370 THE ATTITUDE OF THE TIBETANS
Batang would exasperate the people and provoke a general
rebellion.
The Chinese official view of these transactions is given
in a joint memorial from the General and the Viceroy to
the Throne. The memorial stated that Feng recognized
that unless the power of the Lamas, who had absolute
control of the tribesmen, was reduced, there was certain
to be serious opposition to the measures of reform he
proposed to introduce. He accordingly requested that
the old law limiting the number of priests should be put

officers constituted, he said, a serious danger, because the
whole country might be raised thereby.
With more information before him, Mr. Litton wrote,
on August 12, that the reason why the great lamaseries
which in the previous May, when there were no Chinese
troops at Atentse, had refused to join the Batang in-
surgents had now risen against the Chinese was to be
sought in the violence and extortion of the Chinese
Prefect. He had been at Atentse since the end of M ay
