Pledge for "Greater Mongolia"

Given to Japanese Paotow, Oct. 20 Prince Teh, Commander-in-Chief of the Mongol Army, arrived here yesterday noon by plane from Pailingmiao. Accompanied by Gen. Li Shou-hsin, commanding Mongol troops in the field, Prince Teh immediately called on the commander of the Japanese detachment here and thanked him in the name of the Mongol race for the "deliverance" of Suiyuan from the "Chinese yoke," and pledged to the Japanese officer that all Mongol tribes will "solidly unite in contributing to the establishment of lasting peace in the Far East by restoring Greater Mongolia." His main aims, Prince Teh declared, were to "check effectively the penetration of the Chinese militarists from the South id the Communists from the North." The Prince then left for Pailingmiao.
