would assume the defensive rather than break
the necks of its armies in attacking the French
fortresses which, even If captured, would entail

FRICTION OYER TIBET.
Mr. Brodrick's Objections to Young
husbands Indemnity Plan.

London. Jan. 29.-A voluminous Blue Book Is
sued on Tibetan affairs has unusual interest as
revealing strong friction between the govern
ment and Colonel YOunghusband concerning the
indemnity, which Younghusband fixed at So
10000 payable in seventy-fve annual install
ments, which would have resulted in British
occupation of the Chumbi Valley for seventy
five years. Mr.. Brodrick, Secretary of State
for India, on September 13 telegraphed sug-
gesting a reduction to $1,250O00. Colonel
Younghusband's response to this and other gov
ernment protests strongly deprecated alteration
of the treaty. as tending to defeat the object of
the mission.
A long correspondence between Mr.. Brodrick
and Lord Curzon ended in the government ac-
cepting the situation regards the S315OOOO
indemnity, but refusing to permit the occupa-
ton of the Chumbi Valley beyond three years,
protesting that Colonel Younghusband had
framed the convention in defiance OF expressed
instructions. the governments policy being to
avoid interference in the internal affairs Of
Tibet, and stpulating that, should the Tibetans
break the treaty, it would be necessary 10 re-
consider the governments policy.
The Blue Book shows that Lord Lansdowne
last spring gave Russia emphatic assurance
that so long other power endeaVoTed TO
intervene in the affairs of Tibet the British gov
ernment would neither attempt to annex, estab-
its internal administration. 1t further appears
that after the mission returned the Indian gov
ernment as an ''act of grace reduced the in
demnity TO S1.250,0OO.
