Both copies 16pp., 12mo, and both stapled in white wraps. Copy 1: Published by the Chinese People's Committee for World Peace and Against American Aggression. Title printed in red. Name of author given at foot of last page: '---- By LIN TA-KUANG.' In fair condition, aged, and on browned high-acidity newsprint, in creased wraps. Copy 2: 'Daily News Release' copy. Title given in black. Apparently identical in its typesetting to Copy 1, but without the author's name. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, with short pencil notes on cover and elsewhere. This pamphlet exists in a number of formats: and there are a total of nine copies listed worldwide on OCLC WorldCat; but none of those nine copies attribute the pamphlet to an author, and all nine number the pamphlet as part V - no such numbering being the case with either of the copies described here.
