REPRESENTATION TO CHINESE 131
of the position of Khamba Jong, they had all formally
agreed to send delegates to meet Mr. White and myself
there, and the continued refusal of these delegates even to

On September 1 Mr. Ho came to me to say he had
been recalled to Lhasa owing to ill-health. I took the
