SINO-INDIAN TRADE TREATY

T4>e: Chinese . Govern-
meat has written once
again to India for the
■igning of a trade treaty
on' Tibet. China baa
suggested that the trade
agreement and the border
dispute ''were two sepa-
rate matter! and the trade
agreement should be con-
cluded now." This atand
of the Chineie show
that they are keen on
reviving the existing trade
treaty. Sri Nebru has
made it dear several
times that the existing
treaty cr.nnot be revved
because China- has failed
to. honour the terms of
the old treaty and has
oommited aggression on
Indian territory- It has
to be seen why Chinese
are stressing much for
the revival of the trade
treat?. It is welknown
that China has not been
able to do much in Tibet
and today Chinese rule
over a territory without
its original people.

As far aa the Treaty is
oonoerned, Government of
' India is the best judge and
all the points favourable
or aga out must be con-

sidered before anew treaty

is finally accepted or the
offer rejected
