280 THE NEGOTIATIONS

oche here interpolated that they were afraid to report
anything to the Dalai Lama. I went on to say that it ►
was not fairto expect India to pay all the cost of a war P P Y 1
brought on by the foolishness of the Tibetan rulers, so we
had to ask that the Tibetans should pay part of the sum. (,
Yet even now we were not asking for more than half of
the whole cost. I was demanding Rs. 50,000 a day from
the date of the attack on the Mission till a month after
the date on which the Convention was signed. The Ti ill
Rimpoche would note that I was not asking payment from 01
the date of the Guru fight, because that fight might have ea
been due to mere foolishness on the part of the leaders, i
but from the date when the Tibetans deliberately attacked ill
the Mission at Gyantse, after I had repeatedly notified that ii
I had come to negotiate. From that date, therefore, did
we expected them to contribute to the cost of military dl
operations. ii
The Ti Rimpoche had said that the Tibetans had very iiI
little cash. If that was so, I was prepared to consider the it
question of extending the period in which the payment of 0
the indemnity could be made. I would also consider ii
whether some of it could not be paid in kind to the trade m
agent in Gyantse and the officer commanding in Chumbi. to
The Ti Rimpoche said he wished the settlement with us to ll
be fully completed now, so that we could have it over and i
be friends ; but if the Tibetans had to go on paying us an 01
indemnity for some years after, the raw would be kept up,
and friendship would be difficult. I replied that if they d
would now at once pay the indemnity, we should be only #i
too glad. But, in any case, we would not on our side i
harbour any ill-feelings towards the Tibetans, with whom ti
we had no other desire than to live on terms of friendship.

The Tongsa Penlop then said that Tibet, Nepal, and
Bhutan were bound together by the saine religion, and all 1
bordered on India. 'They ought, therefore, to look on
1
England as their friend and leader. The English had no
wish to interfere with them, but did not like anyone else
interfering. They ought to stand together, therefore, for
if one was hurt all were hurt. They could rely, however, 1
on their big neighbour England to help them in time of
