22. The Sultan 1 b away at Dhofar. Recently his
visits there have been of considerable duration, three
to four months, and it is thought that he wishes to
make Dhofar the capital. There is, however* the
disadvantage that the proximity to the Kali desert makes
it a dangerous locality due to the probability of raids
by fierce Bedouin tribes. This is considered to be a
sufficient deterrent to the project at the moment.
23. Sayod Hamed, ‘the wicked uncle" and Wall of
Mattrah. is at present officially on leave granted by
the Dultan. He took his leave, bit refuses to leave
the State House because he is afraid that he will never
be allowed to return there. Consequently Sayed Mahmood,
who has been appointed to temporary duty as ..all during
Bayed ffaiped's leave, has to travel daily to and from
Muscat.
24. During my call, the A byssinian situation was
discussed, and all present appeared to be in favour of
the doctrine of collective security. Bayed Nadir, who
had more to say for himself than the others, voiced the
opinion that the fighting would soon stop in Abyssinia
and that island will benefit as a result. "It is", he
said, "an old Arab saying that, 'when two countries
fight, a third reaps the harvest', and Bhgland is that
third mrty". I explained that anything that we were
doing was being done as a signatory of the League and
not as an individual country.
