72 SECURING THE TREATY RIGHTS
of the journey from which Mr. White had recently
returned was to inspect the boundary as laid down in the
Convention of 1890, and to compel the withdrawal from
Sikkim territory of any troops which the Tibetans might
have established in violation of that Convention. He
reminded the Chinese Resident that he had offered to
make concessions with respect to these frontier lands, on
the understanding that matters as to trade would be put
on a proper footing. But Lord Curzon pointed out that
the negotiations for the improvement of trade relations
between India and Tibet had made no real progress
during the past twelve years. In these circumstances, he
had no alternative but to compel the observance of the
boundary as prescribed by the Convention ; and until
matters as to trade had been placed on a satisfactory
footing, he must continue to insist on the boundary being
observed, though any proposals which the Chinese
Resident would make for the improvement of trade
relations would receive careful consideration, and Mr.
White had been instructed to discuss with the Com-
missioners appointed by the Amban any suggestions which
they might put forward.
As a fact, the Commissioner never did meet Mr.
White. Mr. Ho was prevented by ill-health " from pro-
ceeding to Gantok. Then he was recalled to Lhasa.
Then the Chinese Resident himself was to be replaced,
and the new one would not reach Lhasa till the following
summer. And so on, with the usual and unfailing
excellent reasons for doing nothing.
But, in the meanwhile, the new factor in the situation
was assuming significant proportions and causing the
Government of India anxiety. I have already related
how the Dalai Lama was sending missions to the Czar,
with autograph letters to the Russian Chancellor, at the
very moment when he was declining all communications
from the Viceroy of India. And now, from a totally
different quarter, came rumours that China was making a
secret agreement with Russia in regard to Tibet.
