1. Mongols in Peiping are stressing the significance of a recent split within the
ranks of the Manohuriar Inner Mongolians.
On one side are the older, more conservative men such as Boinmandaho, who favors
the cooperation of the Inner Mongolians within the future Federal Union of the
Chinese Communists* On the other side are the younger men led by Asgan, who
wani a union now with the Mongolian People"s Republic. They reason that if the
Inner Mongolians must be Communists, they might as well become a part of a
Mongolian republic rather than continue obnoxious ties with the Chinese.

Boinmandaho and Asgan.7
2 Wulji Ocher, who controls much of the area in Chahar, has been reported to have
good liaison with Asgane Because of this connection it is expected that ho will
.norease his control over the Mengchiang areas as a representative of the
clique favoring a merger of Inner Mongolia with the Mongolian People's Re 4blio.
3. In March 1946 Wulji Ocher's cadre returned rom the Mongolian People's Reaublic7
to the areas of the Chahar and Silingol Leagues and organized local peace
preservation units independently of the Chinese Communists. Their work in the
beginning was slow.
Wulji Ocher's assertion that he had USSR support appealed to some Inner Mongolians
but the lack of evidence tended to frighten away recruits. Many Inner Mongolians
believed that he was only boasting and had not actually obtained Soviet backing.

4. It was not until July 1946 that Wulji Ocher became a prominent figure in Inner
Mongolian affairs in the Mengehieng area. The reason for his gain in popularity
and support was the discovery, by Mongol officials of Chahar League, of a secret
memorandum from the Chinese Communist-sponsored Chahar Provincial Government to
their trusted officials in the Chinese Communist-sponsored Inner Mongolian
Autonomy Movement Association. This document was oovert',.y read, replaced and
the contents spread by word of mouth.

(Chinese Co: muniet) ultimate iue atery over the Inner !.}nn--oliann we must prnmote
a class cleavage in the population. The upper classes are our natural enemiss#
the lower classes will follow anyone. Our job is to seoure control of the
l r elesees. This must be done by working first with the intellectuals. T.e
shall use them as we would use boards to cross a stream and discard them in the
samo!, :iesn e, Of course we shall allow some youths, after close examinatiorio
to fallow us. Via must also make use of the upper class (princes?). At the
some time we must make use of propaganda to show that all the woes of inner
i ngoliane are the result of the Japanese, the Mongol nobility and the " e late".
Vie must convince the people that their se "vation lies in a Communist 'dominated
Chine.25X1 A
Note= The policy of the Chinese Communists, as described to an Am*rio$n
observer by a member of the Inner Mongolian Autonomy Movement Association, is
very similar to that set forth in this document.)
6a Upon the discovery of this document, Inner Mongolian leaders, youths, and soldiers
began to leave the Communist fold and seek sanctuary in territory controlled by
Ysulji Ocher.
7. At first 1ulji Ocher did little to consolidate his control over the peace
reservation units under his oomrnaad and allowed them freedom 4f notion. As a
w'esult, the peace preservation commanders could be counted upon to fight
+kationalist troops only if the Nationalist troops entered areas inhabited by
ongesls. After the fall of Kalgan 'T+u1 ji Ocher promised to cooperate with the
:;nineae Communists. He adapted a policy of appointing banner chiefs or pease
preservation commanders loyal to hir.eelf in each of the banners under hid control.
In his extension of control, he. often carried out his policies by assassination
and suppression /F of Liongols opposed to cooperation with the Chinese Communiste 7f
Y,u2;4i Ochar also has a good background in politio'.l training; he is a graduate of
;escow's Oriental University.

Note: There have been reports in the Chinese press of the kidc.appTng
bbd assassination of Mongol princes in Suiyuan and Chahar Provinces. Among them
have been Ah-yang-ao-ch'i-erh (reported "Chi-fa-wu-to-tze") of Urat Rear Banner,
and his mother, Queen Ch'i.-ohun-feng, a number of princes in the Silingol League,
such as Cha-yen-k'e-tu-ke-erh, chief of Sunit Right Banner; and Namuteke, leader
of the Peace Preservation Corps of the Left Sunit Banner. The Queen was reported
as having pro-FU Too-yi sympathieso report on officials of the
lilanahap League inn Suiyuan Province.) 25X1 A
8. because of Yulji Ocher's methods, some of the Mongols left his areas and ~`.rserted
to the Nationalists. Most recent of these deserters was Fu-li"ah, who.hc been
peace preservation commander of Chahar Secondary Yellow Banner (114-47, ~:~10)a
