revenue purposes to be able to raise the duties on goods
landed from these veBeels. If such Is the case, then it wouk;
seem necessary to secure a modification of treaty rights,
since Article 10 of the French treaty gives most-favoured-
nation rights to French vessels ©nd their cargoes. But if
■/'•j
such is not the case, and if, as we believe, very few
: ■ j/i '
American or French vessels ply to the Persian Gulf» then it
would seem possihle to raise the outies on American and French
goods imported into Muscat on vessels of other nationality
without infringing American or French treaty rights.
(4) Yet another way of getting round American rights
without negotiating a new treaty was suggested in our telegram
No. 163 of April 8th, 1930. Coula we not argue by analogy
V
from the Convention of Saint Germain that the limitation
imposed by the treaty of 1853 on the right of the Sultan of
Muscat to raise duties on goods imported into his territory
is now obsolete, and that he cannot be expected to confer on
U.S.nationals exclusive rights which they do not enjoy under
the treaty of 1833 in exchange for the consent of the U.S.
Government to the removal of this limitation?
Perhaps these suggestions, which we offer very
tentatively, are futile; they are only inspired by the
desire to be helpful and by the feeling that it might be
possible to circumvent an obstacle difficult to surmount by
a frontal attack.
Yours ever,
CHANCKRY.
