the rise and present position of the rebel movement in Oman,and
describes the present position,! should think very accurately,
as one in which we are supporting at our own expense and largely
by force of arms a Ruler who is thoroughly distasteful to the
vast majority of his titular subjects,and who is unfitted by
his personal character for the arduous task of imposing has

be possible to throw him over without incurring a serious
charge of breach of faith.
