Telegram to Dong Biwu[1]

(July 6, 1943)

You should immediately arrange to have the "July 1" commemorative essay printed separately and disseminated, and Comrade Zhu De's telegrams to Chiang and Hu should also be speedily circulated externally. All secret documents at the office must be burned at once to guard against sudden raids and seizures.

[1] This is the main content of Mao Zedong's telegram to Dong Biwu concerning the Kuomintang authorities' prohibition of the *Xinhua Daily* from publishing an editorial commemorating the 22nd anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and their dispatching of personnel to the newspaper office to conduct surveillance.
