360 NEGOTIATIONS WITH CHINA
On April 7, 1907, the Chinese Government had notified our
Minister at Peking that if the Government of India would
appoint a special representative, Mr. Chang would proceed
to Calcutta to negotiate the new Trade Regulations with
him. Sir John Jordan, in accordance with instructions
he had received, pointed out that under Article III. of
the Lhasa Convention it was the Tibetan Government
who should appoint a delegate to negotiate a revision of
the 'Trade Regulations. We were, however, willing not
to insist on negotiating these Trade Regulations exclusively
with delegates of the Tibetan Government. But before
the negotiations began a Tibetan delegate should be
appointed by the 'Tibetan Government, with full power to
negotiate and sign on behalf of the Tibetan Government
in such a manner as to bind that Government to the
settlement arrived at. This delegate should then be
associated with Mr. Chang and proceed together with
him to Simla, to negotiate there with a special representa-
tive of the Government of India.
The Chinese Government replied on May 21, sug-
gesting that 'Tibet should depute a Tibetan and India an
Indian Government official to negotiate, and that the
actions of the Tibetan representative would be subject
to the approval of Mr. Chang, and those of the Indian
representative to that of the Viceroy of India. This
was a thoroughly Chinese device to put India on a par
with Tibet and Mr. Chang on a par with the Viceroy.
AVhat reply it met with is not on record, but on July 18
the Secretary of State telegraphed to the Viceroy that he
should address to the Tibetan Government a friendly and
uncontroversial letter, notifying them of the negotiations
to be held at Simla, and requesting that their delegate
might be supplied with proper credentials. Iri carrying'
out these instructions the Viceroy telegraphed that he had
also told the British Trade Agent to give a copy of the
communication to Mr. Chang, and that the Foreign
Secretary had written a friendly letter to Mr. Chang
announcing that he, Sir Louis Dane, had been appointed
British delegate.
The Regulations were eventually signed at Calcutta
