RENEWED PLEDGES TO RUSSIA 201
ment on any modifications which . might be suggested by
the circumstances, I should have been able to conclude
with both the Chinese and 'Tibetans a treaty which my
own Government as well as they would have accepted.
The Russian Government now began again to refer
to 'Tibetan affairs. On April 13 Lord Lansdowne had
assured the Russian Ambassador* that nothing had
happened to modify the objects with which we had
originally determined to send Colonel Younghusband's
Mission into 'Tibetan territory." And on June 2,f the
Ambassador having on several occasions expressed a hope
that our policy towards Tibet would not be altered by
recent events, Lord Lansdowne informed him in writing

they announced to the Government of India that they
were clearly of opinion that this step should not be
allowed to lead up to the occupation of 'Tibet, or to
permanent intervention in 'Tibetan affairs. They stated
that the advance was to be made for the sole purpose of
obtaining satisfaction, and that as soon as reparation had
r been obtained, withdrawal would be effected. They added
~+ that they were not prepared to establish a permanent
~i mission in Tibet, and that the question of enforcing trade
facilities in that country was to be considered in the light
of this decision." G6 I am now able to tell you," continued
Lord Lansdowne, that His Majesty's Government still
adhere to the policy thus described, though it is obvious
that their action must to some extent depend upon the
conduct of the Tibetans themselves, and that His Majesty's
Government cannot undertake that they will not depart
in any eventuality from the policy which now commends
itself to them. They desire, however, to state in the most
emphatic terms that, so long as no other Power endeavours
to intervene in the affairs of Tibet, they would not attempt
either to annex it, to establish a protectorate over it, or
in any way to control its internal administration."
'Phis, in the sequel, was to be a clinching fetter on the
