"lie British Consulate,
MOSCAg, 16th May, 1950.
l.y dear Sir Rupert,
I enclose for infomation a copy of a note of a
conversation which I had with the Sultan in Salalah on the
subject of extra territorial rights.
' His Highness feels very much about this question
2 .
and it will be his first item for exclusion from any new
treaty.
I made no comment rays elf, except to say that I
understood Ilia Highness*^ point of view, and that it w s not
impossible for people to have dual nationality, and this
sight apply to .hojas if i uscat clsliaed them. I*d not sure
whether His Hi^mess is clear in his mind whether it is only
jurisdiction he is after, or whether he wants all the people
settled permanently in I Muscat and Oman to become i uscat
subjects. I fancy it is primarily jurisdiction.
Yours sincerely
