The Chargé in China (Mayer) to the Secretary of State

Peking, November 4, 1926—10 a.m.
[Received November 4—1:10 a.m.]

528. Your 254, October 30, 11 p.m. There would appear to be good ground for believing that such plans are under way with probability that P’an Fu⁴⁰ has gained support of Chang Tso-lin⁴¹ and Chang Tsung-chang⁴² by promise of 3,000,000 to each. I am keeping close watch on the matter and shall avail myself of Department’s authorization to protest if the occasion warrants.

Mayer

40. Ex-Minister of Finance.
