MUSCAT TREATY.
Note of eighth meeting, with His Hip-hness thp
Sultan, 22nd April. -^nneso the
Present, His Highness, Sir T. Rov/le
and Mr. Gibson.
Article 1 (iii) > His Highness desires the last words to
read (as he tormerly proposed) "registered by the Omani
Government and entitled to fly the flag of the Sultan".
iifj. icle - 2 ( 2 ) ( 3) q His Highness was offered, and
accepted, the alternative clause which reads "should the
Sultan wish to establish any monopoly in his territory
such monopoly will be arranged in such a way that it will
not be detrimental to the trade in "which nationals of
His Majesty are occupied." After the meeting, however,
he indicated his wish to amend the paragraph so that it
would read, "should the Sultan wish to establish any
monopoly in any part of his territory such monopoly will
be arranged in such a way that it will not be detrimental
to the trade in which nationals of His Majesty are at the
time occupied in that part of his territory".
^aqt icle 3 - His Highness now takes exception to the
provision according nation al treatment in paragraph (l)
though he has no objection to the similar provision in
paragraph (2). In paragraph (l) he said that this new
provision, which does not occur in the existing Treaty,
went much too far, and he was not prepared to waive his
objection when it was pointed out that similar provisions
occurred in the majority of commercial treaties, including
treaties made e.g. with Germany, Austria and the United
Kingdom.
