terference be laid? What check exists now against
the dreadful Dordjieff which did not exist before
the raid? "The treaty exists," replies the Indian
Office, "and now, if we hear further rumours
of intrigue, we shall have, out of our treaty, a *casus
belli.*"
But you have just made a war without a treaty—
you made it *at your will*, alleging only absurd ru-
mours as your excuse—and such rumours will again
be created for you or by you in the future as in the
past. Indeed, *they are much more to be expected now*
than ever before. Now, as never before, the Tibe-
tans may be led to give ear to him who might be-
guile them with promise of protection from your
blood-stained hands. And, without supervision at
Lhasa, without nearby force ever threatening pun-
ishment, the nervousness, the distrust, the furtive
hope of the Tibetans, co-operating with your own
suspicions and enforced ignorance, must create
troublesome situations which were impossible be-
fore the raid.
Occasions for misunderstanding will further arise
from the presence of unwelcome traders at the marts
which the Tibetans are required to establish, and
especially from the attempted disorganisation of the
tea-trade, now the source of a considerable part of
the revenue of the governing class. The indemnity
has been reduced from seventy-five annual pay-
ments, aggregating Rs. 7,500,000, to twenty-five
annual payments aggregating Rs. 2,500,000. The
occupation of Chumbi Valley has been reduced from
a definite period of seventy-five years, to a minimum
of three years. But the door is cunningly left open
