374. THE ATTITUDE OF THE TIBETANS
though previously this had not been done. On the other
hand, the custom of making annual donations in kind to the
Lamas was to be abolished. So that the Lamas, while
they had to pay more, were to receive less. The Lamas were
not to interfere in the administration of the districts by the
Chinese local authorities. And as a final thrust at the
priestly power, it was pointed out to the people of Batang
