Secretly Distribute the Open Telegram
and Materials from the Yan’an Mass
Meeting to Various Social Circles1
(July 9, 1943)
Try every means to quickly print several dozen to several hundred copies of the
telegram from Commander-in-chief Zhu [De] and Director Xiao [Jingguang]2 to
Chiang [Kaishek], Hu [Zongnan], and others, the news from the New China
News Agency exposing secret agents fabricating public opinion in Xi’an, and the
open telegram from today’s Yan’an mass meeting, and secretly distribute them to
various circles. This kind of work is very important.
