Nahn Soekarmou replied that we need to educate both our peoples in this respect. Nai Tun Thein asked for the reason why KRC diminished the Karen demand. Nahn Soekarmou replied that we have to see to practicability.
Nai Tun Thein continued by saying that, he had not taken the wishes of the Mon masses in this respect but the Mon's minimum desire will be the inclution of the whole Pegu district to the Monland as Pegu is the historical town of the Mons. The Mons' heridities, civilisation are all at Pegu. He suggested that the Four Groups Meeting today, the Karens, Mons, Paohs,Karenni, form a United Front, decide the area for all four groups and first demarcation is to be done only after the completion of the revolution.
