I ini’er thit the T taiian Government do not want him anywhere in
North Africa and the French authorities have already refused to
accede to his request for permission to go to xunis, addressed
to the French Consul-General at Bombay, is it seems, therefore,
unlikely that any destination will prove acceptable both to the
%
Italians and to Baruni, His Majesty's Government can do no
more than promise to inform them if and when he leaves muscat of
his own accord. The circumstances have been explained
unofficially to the T taiian Embassy in a letter of which I
enclose a copy herewith.
