August 1st is the memorial day for the worldwide anti-imperialist war, and at the same time, it is the memorial day for China's Nanchang Uprising. The Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army began with the Nanchang Uprising and gradually grew up in struggle. This year's "August 1st" comes at a time when the danger of a new imperialist bandit war and anti-Soviet war is extremely tense, when Japanese imperialism is invading China on a large scale, and when the Chinese Kuomintang is openly selling out Dong San Sheng, Rehe, and Hua Bei. At the same time, it is a time of a great high tide in the nationwide anti-imperialist and anti-Kuomintang movement, and a time when the Soviet movement and the revolutionary war have achieved unprecedented great victories. Therefore, this year's "August 1st" has a very great significance for the revolutionary struggle. The Central Executive Committee, in order to commemorate the founding of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army and to reward and give preferential treatment to the Red Army fighters, hereby resolves as follows:

(1) To approve the proposal of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, designating "August 1st" of each year as the memorial day for the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army. And on this year's "August 1st," to commemorate and award battle flags to each regiment of the Red Army, and at the same time, to award medals to the responsible comrades who led the Nanchang movement and to the commanders and combatants in the Red Army with special meritorious service. (2) To charge the People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs with formulating preferential treatment certificates for Red Army family members, to be issued to the families of all Red Army fighters to hold. (3) Under the district Soviet land departments and the township Soviets, to organize Red Army public land management committees to manage the production and harvest of Red Army public lands, and the storage of harvested products, and other such matters. Under the joint jurisdiction of the district Soviet land departments and the internal affairs departments, and under the township Soviets, to organize committees for the preferential treatment of Red Army family members to manage all matters concerning the preferential treatment of Red Army family members.
