political device from the Chino-Tibetan point of view cannot
be conceived.

But the permanence of the new conditions in Tibet does not depend on
China. If the Tibetans think they are still able to flout us, they will
do so, and one pretext will serve as well as another. But if they have
learnt that our displeasure is dangerous they will take care not to
provoke it again.

The success or failure of the recent expedition depends on the
impression we have left on the Tibetans. If that impression is to be
lasting, we must see that our interests are well guarded in Lhasa, or in
a few months we may lose the ground we gained, with what cost and danger
to ourselves only those who took part in the expedition can understand.
