ANGI.O-RUSSIAN AGREEMENT 379
Government." This engagement was not, however, to
exclude the direct relations between British Commercial
Agents and the Tibetan authorities provided for in
Article V. of the Convention between Great Britain and
Tibet of September 7, 1904, and confirmed by the Con-
vention between Great Britain and China of April 27,
1906 ;" nor was it to modify the engagements entered

granted, similar or equivalent concessions " were to be
granted to the British Government—that is to say, we
were not precluded from ourselves acquiring any of
these concessions if, at any time, we should want them ;
but the Russians were precluded from obtaining them
until our consent had been given. This was the position
under the Lhasa Treaty. Under the Anglo - Russian
Agreement we have bound ourselves not to try to get any
of these concessions. Out of deference to Russia, we had
