His Ii5Sl j esty 1 s Government would be glad to have his proposals
for the revision in order that they may consider them before
negotiations for the revision actually begin.
(Aitchison Vol.XI, page 310) confers most-favoured-nation
rights on British and British protected subjects. It is true
that if the Treaty should lapse this Article would of course
be equally nullified with the rest of the Treaty but in view
of our special position in Muscat it can scarcely be contempat
ed that any fresh Treaty will not confer similar rights. If
therefore the Sultan’s proposals for the new Treaty involve
terms less favourable than those enjoyed by the citizens of
the United States of America under the Treaty of 1833 (Ibid.
APP*XXVIl), or subjects of Prance under the Treaty of 1844
(Ibid.APP*XXIX), or subjects of the Netherlands under the
Treaty of 1877 (Ibid. AppoXXXIX), then it will be necessary
to ask the Sultan to revise these Treaties as well.

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.
