A wook after the announcement of the entry of Chinese troops into Tibet, the invading forces were today reported to be only slightly over 200 miles from Lhasa, the seat of the Dalai Lama's Government.
to
Reports reaching the Indian Government today said that Chinese regulars and irregulars, composed of Tibetan "libera- tion" units, had captured Lhodzong and had pushed on Shobando, 250 miles from Lhasa. Lhodzong, situated at an altitude of 13,140 feet and 120 miles east of the Chinese- Tibetan frontier, fell on Sunday, October 22, immediately after the "invasion" was made known to the world, the reports said.
Five days later the Tibetan army advanced towards Shobando, a rest- ing place on the Chinese-Tibetan caravan route, 25 miles east of Lhodzong- Tibetan troops have fallen back on Pembaga, 50 miles further cast and situat- ed at a height of 13,650 feet.

to be little doubt, however, that If the Chinese Com- munist armies have not already invaded the buffer state, they are about to do so. The latest version of the invasion is that the penetrating troops consist of Tibetans led by Chinese Communist officers. The story sounds extravagant, but it need not entirely be discounted. It is conceivable that the Chinese Communists could have trained a relatively small army of Tibetan dissidents from across the frontier and to have sent them into their native land as a sort of expeditionary force, paying the way for an easy take-over in due Courao by Chinese troops and political commissary. By such tactics Peklog might feel it could successfully propagate the idea that Tibet had been "Uberated" by ardent, nationalist Tibetans and that any future Peking Influence in the con- trol and administration of the country would be in answer to "invitations" and "appeals" from these "liberators". Some evidence of Communist Infiltration into Tibet during recent years is available. - Professor Li Yu-I, who returned to Hong- kong as long ago as March, 1948, after spending three and a half years in Tibet declared that Lamas, trained in Blongolia by Russians, were penetrating the famaseries and endeavouring to influence other lamas with pro-Communist propa. ganda. It is conceivable that they met with some success in this mission, and that aince the Chinese Communista gained political control of the China mainland, this influence has been further extended. It was Professor Li's opinion that the Tibetan authorities possessed an army
good enough only, for patrolling the frontiers and, that "a third Power could penetrate Tibet and do anything it wishes" This seems to be the concen the Peking government has reached, for it clearly balleves a fait accompli ta'a
matter and something which simple nelther world ́oplülən nor United NationS reaction can prevent, India, the other third Power most affected by a change in the Tibetan alatu quo la beginning to adopt a curious half-hearted attitude to the situation. Sir Benegal Narsing Rau, India's permanent delegate to the United Nations has, for example, expressed the view that if the General Assembly had elected the Chinese Communists to the United Nations the invasion of Tibet might not have taken place. This is specious reasoning and is certainly not companionable to the eaclier official Indian note to Peking which virtually presented an ultimatum to Mao Tse-tung either withhold action against Tibet or India will oppose the recognition of your government in the United Nations. It cannot be to India's advantage to have, a Communist-dominated government or Tibet along her borders, unless the Indian government has changed its mind about international Communism. Considered Bialements Huch as these made by a spokesman of Sir Benegal Rau's standing do India's prestige no good on such grave issues na the 'violation of a country's in- dependence. Whatever propaganda Peking might use for the purpose of trying to seduce world, opinion, there can bo no justification for the presence of Chinese Communists in Tibet as rulers of the country. It is true that · China was grunted suzerainty over Tibet under the Anglo-Russian Convention of 1907, but it is generally conceded that this Convention lapsed with the outbreak of the Russian revolution and it is historically a fact that since 1912, Tibet has been politically Independent of China Tho present "ilberntion" of Tibet, therefore, is nothing but another camouflage for the expansion of international Communism and it must be treated by the world' aa berfously as the onslaught against South Korea and. the Communist bid for power in Indo- China,
