on the understanding (a) that a similar increase will
apply to the ships of all other nations, except those of
the United States, ^hich, as stated in Mr. Thomas 1 despatch
of the 5th September, 1931, are protected "by a Treaty of
1833, and of the Netherlands, which enjoy most-favoured
nation treatment (To) that if any ships so protected
exploit their treaty advantage the right is reserved of
immediately withdrawing this acquiescence. The draft of
the note which it is proposed to address to His Highness
is enclosed.
5. This proposal has been submitted to the French
Government who have intimated their willingness that a
note in similar terms and subject to a similar understandfing
should be addressed to the Sultan on their behalf, and as
there is no French representative in Muscat, they have
requested the good offices of His Majesty's Government in
the United Kingdom in the matter.
6. His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom
feel confident that in the present difficult circumstances
the above policy will commend itself to His Majesty's
Government in the Irish Free State and they trust
therefore that His Majesty's Government in the Irish Free
State will be willing to authorise the presentation of a
similnr note to the Muscat Government on their behalf.
7. As the question is now one of urgency it would
be appreciated if intimation of the wishes of His Majesty's
Government in the Irish Free State could be given at an
early date.
8. A similar enquiry is being made of His Majesty's
Government in Canada. His Majesty's Government in the
Union of South Africa have already signified their desire
to withdraw from the Treaty.
I have, etc.,
(Sgd.) J.H.Thomas.
