to correspondence on subjecV'
of Saiyid Tariq resting with demi-official letter N o .D.7746-ME/45,
dated the 22nd. June, 1945, from the Government of India?

2. Since Saiyid Tariq's return from his tour in the Dhahirah
area, which was reported in the Muscat Intelligence Summary No.15
for the fortnight ending 15th, August, 1945, no post in the Muscat
Government has been allotted to him and I have had several conver
sations with the Sultan in regard to finding Tariq suitable employ
ment. The Sultan T s view of his half-brother is that his poor
knowledge of Arabic and his irresponsible attitude towards life
make it difficult to give him an independent appointment of any
importance and that the best arrangement would be for Tariq to be
placed under the British Adviser who would be expected to exercise
firm supervision over his work. To my suggestion that, until an
Adviser is found for Muscat, Tariq might work with Muscat Levies
under the Military Adviser, the Sultan replied that he did not feel
that Major Hirst could effectively control him. As an alternative
to this I suggested that, as the police arrangements in Muscat and
Matrah left much to be desired, Tariq might make use of the police
training he had had in India to conduct an examination on this ques
tion and to draw up a report with proposals for improvement. The
Sultan accepted the suggestion and as soon as the Id celebrations
are over, intends to instruct Tariq accordingly.
3. I have not yet had an opportunity of assessing Tariq f s worth
for myself but am expecting to take him with me on a shopt tour to
Sur shortly in order to get to know him better.
4. ^y own view is that the Sultan's suggestion that his brother
should be placed under the Adviser is a good one, but that in the
mean time it is of the greatest importance that Tariq should not be
allowed to stagnate.
