prehensive schemes for all the measures to be undertaken
in Tibet, and to draft Regulations. The officials should
receive liberal salaries, and be generously rewarded for
meritorious service. They should all be permitted to bring
their families with them, and would be required to hold
their appointments for long periods. To meet the
necessary expenditure, the Board of Finance was to
provide a sum of from 400,000 to 500,000 taels every year
in order to aid in this important undertaking, and the
Viceroy of Szechuan was to give his assistance when
required, even beyond the limits of his own jurisdiction.
Sir John Jordan, as events have proved, was amply
justified in drawing attention to the significance of this
appointment of Chao Erh-feng. He was a man of both
ability and energy, but also of severity. His dealings with
the semi-independent States of Eastern Tibet will be
related in the following Chapter. Here it is important to
emphasize the facts that he was turning these States one
after another into districts directly administered by Chinese
officials, and that he was making a special set against
Lamaism*—regulating the numbers who might become
priests, curtailing the donations to monasteries, increasing
the taxes they had to pay, prohibiting the construction of
temples except by Chinese officials, and declaring the
inefficacy of the Lama's prayers—excellent reforms in
many ways, but when carried out with the severity with
which Chao was introducing them in Eastern Tibet, inevit-
ably calculated to arouse anger and suspicion at Lhasa.
Following the appointment of this high-handed Viceroy
bearing a special mandate to "reform" the Government of
Tibet appeared anti-British articles in a Lhasa newspaper,†
published by the Chinese officials and circulated through-
out Tibet. The Tibetans were exhorted not to be afraid
of Chao and his soldiers; they were not intended to do
harm to Tibetans, but "to other people." The Tibetans
were to remember how they felt ashamed when the foreign
soldiers arrived in Lhasa, and oppressed them with much
tyranny. Chinese and Tibetans must all strengthen them-
selves on this account; otherwise their common religion
