No.M.13. Dated , Muscat , November 15th 1911.
i
All my time here having been occupied in negociations with Sultan in
regard to Arms Traffic , it has not been possible to go into the
matter of the Muscat treaty with His Highness in detail ; I have how- :
-ever arrived at the following arrangement with him on the latter
subject .
He expresses his readiness to continue to alband by the terras of
the current Treaty for another two years or for any period up to
that time which may seem to us desirable . In the interval it is
agreed that the modifications which are desired by him or by Govern-
-ment shall be deliberately discussed between us . With the latter
object in view His Highness agrees to start afresh with our draft
( the new printed one ) as his basis and to inscribe on a copy
of the latter what he prima facie desires in the way of additions or {|
alterations . This work will now be proceeded with and the joint
in regard to which
discussion of modif ications/divergence of view exists will be dealt ,
_
with deliberately in turn after my return from Delhi .
