286 THE NEGOTIATIONS
agree to point by point. I then addressed the Tibetans in
regard to Clause IX., which was the one I understood
they had least objection to. I explained to them that by
it we had not the least desire to supplant China in the
proposed the Resident should sign on behalf of the
Chinese Government, and China was not included in the
term foreign Power." We were not placing a British i
Resident here at Lhasa, and we were not asking for any
railway or other concessions. What we asked in this i
clause was merely what was in accordance with their t

They replied that they did not want to have anything

Gyantse, and from the frontier to Gartok, should be kept 1
in repair. We did not expect new roads to be con- i

trade purposes.
The sentence regarding the opening of more trade-

out, however, that we were merely asking them to con-
sider this, and not to decide on it now. I said we might
reasonably have now demanded a mart here, at Lhasa
itself, and in half a dozen other places, and I could not
permit them to refuse merely considering the question

recognized in the Adhesion Agreement, which it was
