necessary to take all the possibilities into aooount. ^ 0
The next question is,is there any alternative ? Uy
first suggestion under this head is one which is very probably
quate impracticable,but it is suggested to me by practice on
the N»W, Frontier, and would certainly have the advantage of P

One lakh is equal to one hundred thousand rupees
ing our bona fides beyond doubt. The procedure suggested is
somewhat as follows ; Major Haworth to see Shaikh Isa as pre
posed,and discuss the whole position frankly with him,^ em -
phasising our desire to avoid any degree of interference beyond
the irreducible minimum involved by our obligations to our
friend the Sultan. When he had as far as possible cleared the
issues,he would again discuss the subject with the Sultaa,and
eventually the points at issue between the parties would be
referred to Arab arbitrators,chosen by both parties from outside
Oman, and conducting their arbitration in close^touch with the
Political Agent

,as a precaution against improper influences.
The result of this raifth t be to arrive at an agreed settlement
if the men chosen were the right kind and carried weight en -
ough. In any case,such an attempt would demonstrate our desire
to get the Arans to run themselves. But I imagine the sectarian
trouble would make this impossible.
If the above suggestion is impracticable,I can only
suggest that the financial trouble,being acute,might be taken
up at once,by the appointment of a Customs Superintendent
nominated by us,to work on lines to be laid down by the Politi
cal Agent,and by a loan from Government guaranteed by the
Customs or a direct payment on the cession of Gwadur. The
liilitary problem,being more delicate and far-reaching,and less
immediately pressing,might be held over at least until ^Major
Haworth'
