CHIANG KAI-SHEK'S RESIGNATION DENIED

AUTHORITATIVE Chautemps Succeeds In Forming A Cabinet

STATEMENT

TO "TELEGRAPH"

Generalissimo Not To Quit His Post

RUMOURS SCOTCHED

A high official source close to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek made an important and exclusive statement to the Telegraph this morning regarding certain rumours affecting the Generalissimo.

Since the arrival of Madame Chiang Kai-shek in this Colony rumours have persistently surrounded her visit with an aura of mystery and suspicion, despite the distinguished visitor's statement to the Press, saying she was here for health reasons.

A definite and categorical denial of these and their rumours was given the Telegraph this morning.

There is no political reason]. whatever attached to the visit

to Hongkong of Madame Chiang Chinese

Kai-shek, it was reiterated.

Rumours that "Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was negotiat-. ing peace terms were, the Telegraph was officially inform- ed, as equally unfounded as a rumour that he intended to quit his high post.

"It is emphatically stated, once and for all, that Generalis- simo Chiang Kai-shek will re- main at his high post," the Telegraph was informed.
