Sir,

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,

HONG KONG
27th December, 1928.
In continuation of my secret despatch of
30th November, 1928, I have the honour to inform
you that the post of Chairman of the Kuangtung
Provincial Council relinquished by Marshal Li Chai-
sum has now been definitely accepted by General Chan
Ming-shu who took up his new appointment on 19th
December. The most natural interpretation of this
action would seem to be that General Chan is content
to live on anicable terms with the Kwangsi group.
He is reported to have resigned his Command of the
Eleventh Army in favour of one General Tseung Kwong-
nai retaining only five hundred men as a personal
body guard and to intend to devote himself in future
to Civil Affairs. As Commissioner of Reconstruction
in South West Kuangtung General Chan has discharged a
difficult task with some success and in road
construction in particular Hainan is said to be well
ahead of the rest of the province.

Twelve months have now elapsed since the
return of Marshal Li to Canton following tho
