sugar-cane growing and sugar-making might perhaps be referred to
the Government of India. In the case of any research work on
cocoanuts the reference should be to the Government of Ceylon. As
regards road-making and water-supply problems I suggest that such
an engineer might be obtained, on loan, from the Government of
Baroda (as they have had experience of Okhamandal and country
similar to the coast of Dhufar). His Highness is already aware of
the value of a suitable guest house or hostel near the aerodrome for
the representatives of industrialists who may come to Salalah to
conduct negotiations and make local enquiries and as a nucleus for
offices later on. In conclusion, I must repeat that I feel a vast
advance, industrially, is possible in the province of Dhufar, and
this can be encouraged and accelerated by facilities of accommoda
tion, communications, and by grants of licences and leases to reliable
firms on generous terms. I have no fear that the tribesmen may
give cause for anxiety. They are poor and proud but I am sure
they will see the advantages of progress.
