(October 9, 1943)
Starting from the 6th, all articles in the Liberation Daily and Xinhua News Agency exposing the Kuomintang are to be temporarily suspended, maintaining calm. Within the jurisdiction of the Jin-Sui Sub-bureau, add twenty delegates to the Seventh National Congress, to arrive in Yan'an by February next year; the tone is to be moderate to show easing, and the article on the 5th also points out a willingness to resume negotiations between the two parties. Future negotiations will be conducted by you. When meeting Chiang Kai-shek, in addition to expressing welcome for a political settlement, you should point out that the Kuomintang forces throughout the Northwest are preparing for war with great urgency, and Yan'an does not believe there is sincerity in a political settlement. However, Yan'an welcomes a political settlement and does not wish for a rupture. If cooperation continues, Yan'an guarantees to continue implementing the four promises and demands the withdrawal of a certain number of troops.
