Majesty* s Government * ^ -do o io ion request for the
assistance of the R.A.F, in his scheme to subjugate
Oman and also discussed future oil exploration with him.
He took H.L.G’s decision very calmly but remarked it
would necessitate his abandoning' his scheme for the
subjugation of Oman by force. He promised to consider
the suggestions about oil exploration but meanwhile
information has been received from the Petroleum
Concessions Limited that they do not propose to.carry
out any oil exploration in Muscat territory during the
coming cold wea.ther. At a separate interview tne wultan
complained about the failure of the Petroleum Concessions
Limited to take any action under their concession in
Dhofar, and suggested that if they were.not interested in
the area they should allow him to negotiate with some
other company. During my stay I visited the Levy lines_
at Bait al Falaj. The Military Adviser hac. not returned
from recess and I was struck by tne general state oi
somnolence that pervaded the place. This however was not
surprising on a hot summer afternoon. Salvage operations
to dispose of the '’Dahpu” which was sunk in Muscat harbour
in 1943 have been in progress since May. One salvage
vessel and two lifting craft have been employed and the
British crews have had very severe climatic conditions to
contend with. There was much sickness to begin.with but
they are in better health now. They succeeded in lilting
the n Dahpu n on the 12th September ano. propose to tow her
out of the harbour and sink her in deep water. It is
hoped that operations will be completed very shortly.
The Imperial Bank of Iran have now.reconsidered tneir
decision not to send a representative to Muscat and nope
to be able to send one next spring. ^The Sultan has agreed
to extend the option he gave them till tnat time, rnan
Bahadur Abdul Haiy the Administrator of Gwadur who is
over 60 years of age has been unable to stay^tne course
and has returned to India owing to ill-health. It is
hoped to obtain a successor from Baluchistan.
