The Amir of J aalan asserts his independence from
the yoke of the Sultan of M u gcat , and asks certain
rights.
H© says that his relations/with the Muscat state
are not other than those of an ally and good neighbour•
The Amirs of Jaalan have always been trying for
independence and wish to establish direct relations with
the S r iti8h Govt*
The fact is that the M u scat State is declining
daily, and at present it does not exercise its
jurisdiction beyond the seacoast and a few miles deep
in the interior# Its Govt on the seacoast is merely
on the strength of British l^avy#
Interior of Oman sprung up into a seperate state
during war and it is run by an Imam quite independently
