2. THE ARGUMENTS DEPLOYED IN THE GUANG MING ARTICLE CLOSELY RESEMBLE THOSE IN THE CONTEMPORARY HISTORY RESEARCH ARTICLE

AS REPRINTED IN THE TA KUNG PAO (OUR TELNO 163 REFERST.

A FULL TRANSLATION OF THE CONTEMPORARY RESEARCH ARTICLE IS BEING

PREPARED HERE, AND I SHALL SEND YOU AND HKGD A COPY.

BUT IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF YOU COULD COMPARE THE CONTEMPORARY

HISTORY RESEARCH AND GUANG MING ARTICLES AND LET ME KNOW WHETHER

THE GUANG MING ARTICLE CONTAINS ANY SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL POINTS.

3. IN CASE YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY DONE SO, COULD YOU SEND ME BY BAG THE CHINESE TEXTS OF THE TWO GUANG MING ARTICLES TO WHICH YOU REFER.

SIGNED: R.MP. MARGOLIS
