402 THE ATTITUDE OF THE TIBETANS
Chinese Government entertained no thoughts of such a
course, which would be a contravention of the treaty
stipulations between England arid China. Mr. Max Müller
was reminded by Natung that blame was formerly imputed
to the Chinese Government because they did not enforce
observation of Treaty engagements on the part of the
Tibetans, and that the signature of the 'Trade Regulations
of 1908 by a Tibetan delegate had been insisted on by His
Majesty's Government, because they thought that Regula-
tions would otherwise not be conformed to by 'Tibetans.
He stated, as regards troops in Tibet, that none of Chao
Erh-feng's force had entered Lhasa territory, that force
being still in Derge and Chiamdo. The 2,000 men sent to
Lhasa were a separate body of troops from Szechuan, and,
beyond the Arnban's normal escort and the guard at the
post-stations, these were the only additional troops in the
country. The right to station troops in Tibet had always

reinforcements was merely to secure observance of Treaty
obligations, to protect the trade-marts, and to maintain
peace and order. The person of the Dalai Laina himself,
he assured the Minister repeatedly, was alone affected

owing to misconduct, the sixth Dalai Lama had been
removed. No action would be taken which would disturb
the Lama Church or the existing administrative system
in Tibet. It was absurd to suppose that the Chinese
Government would interfere with Lamaism, as there were
Lamaist functionaries at the Peking Court, and millions
of Lamaists among the Mongol subjects of China. With
regard to the charges that monasteries had been burnt,
one only had been destroyed by Chao Erh-feng, more than
a year previously, because a Chinese Amban had been
ambushed and killed, together with thirty of his escort, by
the Lamas.
On the receipt of the Chinese reply, Lord Morley
telegraphed to the Viceroy for the views of the Govern-
merit of India ; but at the same time he impressed on
them that they should bear in mind that it was essential
