414 SOME CONCLUSIONS
tenant-Governor who had successfully ruled a great
province in India told me he was convinced they looked
upon him as a clerk, because they were always so " damned
polite " to him.
Especially at the present time, too, men who are
actually holding high positions in India should be taken
notice of and brought forward when they come to England.
The old East India Company used to take great pains in
this respect, realizing the importance of their agents being
known among the best men in England, and having the
opportunity of gaining their confidence, and realizing, too,
that for the efficient discharge of their duties in India they
should be armed with the prestige which high public recog-

and this when, as at no previous time, it requires all the
prestige that is its rightful due. The abandonment of
Lord Curzon in his controversy with Lord Kitchener, and
of Sir Bampfylde Fuller in his efforts to suppress sedition
in Eastern Bengal at its rise, have been severe blows to
the Viceroyalty and Lieutenant-Governorships, which have
to be amended.
Lastly, there is scope for much fuller personal inter-
course between local officers and superiors in India itself
and between India and England. Facility of communica-
tion is not taken sufficient advantage of in this way.
To refer again to this case of Tibet. During all that time
occupied in the correspondence leading up to the Mission
an Indian official, thoroughly well posted in the local con-
ditions and with the views of the Government of India
upon them, might have been sent to Peking, St. Peters-
burg, and London, to put the Indian and local view before
our Ambassadors and the Home Government, to be
informed in return of the Chinese and Russian and
Imperial views, and to be the bearer of the final decision
thereon of the Imperial Government, which he could
explain with much greater effectiveness than is achieved
by letters and telegrams. An advantage, additional to the
better settlement of the actual question in hand, would be
