CONSULAR SERVICE, U.S.A.
( £Q£v.)
/
Muscat, Oman, November 27th. ISOS.
To,
Kis Majesty
Seyyid Feysul bin Tvirlri,
Sultan of Qmaz?.
Majesty:
After Complindents • Y. M*s note dated the 8th of
Dzul Coda 1£27 A.H. has been received and its contents care
fully noted. I observe that Y. M. states that a doctor offi
cially appointed by the American Government would be acceptable
to him. Nov/ there is nothing in cur treaty author!zing any
one to distinguish among American' doctors and any division of
them into acceptable and unacceptable classes is purely arbi
trary. The possession of a certain right by one doctor implies
the possession of the same right by all doctors, unless the law
gives authority to discriminate. As Y* declares that one
kind of American doctor is acceptable, I assume that he implies
that An. eric an doctors in general are acceptable.
The point at issue then is not the right of American
doctors to reside and practise in Oman, but the possible dis
turbance of the public peace arising from a missionary’s med
dling in religious matters. X feel Justified in assuring Y. M,
that the United States will not encourage their citizens in
meddling, as they will not fail to support them in legitimate
activities. I have never heard of our missionaries meddling.
Should such a case occur it should be reported to the Consul
who would b© obliged to give the matter his most careful atten
tion.
L.3.F.
I nave etc •,
(Signed). JOHN A. RAY.
American Consul.
