of a demi-official letter dated 13th August from the Foreign
Secretary to the Government of India.
2. Sir Samuel Hoare entirely agrees with the
Government of India as to the desirability ol a communication
to the Government of the United States and the Government of
the French Republic in the sense desired by the Sultan of
Muscat. He is 5 however, inclined to think, subject to the
observations of the secretary of State for Foreign Affairs,
that the balance of advantage rests witn making no
communication to the Netherlands Government# Mi lie the
I Netherlands Government have a Commercial Convention with
Muscat, so far as is known traae between the two countries
is negligible, if indeed it can be regarded as existing at
all, and in view of the general unaesiraoility of encouraging
any foreign interest in the petty principalities of one Ar^b
Coast/
