To the CCP Delegation in Chongqing[1]

(March 17, 1946)

If Chiang Kai-shek is resolute in his demand to revise the constitutional principles, we must then consider the question of whether to participate in the government and whether to participate in the National Assembly. Our Party’s list for the National Government and the list of delegates to the National Assembly should not be submitted for the time being, and the same applies to the Democratic League. Please discuss and deliberate with the Democratic League.
