Tibet and Turkestan : vol.1 |

the brute throughout the world,—such would be
the awakening of Tibet by China.
Summarising, we may say that Russian military
occupation of Tibet is almost incredible; that if ac-
complished, it must be done across the corpse of the
world's Chinese policy; that, if extended against
India, it could result in nothing but a massacre of
such Russo-Tibetan forces as might be entrapped in
the Himalayas; that mere intrigue could produce,
if, incredibly, it produced anything at all, only some
abortive effort even less serious than the imagined
movement under Russian leadership; that there is
as yet no known evidence of Russian anti-British
''intrigue''; that in either case the imagined attack
upon India from Tibet could be foreknown through
a moderately efficient secret service; that it could
be met when precipitated with far less expenditure
of energy and of treasure (practically no lives are
involved in either case) than the Younghusband ex-
pedition has involved; that the maintenance of en-
forced trade-privilege will result in absurdly small
commercial advantage and ominously large political
irritation. The course actually pursued has con-
firmed the Tibetans in their fears of British conquest;
the Afghans in their blackest suspicions; the Rus-
sians in their charges of British duplicity'; and the
world at large in its suspicion that brute force, not
justice, must be the protection of any cause what-
ever. Against such evil effects there is not now
any righteous remedy except that known aforetime
—confession and restitution.
