Tokyo, Apr. 10.
Mr. Sun Yen-erh, former Secretary of the Chinese Embassy under the Nationalist Government has been appointed the new diplomatic envoy to represent the Provisional Government of China in Tokyo, it was announced here last night.
Commissioned by Mr. Wang Keh-min, Chairman of the Executive Commission of the Reformed Government, Mr. Sun will establish a diplomatic office in a foreign-style house formerly occupied by the late Mr. Zenjuro Horigoshi, prominent Japanese silk exporter.
Mr. Sun severed connections with the Nationalist Government at the start of the hostilities and went to Peiping in May to receive an appointment by the Provisional Government.
The new office will take charge of matters relating to Chinese residents in Japan and maintain close contact with Japanese officials. With its opening a five-barred flag will be raised in Japan for the first time.—Domei.
