BREACHES OF TREATY 347
Peking had been inspiring a policy in Tibetan affairs
which was hostile to the Treaty and to British interests.
In any case, whether the cause lay in Peking, or with
Mr. Chang, or with the Tibetans, the fact was clear that
the Treaty had not been carried out ; and the Government
of India thought it necessary to bring the matter formally
to the notice of the Secretary of State in a despatch dated
July 18, 1907. Considering what had taken place at
Gyantse, it was impossible to admit, they said, that the
Gyantse trade-mart had been effectively open during the
last few months. Our Agent had been cut off from inter-
course with the Tibetan authorities, and no adequate pro-
vision had been made for British traders having resort to
the mart. The agents whom the Lhasa Government had
nominated for the marts had not been allowed freedom of
communication with the British Trade Agent. And various
minor difficulties had arisen in connection with the open-
ing of the Gartok trade-mart. The Government of India,
therefore, suggested that the Chinese and Tibetan Govern-
ments should be formally reminded of these various
breaches of the Convention which had occurred, and
more particularly of the failure to open the marts, which
was a matter which struck at the root of the whole
Convention.
Mr. Morley thought* the situation at Gyantse con-
stituted undoubtedly a serious cause of complaint, but, in
view of the reply of the Chinese Government to the
representations recently made to them, he doubted the
expediency of making any further reference to the subject
at the moment. If when the negotiations with Mr. Chang
regarding the Trade Regulations commenced, the attitude
of the Chinese and Tibetan representative should prove
obstructive, the question would arise whether the British
representative should not be authorized to warn them that
our evacuation of the Chumbi Valley depended on a
satisfactory settlement of the matters connected with the
trade-marts being arrived at, the Chinese and Tibetan
Governments being simultaneously warned to the same
effect.
