State Gouneil to th© United States Government 1 & draft treaty
arim from a aisinclination to extend to United States eitizons
privileges enjoyed by British nationals, the question of the
manner in which thi® new proposal shoald be ©mbmitted to the
United States Government is somewhat delicate,
6 # to enter into details as to the provisions of the
United States draft treaty which are nnaoceptable t» likely
merely to lead either to objections on the part of the United
States Government or to . ossibly embarrMsimg gE-geationa for
overcoming the difficulties seen by the .iuaeat Council* while
leaving you discretion on this point, I coaeider therefore that
the best course would be merely to inform the State department
that after a earefui examination of their draft treaty the
Muscat State Council have reluctantly come to the- conclusion
that the negotiation of such a treaty would present a variety of
difficulties, the solution of which would inevitably .involve
gre % delay, and might well entail negotiations with other
governments, and that since, on the other hand - tor the reasons
explained in fare graph 3 above - an. increase in the Muscat
tariff has no^ become a matter of more iminediate urgency, it is
desired to negotiate, in the most expeditious manner oesible,
the simple modification of the existing treaty between the
Onlted states and Muscat referred to in par ./.graph 4 above. You
may add that His Majesty*8 Government in the "Onlted jtingdom are,
for their part prepared, subject to the concurrence of the
United States Oovernment and the French Oevernmant, who are aleo
being approached in a aimilar ^enee, in the necesaary treaty
modification, correspondingly to modify their own treaty of
1891 with the State of Muscat.
