To Comrades Chen Shaoyu and Kai Feng

(August 6, 1938)

The congratulatory telegram to the People's Political Council was altered in some wording by the *Xinhua Daily*, which does not correspond with what I sent to the Council and what was published in the *Liberation Daily*. This reveals a slight divergence to the outside, which seems somewhat inappropriate. Hereafter, if you comrades have any opinions, please inform the rear area first, so that consistency may be maintained when issuing.
