按：红色标记系录入者所加。1966.10.18毛泽东乘车接见来到北京的红卫兵，当时人民日报的报道是说《毛主席第四次接见一百五十万革命小将》，虽然此前8.18、8.31、9.15、10.1毛已经在天安门四次见过红卫兵。在8.18和10.1这两次，红卫兵其实都只是被毛接见的游行队伍中一小部分人。
英国人对10.18接见的评论包括：
1. 此次没有像以前几次那样领导鼓励或限制学生运动，这意味着中共领导层对运动现在的势头是满意的。另外，此次接见和以前几次形式不同，出现组织和协调不力的情况。
2. 北京市1号人物李雪峰的地位和8月份相同，但仍然有很多新的大字报批判他，似乎指向他的后台是刘少奇和邓小平。
3. 毛、林等人似乎还没有获得内部足够支持或做好充分准备来彻底打倒刘少奇。

PRIORITY
CONFIDENTIAL
Addressed
to Foreign Office telegram No.879 of 22 October.
Repeated for information to: Washington
POLAD Singapore
Hong Kong
and Saving to: Moscow
My telegram No.859:
Cultural revolution.
Political temperature
remains high and there is evidence of continuing, but still obscure,
party struggle. Posters are plentiful in Peking and Red Guards continue to come
and go.
2. The major event was the rally of 18 October
(my telegrams 869 and 874).
Absence of speeches at this rally may mean that the leaders are content for the
movement to follow its present course, since they did not, as on
previous such occasions take the opportunity further to incite or to restrain
the students. Rally seems to have been used simply as a means of strengthening still
further direct personal loyalties of masses to Mao and Lin Piao's
position as No. 2. It may have been arranged merely in response to demands from
Red Guards visiting the capital to see Mao, which have been reflected in some
quite strongly worded posters. On the other hand the
form of the rally was unusual and there were signs of improvisation and
disorganisation. It may have been originally planned to follow
traditional pattern and perhaps to coincide with an announcement of some
substance.
3. Li Hsueh-Feng
appeared in the same position in the list as on 18 August. Nevertheless a large
proportion of the many new posters which continue to appear
in Peking are still devoted to detailed attacks on Li and demands
for his dismissal. He is denounced for following a bourgeois anti-Mao line and
attempting to suppress the revolution. Some posters say that Li
is only able to persist in this line because he is supported by the
"black roots" behind the scenes. These and other similar innuendoes appear to be aimed at Liu Shao-Ch'i ,. though
other party bosses e.g.
Teng Hsiao P'ing may also be under threat.
4. One explanation of the present unresolved situation may be
that the dominant extremists (Mao and Lin
Piao) have so far not achieved
sufficient internal Party support, or perhaps not made sufficient public preparation, to carry the purge to a
further stage: and that Liu Shao-Ch'I, who may be intended as the principal ultimate victim, and much of the party machine, are still fighting a strong rear-guard action. This or some similar high-level struggle may account for the continuing uncertainties about Li Hsueh-Feng’s future and perhaps
the incomplete nature of the rally. But this at present is little more than speculation.
5. One certain fact is that Lin Piao continues
to entrench himself in his position as second only to Mao. Indeed one People's Daily headline on the rally
read as follows: "comrade Lin Piao and other
responsible comrades of the Central Committee
together with the great leader reviewed the great army of the cultural revolution". We do not know what if
any significance to attach to this.
6. Other posters continue to attack provincial
Party Committees. Hunan, Kiangsi and
Kweichow are now also specified. A feature of current phase
is daily meetings in Peking Stadia by groups of students from
different provinces to denounce their own provincial leadership.
Behaviour of students is otherwise characterised by placidity and
drift.
7. Screens in front of Party headquarters now prevent foreigners reading posters there. In front of foreign
Ministry Ch'en Yi is named in small poster as ultimately
responsible for misdeeds of Vice-Foreign Minister,
Liu Hsin-Ch'Uan. Latter is Head of Political Bureau in
Ministry and was denounced at rally on 20 October.
Foreign Office please pass Washington 324 and Saving Moscow 105.
