and it seemed to me|extremely improbable that the Sultan,
seeing the chance to collect import duty thereon, would
in his cupidity be willing to listen to any representa**
tions for continued remission, however f«w and well
founded these might be, but would stand firm for his legal
ri^its*
I concluded by a general review of the situation
up to the point reached at that date, explaining that
owing apparently to some misunderstanding the Colonial
Office and the Company have been at cross-purposes, which
had resulted in your having received directions not to
permit the Sultan of Muscat to agree to withdrawal of the
two "limitation" provisions, whereas we had definite advice
of the Sultan's willi^igneBB to do so - in fact his wish to
do so in respect to area limitation.
I emphasised the point that^ the unstable political
conditions within the territories of the Sultan, must ren
der our operations there peculiarly difficult. We should
undoubtedly be faced with the onus and expense of making
subsidiary agreements with local Shaikhs solely because the
Sultan of Muscat had not the power to control certain Sectinns
of his territories and to ensure us freedom and protection
of action. Therefore, in actual fact, the Sultan would
be signing an agreement one of the most essential obliga*-*
tions of which he could not, by his own admission.
