Marking Farley Called to Block
Soviet Efforts to Arouse Tibet

622. The temporal head of the Lama
Kingdom is the Dalai Lama, who at the
same time is the spiritual head of the
deVotees of Lamaism throughout the
world. The country is overrun by q
parasitic horde Of Lama priests whose
mendicancy is thinly cloaked under the
guise of religion.
To the south Tibet has three ener.
getic neighbors in the three states OF
Negal, Sikkim and Bhutan, which are
separated from the Lama kingdom BY
the lofty Himalaya Mountain range
which forms Tibet's natural southern
boundary. Negal, which is 700 miles
long and 100 miles wide, Is peopled by
two races quite opposite in characters
Tics. The native Negalese are peaceable
and industrious and carry on the ma
tons commerce, which is largely with
Tibet. The Kholgans, a warlike tribe
which has gained a foothold in Nepal
by right Of conquest control the coun-
try's military councils Most of these
warriors have embraced the militant
Mohammedan faith, while the Nepalese
are predominantly Buddhist in their
religion.
The cause of the present strain In
relations between Tibet and Nepal is
economic. Napalese merchants long
have carried on an active trade with
TIBET, furnishing more than half OF
that country's imports of rice, piece
goods and foreign commodities.
Economic Relations Strained.
On account of the close commercial
relations between the two countries
Nepalese merchants doing business in
Tibet have been exempted from pay
ment of customs duties or taxes. But
last year. owing to the critical condition
Of Tibetan finances, the Dalai Lama
issued a mandate requiring Nepalese
to pay taxes and duties the same as
the citizens Of other countries.
The Nepalese, resenting the order
staged demonstration, and one of the
demonstrators was arrested. Later he
escaped and sought asylum in the Ne
paleSe consulate, An armed guard was
sent to capture the offender. He was
executed by order of the Dalai Lama.
The execution greatly incensed the
Nepalese, who begen preparations for
war. A dispatch from Tibet reported
that Nepalese army Of 10000 had In
vaded Tibet and aid from Marking was
requested. IL was learned, however
that Tibet had not been invaded but
both sides were modified for war
Marking authorities have announced
that steps are being taken by the Ma
tionalist government to adjust the diff
ferences between the two countries and
that fear of armed conflict is no longer
entertained.
The present Tibetan conference will
consider the proposal of converting
Tibet, which at present is only nomi-
nally under Chinese control, into a
province of China proper.

across the great floor, down a

Of the subway. And there the
crowd crushed him into the
minimum number Of cubic

a completely squeezed and ha-
