Foreign Office to
Sir,
Foreign Office, 30, 1913.
WITH reference to your letter of the 16th May on the subject of the grant of
British and German flags to dhows on the east coast of Africa, I am directed by
Secretary Sir E. Grey to transmit to you the enclosed letter from the India Office,* and
to enquire if Mr. Secretary Harcourt sees any objection to the proposal contained in
paragraph 9 of the letter from the political agent at Muscat, dated the 8th September,
1912^ copy of which was communicated to you on the 28th January last.
Major Knox's proposal is that the authorities of the East Africa Protectorate
might refer to the political agent at Muscat when a case where there was any ground
at all for suspicion that an applicant for registration as the owner of a British ship
was connected with Muscat, in order that a "no objection" certificate might be
obtained from His Highness the Sultan.
I am, &c.
W. LANGLEY.
