Telegram to Bo Gu and Ye Jianying[1]

(November 4, 1937)

The name of the Shaan-Gan-Ning Border Area must be called the Special Region; the two characters "Border Area" are not good for external purposes.

Raise with the Kuomintang and vigorously strive to resolve such issues as the scope of the Special Region and the urgently needed funds at present.
