424 SOME CONCLUSIONS
now have kicked them, and their faces are saved. What
we have to do is to make them realize that to proceed any
farther will obviously bring them to unpleasant contact
with us. It might conceivably drive us into going to
Lhasa again. We have been there once, and could go
there again. We ought, therefore, to be able to make
the Central Government see that their best chance of
quiet on their frontier—which is, after all, even more
essential to them than to us—is to send to Lhasa a
Resident of the Yutai type rather than of the Chang and
Chao description. As long as the Chinese showed them-
selves willing to co-operate with us, we have for a long
series of years shown ourselves ready to co-operate with
them, and we are ,just as interested in their faces being
properly saved as they are. And if they would send a
Resident with the general hint to get on " with us, there
would be quiet in Tibet without their dignity being
interfered with. On our side, to insure smooth working,
we might send one or other of the officers on the frontier
to Peking or to Chengtu to talk matters over with our
representatives in China, find out where the shoe is
pinching, and acquire hints as to the methods of dealing
with the Chinese to avoid friction. Or a Consular officer
from China might visit our trade-marts and give the
Indian Government suggestions. Anyhow, in these or
similar ways we might do what we can to remove any
unnecessary local causes of friction while we are press-
ing the Central Government for a more conciliatory
manner to be observed in the Chinese officials sent to
Tibet.
As regards the Tibetans, our difficulty will always be
to keep up direct relations with them without interfering
with the legitimate and desirable authority which the
Chinese should always possess. The Chinese forfeited
their right to be the sole medium of communication
with the Tibetans by their total inability to get them to
withdraw from Sikkim in 1886, and to induce them to
observe the Treaty which they asked us to make with
