Shanghai, January 25, 1932—6
p.m.
[Received 8:30 p.m.]
[Received 8:30 p.m.]
This Consulate General has been informed by Eugene Chen that both he and Sun Fo have resigned and that Chiang Kai-shek and Wang Ching-wei are in control at Nanking. He resigned because he claims that Chiang Kai-shek insists on following a passive policy. Had he remained in office Mr. Chen intended to implement article 16 of the League Covenant.
Repeated to the Legation.
