SPEECH TO LHASA DELEGATES 119
had just cause to complain that in all these years, owing
to the persistent obstruction of the Tibetans, the Chinese
had been unable to perform their pledge.
And the forbearance which the Viceroy had shown in
countermanding the mission had met with a bad return on
the part of the Tibetans, for they had proceeded, without

trade with the traders who came there from India ; and,
lastly, that they had repudiated the treaty which had been
