Sultans financial conditions must soon land him in bankrupcy
and iiis administration, or to© want of it makes him more and
mere disliked as a ruler.
In order to terminate x-ne present state of affairs--
'
& is necessary to make %ae one side eee that getcrm of Govt
is necessary and tns other side realise that submission to the .
ruler is the only course possible essH that it is inevitable.
I have said that the Sultan knows that without our
assistanoe his p sition is impossible. Hot only does he know it
but all the world of Musoat and Oman as well. It should not
then be difficult to get him to agree to reasonable terms.
