered.
Article XVIII.
As per draft Treaty.
Article XIX.
As per draft Treaty except after the word
" Board" add " which the Sultan, or his naib,
shall appoint " vide remarks to Article VIII,
note (2). The words <c Ilis Majesty" are not
here employed.
Article XX.
As per draft Treaty.
Article XXI.
As per commercial Treaty of 1891. No diffi
culty anticipated in necessary alterations.
Article XXII.
Omitted in His Highness's draft. There may
be some difficulty in getting him to accept from
the semi -colon in 3rd line to full stop of 5th line,
which, in present state of Eastern opinion, may
be considered insulting. I presume this customary
provision must be insisted upon though I am
personally inclined to think this is unnecessary.
No other difficulty should present itself over the
acceptance of the rest of this purely formal Article.
Article XXIII.
Should also present no difficulty, though it has
been omitted by His Highness from his draft.
