During Chinese People's Comprehensive War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,to organize and mo-bilize the masses to participate in production was one of the main contents of the war programs for the Government of the Re-public of China.With the progress of the war,the network of China Industrial Cooperation Association(CIC),which was founded on the initiative of international friends,became distributed over the major towns in the rear areas to organize people to engage in the production of military and civilian supplies.In view of the need to promote business development,the CIC undertook several batches of orders from the Military Commissary Department of the Military and Political Ministry to manu-facture military blankets.These military blankets were mainly produced in the CIC Northwest and Southwest regions.The bu-reaus of CIC Northwest and Southwest regions accomplished the task of military blanket production by establishing special management organizations,forming manufacturing cooperatives and mobilizing the masses for wool spinning and weaving.The CIC military blanket production not only alleviated the shortage of military supplies in the war,but also played a positive role in improving people's lives and consolidating the western rear area.
