Sir
With reference to your telegram No »314-S dated the
i8th March 1930 I have the honour to forward six copies of a
document prolon^in^ for one year the period of the Ceamercial
Treaty of i891 with the Sultan Of Muscat.
The wording of the prolongation is the same
as that of the previous prolongation.
Th*| document ii dated Hu; cat the iith February
1930 and is signed only "by me. The reason for this is that
sanction for prolongation for a period of one year was only
received on the 19th March, ©ver a month late, and at a time
when both myself anl H.H. the Sultan of Ituscat were on a visit
to H .E# the Viceroy in India.
I have therefor#® the honour to request
you to obtain the signature of H,H. the Sultan of Muscat in
India, where H»H. now is, arid where he,will be remaining till
the stidlle of June.
When the document has been duly signed I
should be obliged if you would make the usual distribution of
copies.
Both H.H. and myself were in uscat on the ilth Feb
ruary 1930.
Sir
