The Ambassador in Japan (Grew) to the Secretary of State
[Received June 26—9:30 a.m.]
141. 1. I am reliably informed that negotiations for a settlement of the Chahar incident have now been successfully concluded and that an oral agreement has been reached between General Doihara [Page 278] and General Chin Teh-chun. This agreement will probably be signed either today or tomorrow.
2. The agreement consists of the following demands all of which were accepted by the Chinese:
- (a)
- Resignation of General Sung as Provincial Chairman.
- (b)
- Removal of the 132nd Division from Chahar.
- (c)
- Dismissal of Chief of Staff of 132nd Division and the head of the military police.
- (d)
- An official apology to be made.
- (e)
- All anti-Japanese activities to be suppressed.
- (f)
- Chinese troops along the line Dolonor–Kuyuan–Tushikou–Huailai and at Yenching to be permanently removed elsewhere.
- (g)
- All anti-Japanese organizations to be disbanded.
- (h)
- Protection for all Japanese travelers to Inner Mongolia.
- (i)
- Kuomintang headquarters to be disbanded.
3. An incident reported in the press this morning involving an attack by some 500 soldiers of Sung’s army upon about 40 “Manchukuo” frontier guards near Tushikou has not yet been reported to the War Office here by the Kwantung Army but my informant believes that in any event this incident will in no way affect the agreement already reached and will be attended to locally by the Kwantung Army. He further stated that for the most part Sung’s troops were well trained and disciplined and that only this detachment stationed near Tushikou was causing trouble.
