Commentary on the Volunteer Army’s 42nd Army Party Committee’s Report on the Economy Plan (December 31, 1951) To all major military regions, also to the Central Bureaus: The 42nd Army’s economy plan is excellent; please circulate it for reference among all armies and divisions under your jurisdiction. Each military region and each army should formulate its own economy plan and submit it to the Military Commission within a short period. The Volunteer Army has already taken the lead; the various military regions and armies must not fall too far behind. Mao Zedong, December 31, printed from the manuscript.
