PW stated that in every Prefecture (縣), there was a Democratic League led by an active Communist member. The leader would receive orders secretly from the Army to recruit a certain number of men. The leader in turn would assemble the members who were not able to state their own opinion openly. The leader would find some volunteers prior to the meeting, and have them volunteer first at the end of the meeting. Then they would appeal to the other people and thus obtain the required number of volunteers.
For the Commanding Officer:
SHAPPELL
