FOREIGN OPPICE, S.W.I.
(A 6960/169/60)
13th October 1928.
Sir,
iiis majesty's Government have recentl/ been consider
ing the possibility of obtaining the consent of the United
States Government to the revision of articles II, III and IX of
the Treaty of 1833 between the United States and kuscat, in so
far as these articles are obsolete and no longer consonant with
the proper administration of Zanzibar as a British Protectorate
on modern lines.
2. It will be remembered that under the terms of the
loan made to Liberia in 1913 ^is Majesty's Government, the
French and German Governments all acquired the right of
nominating a Receiver of Liberj^ian Customs: these three
officers functioned under a Receiver General selected by the
United States Government. In 1918 Liberia applied to the
United States Government for a further loan, and as a preliminary
to considering this request, the United States Government en
quired whether his Majesty's Government would consent to with
draw the British Receiver, if the loan were made. In a note of
September 13th, 1919, to the United States Ambassador Lord
Curzon agreed to this, subject to certain stipulations to safe
guard British interests in Liberia. The note concluded
"In the course of discussions upon this question
"between the united States and British Peace Delegations
"at Paris, the latter intimated that this Government
"would be glad if possible to efiect with the United States
"a simultaneous settlement of certain questions relating
"to the treaty rights of United States citizens at Zanzibar
"under
Ronald I. ©ampbell, Esq.,
