350 NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHINA
Satow's, both very able and experienced diplomatists, was
justified by the event. It was here that the Chinese
began their series of efforts again to thrust themselves in
between us and the Tibetans, and prevent that direct
relationship between us which, through the futility of the
Chinese themselves, we had been compelled at so much
cost to establish. If we had stood firm at the start on this
point, which was one on which we had a perfect right to
stand fast, much future trouble might have been saved.
The Government of India concurred in this view, and
thought that the annual payment by Tibetans in Tibet,
even though China should provide the money, would be

Resident had stated that the payment of the indemnity

Tang at Calcutta was to act. Thus, said the Government
of India, as a result of the action of the Chinese, the
Treaty had been broken by the 'Tibetans, for no payment
of the indemnity had been made on the date fixed. They
proposed, therefore, to inform the 'Tibetan Government
that they held them responsible for the payment of the
indemnity under the terms of the 'Treaty.
Mr. Morley, who had succeeded Mr. Brodrick,
approved of the proposal, but added that this would not
preclude our accepting payment eventually from the
Chinese Government if agreement with them as to the
