TRADE REGULATIONS REVISED 361

on April 20, 1908, by Mr. Wilton (who had taken Sir

Louis Dane's place), Mr. Chang, and the Tsarong Sha-pé.

The questions relating to extradition, the levy of Customs

duties, the export of tea from India into Tibet, and the

appointment of Chinese 'Trade Agents, with Consular

privileges, were reserved for future consideration.

By these new Regulations it was laid down that the

old Regulations of 1893 should remain in force, in so

far as they were not inconsistent with the new Regula-

tions. The boundaries of the Gyantse mart were fixed.

British subjects were allowed to lease land at the marts

for the building of houses and godowns ; the administra-

tion at the marts was to remain with the Tibetan officers,

under the Chinese officers' supervision and directions ; the

Trade Agents and Frontier Officers were to hold personal

intercourse and correspondence one with another, and the

Chinese authorities were not to prevent the British 'Trade

Agents holding personal intercourse and correspondence

with the 'Tibetan officers and people ; and British subjects

were to be at liberty to sell their goods to whomsoever

they pleased and to buy goods from whomsoever they

pleased. China engaged to afford effective police protec-

tion at the marts and along the routes, and on due fulfil-

ment of arrangements for this, Great Britain undertook

to withdraw the Trade Agents' guards at the marts and to

station no troops in Tibet, so as to remove all cause for

suspicion and disturbance among the inhabitants. In a

letter accompanying the Regulations Mr. Wilton wrote

to the Chinese and 'Tibetan delegates that the strength of

the armed guards at Gyantse and Yatung would not

exceed fifty and twenty-five respectively, and the desira-

bility of reducing these numbers even before their actual

withdrawal would be carefully considered from time to

time, as occasion might offer.

These Regulations would have been of value if they

had been observed, but even in 1910 the Indian Govern-

ment reported that the Chinese did not allow the Tibetans

to deal directly with our Agents, and once they were con-

cluded the Chinese seem to have been more engrossed

with the great forward movement which, I have stated,
