Tibet
Sir,—lt is easy enough to admit Mr Douglas Dillon’s words “Tibet another Hungary,” with quite opposite conclusions. For Mr Chan’s graphic description is remarkably akin to the glaring admissions made in the United Nations report on Hungary, pages six to nine, showing how the situation had degenerated to a shambles when Kadar took over. Even more remarkable, it is also very like the account given in the twelfth edition of the Britannica “Encyclopedia,” in which it declares Tibet was in a condition of turmoil for 12 months 1911-12. following the failure of the Sun Yat-sen revolution to defend its gains. So all goes back to the same sorry muddle of more than 30 years strife and slaughter.—Yours, etc., COLONEL PRIGG. April 13. 1959.
