To a deputation who urged nationalisation he Baid :---"I am quite sure that any operation of a financial character would be followed by very large demands from two entirely op posite quarters on the one hand, | from traders for lower rates; then, on the other hand, from the rail- way workers for better wages and conditions. All that prospective" improvement in net receipts which has been forecasted, and which very likely may come under existing conditions, would be more than swallowed up before the railways had been in the possession of the State a twelve- month."

On both sides of the frontier the country is ruled by native chieftains who are independent equally of Peking and Lhasa, and as China is pre- paredi to make some effort to bring them under settled govern- ment and to develop the country so as to accommodate the over- flow of Szechuan, it is as well that she should be allowed to do so, Since Chao, Erh-feng'a cccupation of the Chiamdo territory four and a half years ago, the old boundary line passing through Bamatang has been a mere fiction, and there has been no difference between the administration on the east and west sides of the imaginary line.
