352 NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHINA
to get us to accept payment in India instead of in Tibet.
The 'Tibetan Sha-pé being in Calcutta at the time, we did
not raise any difficulty about accepting payment of the
first instalment there. But when the question of the
payment of the second instalment arose, the Government
of India pointed out that under the 'Treaty it should be
paid at such place as the British Government might
indicate, whether in Tibet or in the British districts of
Darjiling or Jalpaiguri. Permission had been given to
pay the first instalment at Calcutta, as the Tibetan
Councillor happened to be there at the time, but the

Chinese Government, and payment by telegraphic transfer
was agreed to. The third instalment was also received in
Calcutta. So the Chinese obtained their second point also.
The third point which they tried to make in their
policy of excluding the Tibetans, was to get us to receive
the indemnitydirect from them instead of from the 'Tibetans.

by telegraphic transfer without the intervention of the
Tibetans." But the Government of India recommended

should not be permitted, as their proposal seemed to

the Tibetans from relations with us.
His Majesty's Government, however, considered that
the formality of payment through a Tibetan representative
was 64 a comparatively immaterial point," and that if China
was to make further pretensions we should not be pre-
judiced by the concession.
Later on, however, as the Chinese had been obstructive
in other matters, and the second instalment had not yet
been paid, both Mr. Morley and Sir Edward Grey
adopted the proposal of the Government of India that
payment to the Trade Agent through a Tibetan official at
Gyantse should be required, and arrangements recently
