SUGGESTION BY GEN. DOIHARA
Pelping, December 19.
The first attempt of the Hopel-Chahar Political Council to- assert authority in North China met with a rebuff from the Japanese military authorities. The delegates who approached Major-General Dollara with a view to négotiating for the aboli- tion of the East Hopel autonomous regime are reported to have met a counter-demand that the status of the Council should be altered in order to make it more independent from Nanking.
Major General Dolbara zuzrested that the Connell should be come an "anti-communist self-governing Council," thereby pro- claiming sympathy with two Japanese objectives, namely a com- mon Sino-Japanese front against the Reds and further divorce of North China from the centre-Reuter.
