CHINESE ANNEXATIONS 375
the same time screen the frontier of Szechuan. If the
Chinese Government insisted on the Chief carrying on
the succession, there would be no end to the sufferings of
the inhabitants, and other States would get drawn into the
disturbances. He therefore recommended that China
should take measures to guard against such eventualities.
It is not difficult to read between the lines of this
report. The Reform Council, in a memorial on this pro-
posal that the native State of Derge should be allowed to
adopt our civilization and come under our direct rule," said
that it was laid down in the Imperial institutes that native
Chiefs who did not govern properly, must be denounced
and punished either by the substitution of other Chiefs or by
their territory reverting to China. The present conditions
on the frontier were not the same as before, and the
Chinese must take proper measures to keep their boundaries
secure, and to put an end to tribal feuds. Derge was of
great strategical importance to Szechuan and Tibet.
The people were extremely anxious to come under Chinese
jurisdiction. Chao's proposals should therefore be acceded
if to, and the entire State of Derge be brought under
N Chinese rule." The Chief was to be allowed the here-
ditary title of captain, and to wear a button of the second
ii class and the peacock feather, and allowed about £500 a
year from the revenue of his own State. Whatever he
r6 had got out of Chao by his appeal, certainly Chao had
taken a good deal out of him.
Chao's next move was to Chiamdo, which, according
to a traveller* who was there in 1909, was not a part of
Lhasa territory, but had a Government on the Lhasa
principle, with an incarnated Lama as ruler and three
chief Lamas as his Ministers, all residing within an
enormous monastery. The whole population was said to
amount to 84,000 families, say about 420,000 people.
Chiamdo is the most important place between Ta-chien-lu
and Lhasa, and though the State sends tribute every six
years to Peking, it only did so because it received much
more valuable presents in return, and as a fact, the Chinese
