corresponding to the 17th April 1937, on the subject of
the revision of the 1391 Treaty, in which you state that
you nave been directed by the Hon'ble the Political

the revision in order to consider them before negotia

His Majesty's u-overnnient for the same.
We would reqmest you to inform the Hon'ble

Government, that We note from early negotiations, which
were formerly carried out with our late grandfather Saiyid
Faisal on the subject,that His Majesty's Government did
not then ask for proposals for revision before the actual
commencement of negotiations for revision. But for this
purpose they authorized their Consul at Muscat to direct
ly open negotiations.
We would therefore request His Majesty's
Government to accord to us the same procedure they had
then adopted when negotiations took place for revision
of the Treaty.
We are awaiting with pleasure for His Majesty's
Government to delegate some one for negotiations on the
subject.
