Comments on a Letter from the Social Service Department of the Beijing Bureau of the Xinmin Daily (February 23, 1951) Comrade Fuchun [1]: Please look into this matter [2], ascertain why the Ministry of Textile Industry has adopted such an attitude, and ask the minister to submit a report to me. Mao Zedong February 23 Printed from the manuscript. Notes [1] Fuchun refers to Li Fuchun, who at that time served as Deputy Director of the Financial and Economic Commission of the Government Administration Council. [2] This refers to the issue raised in the Xinmin Daily’s letter: the Ministry of Textile Industry’s indifference toward a sizing agent invented by Tian Jian of Beijing, which has thus failed to be put into wider use.
