lead to occupation, and that we would withdraw from
Tibetan territory when reparation had been secured.
It had been hoped that it would be possible to alter
the Treaty before I left Lhasa, but it was clear in the
circumstances that it was not desirable that I should have
postponed my departure.
As to the separate agreement, the question of claiming
for the trade agents at Gyantse the right of access to
Lhasa was carefully considered before His Majesty's
Government decided that no such condition was to be
included in the terms of the settlement, and a subsequent

of the problems which confronted them on the spot, to
forget the necessity of conforming to the instructions
which they had received from His Majesty's Government,
who had more immediately before them the interests of
the British Empire as a whole.
Such were the final views and orders of the Secretary
of State upon the Mission. The reasons for my action
