lities afforded to the de-
legation to proceed on
this mission.
Asked what steps the
delegation proposed taking
in pleading Tibet's case,
Mr. Dbondup said the
aim was to request the
U.N. to evolve a practical
solution for a peaoeful
settlement between the
Chinese and Tibetans. He
emphasized that the dele-
gation did not want mere
condemnation by the V.N.
for aggressive acts com-
mitted by the Chinese in
Tibet. In spite of past
atrocities Tibetans by and

grudge against the Chi-
nese but enly wanted to
be free from foreign do-

did not wish to prolong

was a just and peaceful
solution to the Tibetan
problem.
Asked about present
conditions in Tibet, he
said that as far as he
was aware the rigid con-
ditions there remained
unaltered with frequent
parges, and the present
food shortage and very
large influx of Chinese
settlers did little to alle-
viate general distress.
He believed that guer-
rilla aotivity continued in
Tibet but was vague about
its extent and intensity,
