MEMORANDUM.

Mr. Lan Wan-pak, who has been Marshal u Pei-fu's

representative in South China for the last three years, and who was the Chairman of the Provincial Assembly of Kwongtung

Then he learnt that Mr. Kotewall was unable to go to Hankow, he made other arrangements for securing the desired information which he has now obtained from independent
