16th November, 1949.
*4
Please refer to Foreign Office telegram
677 of the 4th November to me on the subject of
the Saudi Arabian boundary negotiations so far
as they concern Muscat. I enclose herewith a
copy of the relevant correspondence. If you see
no objection, would you kindly inform Woods-
Ballard of the claim made by the Saudi Arabian
Government in the first enclosure and of the
reply which is being made to this claim. You
should then speak to him on the lines suggested
in the last two sentences of Foreign Office tele
gram 677 and enquire whether there is anything
else the Sultan would wish us to say in rebuttal
of the Saudi claim and whether he would be willing
and able to produce documentary proof of the
allegiance to him of all or any of the tribes
concerned should we find it desirable to ask
him to do so.
2. If Woods-Ballard wishes to ascertain the
Sultan’s views urgently you could ask the Foreign
Office to transmit a message to him through the
Deputy United Kingdom High Commissioner, Bombay.
