Kuomintang Sessions Important Great Store Laid by New Chungking Meeting

Chungking, Jon. 12

Great importance is being attached by Chinese circles to the forthcoming plenary session of the Kuomintang, especially in view of Mr. Wanz Ching-wei's "defection," which obviously necessitates a corton amount of readjustment in the Kuomintang and in the Government.

Posts previously occupied by the associates of Mr. Wong Ching-wei will now have to be filled.

Members of the Central Executive and Central Supervisory committees are arriving in Chungking daily for the session, which was originally scheduled to begin on December 15 but was postponed for various reasons.

Although official information is not yet forthcoming, it is persistently reported that General Chang Chun and General Chen Chen will be offered important posts.—Reuter.
