2. The essential difference between the visit
to Muscat and the visit to Henjam for the purpose of
the present correspondence is that the French have no
longer any diplomatic representative in Muscat, while
they are of course in diplomatic relations with
Persia, and so can approach the Persian Government
direct. It is not, however, quite clear that the
Political Resident A senior ranking political representative (equivalent to a Consul General) from the diplomatic corps of the Government of India or one of its subordinate provincial governments, in charge of a Political Residency. has in fact consulted the Muscat
authorities as to whether they would see any
objection to a visit to their State, and his report^
that there is "no objection" to the "Diana’s" visit
may refer merely to the objections from our point of
view. In the circumstances, it might perhaps be best
to confine the Note to be addressed to the French
Ambassador to the question of Henjam only, and to re
word it as suggested in the draft. To prevent any
misunderstanding, it will perhaps be desirable to
