Owingto the fighting between Tibetans and Chinese in the West and North, and thecomplete collapse of the Chinese Government, the situation is most distressing.The officials and foreigners of Batang have worked night and day in the interestsof peace, and the British Consul is now at Chamdo with General Liu working fora peaceful settlement. All the available money of the Tibetans, the Chinese andthe foreigners has been used up by the Chinese officials as loans or taken by forcedirectly or indirectly. Even in the case of immediate peace, unless money is sentinto Batang to pay the soldiers and return borrowed money, unspeakable distressis upon us all. I therefore beg you to do what you can to relieve this distressingsituation. The situation is very dangerous for all, and many are dead and dying ofstarvation. I again in the interests of all beg you to bring the matter to the noticeof any official who is in a position to help. PLATE XXXI ?«iite. ^
