Muscat on the question.
I think the following points are beyond dispute;
f -
(a) It is extremely necessary for 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.
to have
power to punish infringements of the Arms Warehouse Rules by
i- . ' '
British subjects.
(b) It is most undesirable, by the publication, by itself, of a
special Arms Warehouse Regulation, to thrust unon the notice
of foreign subjects the fact that they are not at present
liable to any punishment for the infringement of these Rules.
The Arms Traffic is at present dead, but the nresent circums-
tances are altogether exceptional, and in view of the enormous
i ^
profit to be made, it is not to be expected that when trade
is one3 more freed from war restrictions, atteirrots will not be
made to revive it.
(c) article 82 of fhe Order really lays down the nrincinle to
which the present K.R. gives force and effect.
The gravamen of the objection taken by the Government of India
to the K.R. as published is that the acts to oe penal z 5d are
not clearly set out, andjit would, no doubt, be possible, though
in the highast degree improbable, Tor the Political Resi r le?it
to penalize an act done without orininal intent, by declaring
it ex post factfl to have been a breach, o: a recognized law or
custom
