(June 22, 1946) All bureaus and transfer to relevant agencies and troops: According to the telegram No. 2 [2] of the Executive Department of Peking, there have been a lot of disturbances recently regarding the safety assurance of the executive team traveling to and from our region and their attitude towards them, such as intentional embarrassment, inspection, detention, and impolite attitudes, etc. In particular, casual shooting caused Beipiao to injure the American team members, Yancheng killed the Chinese team Lei Fenqiang, and today it was reported that the Xinxiang team was shot in the Xiuwu area, killing one Chinese team member and injuring another.Many of these incidents are due to misunderstandings, but many are also caused by the simple hatred of the subordinates towards the country and the United States. many incidents of harm), but always politically unreasonable and sympathetic.Please order the central government to order all strategic areas to conscientiously restrain subordinates and educate them so that the above-mentioned incidents will not happen again.Regarding the unfair mediation between the country and the United States, we must always have a stern attitude, but in the relationship between small groups, we must always pay attention to proper courtesy and good friendship, so that our diplomatic struggles are in a more reasonable position.Please ask the central government to decide whether to implement such words.What is said is very reasonable. I hope that the bureaus will order all relevant agencies and troops to conduct general education, and then treat the personnel of the country and the United States with courtesy, especially to prevent any harm from happening. This is the most important thing.central
