has not so fax been conferred upon subjects of any other
State.
In the circunistances, we cannot accept paragraphs
2 of the draft as it stands. Rather than do 00 we should
be willing to agree to some modification of paragraph 1, It
may perhaps be found possible to re-word the «hole Article
so as to leave matters in practice much as they are at present
without offending the Sultan's susceptibilities. ¥e should
have no objection to adding Muscat to the countries mentioned
in the Schedule of Home Department Notification No.P.620/32,
dated the 25th July 1932 (copy enclosed^ provided the Sultan
grants similar or greater facilities in respect of the
property of British subjects dying in Muscat.
Article 19. We agree that the article as it stands
is undesirable and suggest that if possible the Sultan
should be persuaded to drop it on a verbal assurance that any
request of his for the expulsion of a British subject will be
sympathetically considered byt the
Political Agent
A mid-ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Agency.
. If the
Sultan cannot be persuaded to drop it we suggest that a
proviso might be added as follows? "provided satisfactory
evidence of such action of an alien is furnished to the
same Consular authority".
Article 22. We suggest that if His Majesty 's Government
consider it desirable tha article might be redrafted on more
modern lines, c.f. paragraphs 1 and 2 of Article 37 of the
Anglo-Rumanian Treaty of 1930.
3. Our comments will follow shortly on Articles 4 to 8
and 20 of the draft treaty. Excluding these we have nothing
to add to Powle's coianents on any of the Articles of the draft
treaty not specifically mentioned above.
