(August 17, 1949)
The issue of public bonds is a matter of great importance. Please have Chen Yun return immediately to report to the Central Committee, so that it can be discussed and then decided. At the same time, ask Rao and Chen to probe the opinions of the capitalists in the democratic construction sector and telegraph us their views.
