MOVEMENTS OF DALAI LAMA 377
This change of attitude the Government of India
attributed to fear on the part of the Lhasa authorities lest
the Dalai Lama should on his return punish them for
complaisance to our demands ; and also to expectations
that the negotiations which the Chinese Commissioner
was at the time conducting in Calcutta might result in a
material modification of the Convention in favour of
Tibet.
Any real change there might have been at this time

of an image of Buddha, a very interesting copy of Bud-
dhistical liturgy, and a piece of stuff. The message was
to the effect that the Lama had the utmost respect and
devotion for the Great White Czar," and that he looked
