^*. This article is based primarily on the available issues of the Hsin Hunan Poo (New Hunan Daily - henceforth HHNP), the provincial paper of Hunan province. Mr Yeung read all issues of the microfilms of the Union Research Service and the Library of Congress (LC), and the as yet unmicrofilmed holdings of the Hoover Institution were graciously surveyed by Henry Tam. The authors are indebted to Wang Chi and Edmund Worthy for facilitating our use of the LC collection, to Ramon Myers and Paul Cocks for assisting at Hoover, and to Ma Wei-yi for his typical, excellent assistance at Michigan. Lau Yei-fei and John Dolfin of the Universities Service Centre supplied us with materials from Hong Kong. Special thanks go to Edwin Winckler for providing the incentive and encouragement to work on Hunan; this article would not have appeared without his kind understanding. James Tong, Michigan Ph.D. candidate, arranged and checked footnotes. Maria Camp generously gave of her time to prepare the manuscript on time.

204. See Jen-min 29 November 1976. The 1976 reporting may be somewhat accurate, however, if the implication is that Hua sought to relate szu-ch'ing - essentially an ideological-organizational campaign - to the more pressing problem of increasing agricultural production. At least, Richard Baum observes that a Hunan report of 19 July 1963 expressly linked the task of cleaning up accounts and work points to “making good preparations for production work.” See Baum, , Prelude, p. 36Google Scholar. While this report probably did not come from Hua's bailiwick, it may have reflected the emphasis of the time.
