India and Tibet : vol.1 |

Satow's, both very able and experienced diplomatists, was
justified by the event. It was here that the Chinese
began their series of efforts again to thrust themselves in
between us and the Tibetans, and prevent that direct
relationship between us which, through the futility of the
Chinese themselves, we had been compelled at so much
cost to establish. If we had stood firm at the start on this
point, which was one on which we had a perfect right to
stand fast, much future trouble might have been saved.
The Government of India concurred in this view, and
thought that the annual payment by Tibetans in Tibet,

of the indemnity had been made on the date fixed. They
proposed, therefore, to inform the Tibetan Government
that they held them responsible for the payment of the
indemnity under the terms of the Treaty.
Mr. Morley, who had succeeded Mr. Brodrick,
approved of the proposal, but added that this would not
