The Counselor of Embassy in China (Peck) to the Secretary of State

118. Note dated November 29 has been received from the Foreign Office reading in translation as follows:

“I have the honor to recall that because of his attempted revolt against the nation the National Government has issued an explicit [Page 456] order that Yin Yu-keng, administrative superintendent of the Luanchow-Shanhaikwan area of Hopei Province, be dismissed from his post and arrested for punishment. All of his activities while he was administrative superintendent of the Luanchow-Shanhaikwan and Chunhsien-Chunyun areas which have not been approved by the former Political Affairs Adjustment Commission of the Executive Yuan at Peiping, the former Peiping branch of the National Army Military Affairs Commission and the Hopei Provincial Government, and all of his activities after his rebellion should be considered as of no effect.”
