No.1490.
Dated and received 9th July 1920.
Today I am in receipt of a letter from Sheikh'Isa, in
which he asks if the British Government are responsible for
the recent proclamation.
From reliable information it is shown that the Sharkiya
remove
tribes addressed Sheikh Isa asking him to/ si®xb their dif
ficulties and saying that they were compelled to endure this
because of the acts of those^seized property which was not
beneficial to them.
Sheikh Isa procrastinated, saving that he would address
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.
. That he has been^compelled fio do so
is a significant fact.
I would strongly urge that I should reply stating our
position at once. It must be unmistakably shown in the letter^
that we are absolutely behind the Sultan of Muscat, but it
will be worded so as not 16 commit the Government in any way
beyond our engagements.
It is possible that this action will bring about a
decision,as the Omanis do not consider that we will support
the Sultan's Government. Shiikh Isa himself had previously
written to ShMkh Said, bin Nasir saying that if he taew the
British-wished that the properties should be returned, it
would be d6ne.
Please see following telegram which is gist of letter
for your approval.
