The Consul General at Nanking (Peck) to the Secretary of State

No. D–287

Nanking, June 10, 1932.
[Received July 18.]

Sir: I have the honor to enclose herewith a copy of a press release⁵⁰ in regard to Manchuria issued by the Chinese Government under date of June 7, but sent to me by the Foreign Office today.

The most important statement in the release seems to be that the National Government refuses to recognize as legal the appointment of officials of the Chinese Eastern Railway by the “Bogus Government” in Manchuria.

Respectfully yours,

Willys R. Peck
