November 15, 1919 issue

add to cart   close window

Tibet is a land of secrecy and mystery. Nobody knows actually what is happening there, whether there is peace or strife, order or misrule. From time immemorial the Chinaman will tell people he has had a finger in the Tibetan pie. This is, of course, not strictly accurate. The Chinese conquest of Tibet was not actually completed until about two hundred years ago. The Home Rule movement in Tibet grew up around the circle of the Dalai Lama, the spiritual head or pope of the country. Lama is as often as not a mere boy, so that his powers of administration were he to possess them, would undoubtedly fail into the hands of some power-seeker in his circle.
