agree to point by point. I then addressed the Tibetans in
regard to Clause IX., which was the one I understood
they had least objection to. I explained to them that by
it we had not the least desire to supplant China in the
suzerainty of Tibet. The Chinese suzerainty was fully
recognized in the Adhesion Agreement, which it was
proposed the Resident should sign on behalf of the
Chinese Government, and China was not included in the
term "foreign Power." We were not placing a British
Resident here at Lhasa, and we were not asking for any
railway or other concessions. What we asked in this
clause was merely what was in accordance with their
traditional policy. Did they agree to the clause?
They replied that they did not want to have anything
to do with foreign Powers. They would, therefore, be
able to agree to it.
The clause regarding the razing of fortifications was
then discussed, and they began to raise objections, but I cut
them short by observing that all the fortifications named
were in our hands, and would be destroyed whether they
agreed or not. The clause had been drafted by Govern-
ment before the fortifications were in our possession.
Their agreement was, therefore, merely a formality. They
said that in that case they would agree.
We then discussed at length the clauses relating to
the opening of new trade-marts. They had an idea we
wished them to make a road from Gyantse to Gartok,
and to make big roads by blasting. I assured them that
all we wanted was that the roads from the frontier to
Gyantse, and from the frontier to Gartok, should be kept
in repair. We did not expect new roads to be con-
structed by them, but existing roads kept suitable for
trade purposes.
The sentence regarding the opening of more trade-
marts in future they very strongly objected to. I pointed
out, however, that we were merely asking them to con-
sider this, and not to decide on it now. I said we might
reasonably have now demanded a mart here, at Lhasa
itself, and in half a dozen other places, and I could not
permit them to refuse merely considering the question
