British Action In Oman

Egyptian Government officials. to whom Britisli-baiting is a favourite pastime are circulating the foolish charge that Britairrs intervention In the trouble between the Sultan of Muscat and Oman and the rebel- lious Imam of Oman is an act of aggression agairist 0man's "inde- pendence." This charge is being sup- ported by Soviet propaganda. And even in the I”mtcd States and (Tan- ada there are those who feel that British intervention wa s neither necessary nor prudent. In these cir- cumstances. the following statement delivered rcccritly in the British House of Commons by Foreign Secretary Selwgvn l.lrwrl deserves the fullest possible publicity. Not only does it explain the situation. It is a reminder to all concerned that Brit- aln still honours her obligations.

"The Sultanate of Muscat and Oman is an independent sovereign state. In 1913 a religious dignitary known as the Imam lcd a revolt of some of the tribes in the interior, but in 1920 an agreement was reach- ed under which the tribes were given some autonomy but the sove- reignty of the Sultan was recognized throughout the Sultanate. This agree- ment was broken by the tribes in the year or two prior to December 1933, when the new Imam, with foreign help, sought to establish a separate principality. The Sultan took steps to reasscrt his authority. and forces under his control entered the inhabited centres of Oman. meet- ing no resistance. The former imam was allowed by the Sultan to live in his village against a guarantee of his good behaviour from the local Sheik. llis brother, Talib, escaped to Saudi Arabia and thence to Cairo.

"Since that time an t(')mam Ima- mate' office has been established in Cairo, while Cairo radio disseminates pro-Imam propaganda. A month or two ago there was trouble with one tribal ruler. The Sultan dealt with this successfully and the leader eon- ccrned surrendered on 11th June. On that same day. however. Talib, the brother of the ex-Imam is be- lieved to have landed again in Illus- cat. About the same time a quantity of arms, including light machine guns and anti-tank mines, was also larioui. Talib set himself up in the mountain area northwest of Nizwa and attracted to himself something like Lttltl followers. He then occupied certain villages. some of which had fortifications. The loyal tribes Sent to deal with 'l”:rli'o were unable to cope with the automatic weapons and land mines,-and Talib's follow- crs were able to inflict a reverse on the Sultan's forces lmckirri: the loyal tribes. This criablcd Talib to per- suarle other local tribcsmcn to de- flect. In the priiiiltiic tribal society of the region. without some active reaction from the Sultan or his friends, there was nlways the pos- sibility that disnflccliori in i g ht spread from tribe to tribe.

"It was in these circumstanrvis that on the evening of ltith .lulv the Sultan sent an ippcal to iler Ma- jesty's Government in the form of in letter to Her Majesty's Consul- General in Nfuscat The terms of the Sultan's letter were as follows:

'”You have full knowledge of the situation which has now develop- ed at Nizwa, and I feel the time has come when I must request the maxi- mum military and air support which our friend Her Britannlc Majesty:

slot! or subversion Second, there in the direct British interest involved. and I have no need to express to the House the importance of the Persian Gulf. In the Gulf we have certain formal and implicit obligations to the rulers of Sheikdoms under our protection to protect them againsf attack. This is generally understood throughout the area, and it has al- ways been assumed that Her Ma- jesty's Govemment would honour her obligations. 'I'iie difference be- tween a formal obligation and the obligations of a long-standing re- lationship of friendship is not readily apparent to local rulers and people. If we were to fail in one area it would begin to be assumed else- where that perhaps the anti-British propaganda of our enemies had some base to it and that iler Ma- jesty's Government were no longer willing or able to help our friends."
