f As regards para, (b) of Secretary of State' for
the Colonies* telegram. It is perhaps not appreciated
ho little the Sultan of Muscat has to offer to the. Anglo-
Persian Oil Company. He can only offer for exploration
strip along Batina Coast., which is not supposed to contain j
oil, and Gwadur territory. From Muscat southward he has:
"but nominal control of seaport and any exploration is
impossible without previous agreement of tribe(s) concerned
-- which agreement is problematical. Dhofar offers
perhaps a field for safe exploration, but alleged oil
appears to lie West of the Sultan^ territory. It is
also just possible rival oil concessionaire might approach
leading hinterland Shaikhs direct.
I therefore suggest as Colonial 01fice clearly
object o monopolist aspect of present proposal and insist ^
on 100,000 acree as limit of concessianary area,the Company
be allowed to divide this area into as many plots as they
may desire. (Jonf igUEst ion of terrain militates
against larg. block. Batina Coast is narrow strip
betv .een hill and sea.
From I us cat southward is mountainous country
right back to desert.
Bhofar province with sea coast --length 130
