2c We appreciate desirability of making Saltan feel
that he will have support of His Majesty*^ Government in
extricating himself from his treaty difficulties with France
and United States of America. On the other hana, it must
be recognised that we can in fact give lit-ie assistance of
value and that our efforts will probably be ineffectual as
before in case of United States of America. Moreover, looking
at question from different angle, it would be manifestly
unwise to encourage Muscat to think complete tariff autonomy
can be secured except on reasonable conditions<> India has more
to lose than either France or United States of Anienca if
Muscat tariffs are greatly increased and our main safeguard
l gainst this might be Sultan's contractual inability to raise
tariffs against other countries with whom we can reasonably oia c
;quul treatment on most fayoured nation basis. The most,
-,herefore, that we feel justified in agreeing to is a suggestion
:o Julian that if he gives us moat favoured nation treatment in
lew treaty we will, if he desires, approach French and Jnited
States of America Governments on his behalf with a view to
icdifioation of present treaty restrict!cos to moderate extent.

About this item
- Content
The volume contains letters, telegrams, minutes and draft correspondence relating to the renewal of the Anglo-Muscat Treaty of Friendship, Commerce and Navigation of 1891. The bulk of the papers consists of correspondence connected to the annual renewal of the treaty for the years 1931-38 and the forwarding of copies of the renewal agreement to various offices of the British Government.
The volume also covers the insertion of a clause in the agreement to allow for the Union of South Africa, a British Dominion, to withdraw from the treaty.
From April 1937 much of the correspondence concerns the Sultan's wish to revise the 1891 treaty and the subsequent negotiations. No conclusion of these negotiations is covered by the volume.
The main correspondents are 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. , Muscat, Political Residency An office of the East India Company and, later, of the British Raj, established in the provinces and regions considered part of, or under the influence of, British India. in the Persian Gulf The historical term used to describe the body of water between the Arabian Peninsula and Iran. , Government of India (Foreign Department), India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , and Foreign Office. Further correspondence is from the Dominions Office, Colonial Office, and the Sultan of Muscat, Said bin Taimur [Sa‘īd ibn Taymūr Āl Bū Sa‘īd].
