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-

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,
