hoped that there was no question of any action on our part
in regard to Tibet which might have the effect of raising
questions of this kind. I told His Excellency that we had no
idea of annexing the country, but he was well aware that it
immediately adjoined our frontier, that we had Treaties
with the Tibetans, and a right to trade facilities. If these
were denied to us, and if the Tibetans did not fulfil their
Treaty obligations, it would be absolutely necessary that we
should insist upon our rights. His Excellency signified as-

kind, where an uncivilised country adjoined the possessions
of a civilised Power, it was inevitable that the latter should
exercise a certain amount of local predominance. Such a
predominance, as I had before explained to him, belonged to
us in Tibet. But it did not follow from this that we had any
designs upon the independence of the country.
