Sir,
I have the honour to inform you that I have received
a telegram from the Foreign and Political department (copy
annexed) otating that the Government of India approve action
against the Oman is on the general lines indicated in my note
of the 19th April 1920#
2 m 1 attach for your guidance a copy of my note, which you
will observe supports In general terms the policy proposed
in your note dated March 1920# I request you will take
action accordingly.
3. I presume that you do not think that the action proposed
will provoke reprisals on the part of the Omanie and that the
reccent reduction of the garrison at MUttra from one regiment
to half a regiment (reduced to companies by finding the
detachments at Jask and Charbar) has not been premature?
When X agreed to the above reduction T did not think that
any action against the Omanis was contemplated, and in writing
my note of the 19th April the fact of the approacing reduct
of the garrison had escaped my memory. I presume however
that you do not expect any recrudescence of hostility among
the Omanis# ^ ,
I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your mo^t obedient servant,
^leut-Col.
