346. General Lo Cho-ying, formerly Governor [of] Kwangtung, arrived Mukden November 11 as Vice Director President’s NE Headquarters, altho some sources state he has been appointed as Director. Persistent rumors Chen Cheng, who has been ill with stomach ulcers, will be relieved and replaced by Lo. Chen may remain as titular head for time, but many observers believe actual replacement will be made as soon as possible without causing loss face by Chen.
Sent Embassy, repeated Department as 346 and Changchun.
