September 4, 1946. To the United General Association for National Reconstruction and Hometown Salvation of Overseas Chinese in Siam, the General Federation of Workers in Siam, the Youth Association of Overseas Chinese in Siam, the Educational Association of Overseas Chinese in Siam, the Mouth□ Association in Siam, and seventy-one other organizations; also to be forwarded for the general information of all overseas Chinese in Siam: We have received your telegram of the Xu day and are deeply impressed by its just cause and forthright language. The Kuomintang authorities first categorically rejected the proposal for an illegal grand congress, and subsequently refused to comply with the demand for its dissolution, thereby effectively closing the door to negotiation. The people of the whole country will never recognize this illegal, secessionist one-party congress nor the so-called constitution it has adopted. Our Party is resolved to fight to the bitter end to restore the CPPCC line and to reinstate the military positions as they stood on January 13. We further hope that our compatriots overseas will unite in their efforts to realize the independence, peace, and democracy of the motherland. Mao Zedong, Hai mouth.
