TO FILIPPOV [Stalin]
Comrade FILIPPOV!
In the course of conducting the war in KOREA we have run into such serious questions as the financial question, the question of the conduct of military operations directly at the front, the question of the danger of a possible enemy landing on the sea coast in our rear.
We intend to send Comrade GAO GANG to MOSCOW by plane in a few days to inform you regarding the aforementioned questions and to ask your directions in the matter of the resolution of these important questions.
At the present time Comrade KIM IL SUNG is in BEIJING. He wishes to go with Comrade GAO GANG for discussion of these questions with you.
I ask you to communicate your opinion about the possibility of this trip.
MAO ZEDONG
