252 THE TERMS
exercise as much control as I could possibly bring to bear
to keep down any feelings of hastiness or exasperation,
which might ruin our chances of securing the eventual
good-will of the people.
I had, then, too much before me and still too much
anxiety in regard to the very immediate present, to yet
feel much elation on our first arrival at Lhasa, and my
chief thought was how to start the negotiations without
showing in what a hurry I really was.
Before, however, describing the course of the negotia-
tions which were now to take place, I must give an
account of the terms which I had been directed to make
with the Tibetans, and the considerations on which those
demands were based. Already, before I left Gyantse, I
had received from the Government of India a copy of the
despatch, dated .Tune 30,* containing their views on the
terms which they had sent to the Secretary of State. I
was to understand that the proposals contained therein
had not yet been approved by His Majesty's Govern-
ment, but I was, without committing Government, to
ascertain how the Tibetan Government would regard
them.
It was the terms contained in these proposals—with
the exception of asking for the establishment of a Resident
at Lhasa—of which I informed the 'I'ongsa Penlop, and
asked him, as I have mentioned previously, to com-
municate to the Dalai Lama.
The first point on which the Government of India laid
stress in their communication to the Secretary of State was
the acceptance by the Tibetans of an accredited British
agent in their country, preferably in Lhasa itself. The argu-
ments against such a measure were largely based on the
declarations of His Majesty's Government, and on con-
sideration of international policy. And apart from such
considerations, the Government of India declared them-
selves deeply impressed by the grave responsibilities
which they must incur by placing a resident agent at the
capital of Tibet. Still, they felt it their duty reluctantly
to assume the burden of that measure.
