10th February, 1933.
Sir,
I am directed by Secretary Sir John Simon to invite
reference to Foreign Office letter No. F 841/16/10 of the 8th
February enclosing a copy of a telegnun from His Majesty s
Minister in China regarding a further visit received from the
representatives of the Panshan Lama*
2. As regards the presents delivered by these
representatives for Sir Miles Lampson and Mr. Teichman, to
telegram. Sir John Simon would suggest that, as it would
clearly be impossible to return the presents to the Panshan
Lama without causing great offence, the presents should be
held at the disposal of the Government of India.
3. I am to request, therefore, that Secretary Sir Samuel
Hoare may be so good as to enquire by telegraph of the
Government of India whether this suggestion is agreeable to
them and, if so, what are their wishes as regards the disposal
of the presents and whether they share the view of Sir John
Simon that a presentation should be made to the Panshan Lama
in return. S
4. In that case I am to invite suggestions as to what
form the presentation should take. Sir John Simon assumes
that the Government of India would be prepared to detray its
cost. If it were agreeable to the Government of India, the
presentation could be made at Peking before the ianshan Lama
leaves for Mongolia. It seems, indeed, most desirable that nc
'
undue delay should occur in making the presentation, and I am
therefore to request that the matter may be treated as urgent.
which reference is made in the fourth paragraph of the
I am, etc.,
(Sgd.) C.W. Orde.
The Under-Secretary of State,
India Office
The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors.
