As regards the suggestiom that the Sultan should
further be required to undertake not to conclude ^'resh
treaties with foreign powers without the consont of His
Majesty's Government, I am toj^advert to the last nara-
graph of Sir R. Ritchie's letter of 19th July 1911, and
to say that Lord Crewe trusts that, in view of the im
proved relatinns now happily existing with the Fr^nci*
Government in connection with Masqat, Sir E. Grey w 11
see his way to open the question with them. Tho T term
"Foreign Powers" should presumably be understood ^.o m^a.n
Powers other than France and Great Britain. The increased
interest shown by Germany in the
Persian Gulf
The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran.
seems to
make such an agreement with the Sultan even more desi
rable than it was two years ago, and His Lordship would
prefer to make it one of the conditions of the renewed
subsidies; but if difficulty and delay on the pert of
the French Government are to be anticipated, he realises
that this may be impracticable.
