(2) Frolon£ation_of_1891_Treatx. As regards the
prolongation of the existing Treaty for one year pending
the final negotiations and ratification of the new Treaty,
Secretary explained to His Highness theimpossibility of
being able to conclude the new Treaty before February next
year when the present one expires and the undesirability of
having a period in which there would be no Treaty between
the two countries. His Highness agreed, but asked for
some concessions in the terms of the present Treaty.
Secretary pointed out that His Majesty's Government
had novif agreed to the imposition on British subjects of the
new Muscat Municipal Tax and previously (in 1934) had
permitted the Sultan to raise his Custom Tariffs, though
he had bound himself by the Treaty not to do so. His
esty's Government had also used their good offices on
behalf of the Sultan with the French Republic and with
some difficulty persuaded them to modify their rights
under their o?m Treaty in this connection.
The Sultan promised that he would agree to prolong
the existing Treaty of 1891 for another year or until such
time as the new Treaty should have been concluded and rati
fied whichever was less.
It was decided that the Political igent,, Muscat,
should address a letter to the Sultan informing him of the
^^eement of His Majesty's G-overnment to this Municipal
and the Sultan would then reply that he was willing to
P r olong the Treaty for one year more on the conditions
stated above#
