SOME CLAUSES AGREED TO 287
of future extension. The Resident added that their
objections were frivolous, and trade-marts were to their
advantage. To the establishment of marts at Gyantse
and Gartok they agreed, and the discussion having now
lasted two hours, and I having told the A urban that we
had done about as much as it was possible to do in one
day, he dismissed them.
The next day the Ti Rimpoche, the Tongsa Penlop,
and the Nepalese representative came to see me. The
Ti Rimpoche said that there was a good deal, of opposition
to the clause regarding opening other trade-marts in
future. The Tibetans did not wish to be bound by any-
thing in regard to the future. I said it was really the
least important sentence in the whole Convention. It
secured nothing definite for us. It did not say, for
instance, that after ten years a third trade-mart should be
opened, but merely that the matter should be considered.
rF Now, however, that the matter had, in the last official
I interview with the Amban, been put forward in official
it discussion by the Tibetan Council, I was bound to main-
tain the sentence. While I did not expect that they
!! should now accede to the future opening of trade-marts, I
could not accept their refusal to open them. The matter
must remain, as stated in the draft Convention, one for
a future consideration.
The Ti Rimpoche then again dwelt upon the im-
possibility of paying what he considered so heavy an
indemnity. He said, laughing, that we must remember
the losses which not only we, but their own troops, had
inflicted on the country. I repeated my old arguments as
to the unfairness of saddling India with the whole cost of
a war necessitated by the folly and stupidity of Tibetans.
It was bad enough to impose on India half the cost, but
anything more than that would be a great injustice. The
Ti Rimpoche said that we were putting on the donkey a
greater load than it could possibly carry. I replied that I
was not asking the donkey to carry the whole load in one
journey. It could go backwards and forwards many
times, carrying a light load each journey. The Ti
Rimpoche laughed again, and asked what would happen if
