Telegram to the Central Working Committee and the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Central Bureau

(October 9, 1947)

(1) The Outline Land Law has been finalized and will be published tomorrow (the 10th). (2) It will take about half a month from the time it appears in the newspapers until it reaches the villages, so it is unlikely to affect wheat planting. If the Central Bureau believes it might have an impact, publication can be postponed for a few days. As for the actual distribution of land in accordance with the Land Law, it should only begin after your Land Conference has decided on the steps for implementation and all arrangements have been fully completed.
