Chapter 74 About the "Three Antis" and "Five Antis"

(November 1951-May 1952) one Anti-corruption and anti-waste are indeed a major issue for the entire Party, and we have told you to pay serious attention to this matter.We believe that it is necessary to carry out a major clean-up of the whole party, thoroughly expose all large, medium and small corruption incidents, and focus on cracking down on major corrupt offenders, and adopt the policy of education and reform for small and medium-sized corrupt offenders, so as to stop many party members from being abused by the bourgeoisie. The extremely dangerous phenomenon of corrosion can overcome the situation that the Second Plenary Session [1] had anticipated and realize the policy of the Second Plenary Session to prevent corrosion. Please pay attention to it. [2]

(November 30, 1951) two Both Liu Qingshan, the former secretary of the North China Tianjin Prefectural Committee, and Zhang Zishan, the current secretary, are major corruption offenders. The North China Bureau has discovered and dealt with them. We believe that the policy of the North China Bureau is correct.This incident raised a warning to the Central Committee, the Central Bureau, the sub-bureaus, and the provincial and municipal party committees.Serious attention must be paid to the fact that cadres have been corrupted by the bourgeoisie and have committed serious corruption, and attention must be paid to discovering, exposing and punishing them, and it must be dealt with as a major struggle. [3]

(November 30, 1951) three The struggle against corruption, waste, and bureaucracy should be regarded as as important as the struggle to suppress counter-revolutionaries. The masses, including the democratic parties and people from all walks of life, should be mobilized to carry it out. The problem can only be solved by doing it yourself, calling for confession and reporting, criticizing and educating the light ones, and dismissing, punishing, and imposing prison terms (reform through labor) in the serious cases, until a group of the most serious corruption offenders are shot. [4] (December 8, 1951)

Four Corruption, waste and bureaucracy are extremely high in all branches of the military system, especially in the logistics sector.Many party members, even responsible cadres, are buried in administrative work, their political ideology is extremely undeveloped, and their inner-party life is extremely unsound. Therefore, many people fall into the quagmire of corruption, waste, and bureaucracy. , regardless of the overall situation.This situation must change.It is necessary to carry out Party rectification and rectification throughout the military system, with particular emphasis on the logistics department, and launch a serious struggle against corruption, waste, and bureaucracy, and call on all commanders and fighters to participate in this struggle. [5]

(December 11, 1951) Fives We must make all private industrial and commercial persons who have committed corruption, bribery, tax evasion, theft and other illegal acts in relationship with the public confess or report all their illegal acts. Shenyang and other provinces and capitals launched this struggle vigorously, in order to resolutely counterattack the bourgeoisie's rampant attacks on our party on this issue for the past three years (this kind of attack is more dangerous and serious than war) For a major blow, strive to basically complete this task within two to three months.Party committees at all levels are requested to make strict arrangements for this matter and treat this struggle as a large-scale class struggle.Such deployment should be carried out simultaneously internally (organs, schools, troops and public enterprises) and externally (private business circles), with close cooperation between leading agencies and courts, vigorous publicity by newspapers and radio, and attention to organizing internal notifications of confidential information .In large cities, an in-house newspaper may be published on the matter.

In this struggle, the democratic parties and democrats from all walks of life should be taken care of, and attention should be paid to organizing a united front in the struggle against the "three evils". [6] (January 5, 1952) six In all the cities of the country, first of all in the large and medium-sized cities, rely on the working class, unite with the law-abiding bourgeoisie and other citizens, and launch a large-scale, resolute and thorough campaign against bribery, tax evasion, and theft against the law-abiding bourgeoisie. It is extremely necessary and timely that the struggle against defrauding state property, cutting corners, and stealing economic intelligence is coordinated with the struggle against corruption, waste, and bureaucracy within the party, government, army, and civilians.In this struggle, the party organizations in each city must carefully deploy the power of the class and the masses. They must pay attention to the strategy of utilizing contradictions, implementing divisions, uniting the majority, and isolating the minority, so as to quickly form a united front of the "five evils" in the struggle. .This kind of united front can be formed in about three weeks after the "five evils" are violently launched in a big city.As long as this united front is formed, those reactionary capitalists who have committed the most heinous crimes will be isolated, and the state will be able to justify and smoothly impose various necessary punishments on them, such as arrest, imprisonment, shooting, confiscation, fines, etc.All major cities across the country (including provincial capitals) should enter the "five evils" battle in early February. Please make arrangements quickly. [7]

(January 26, 1952) seven In view of the fact that the small and medium-sized corrupt elements whose corruption is less than 10 million yuan[8] account for 95% to 97% of the total number of corrupt persons, with a great mass character, the central government has stipulated that only those with serious circumstances should be punished. In addition to criminal sanctions, those whose circumstances are not serious should generally be exempted from criminal sanctions, and their working organs will give different degrees of administrative sanctions according to their circumstances to show seriousness.Those who have consistently performed well in revolutionary work, occasionally committed corruption mistakes, and those whose number is very small may also be exempted from administrative sanctions.In addition, there are some people who are close to corruption, which cannot be called corruption according to their reality, and should not be regarded as corruption.

According to such regulations, more than 85% of small and medium-sized corrupt elements can be exempted from criminal punishment (that is, they will not be sent to court or sentenced to prison), but only given administrative punishment, so as to fight for unity and educate and reform this group of people. To carry out the "three evils" struggle and construction work.With regard to the items of administrative punishment, in addition to the four items of dismissal, demotion, transfer, and demerit stipulated by the central government, one more item of warning is added, making a total of five items.It is estimated that there are many petty corrupt persons, such as those with less than 500,000 yuan and the circumstances are not serious (this type of person accounts for about 70% of the total number of corrupt persons), they only need to be given a warning.As for those who have embezzled less than 10 million yuan and are exempted from criminal punishment, if they are party members and league members, how to deal with their party affiliation and group affiliation, the central government has no mature opinions. Please make suggestions based on the situation of dealing with corrupt elements in the "three evils" struggle Comments should be telegraphed to the Central Committee for consideration.Regarding the immediate expulsion of party membership and group membership for all persons who should be given criminal punishment, the central government has issued a notice, please follow it.Corruption offenders worth more than 10 million yuan (the so-called big, medium, and small tigers) should also be divided into death penalty, death penalty with a reprieve, life imprisonment, various fixed-term imprisonment, and administrative sanctions for exemption from criminal punishment, etc. In this category, the Supreme Court of the Central People's Government gave direction in the trial of seven major corruption offenders on February 1. [9]

(February 9, 1952) Eight 1. Spring plowing is coming soon. In addition to making overall arrangements for spring plowing at the provincial, prefectural and county levels, they should also designate special personnel to take charge of regular spring plowing work and strive for a bumper harvest this year. They must not be neglected.2. Before and during spring plowing, the district and township levels must not carry out the "three evils" struggle, and should devote all their efforts to spring plowing work (some new districts also have land reform work).The "three evils" at the district and township levels should be done after the completion of spring plowing, and should be carried out under the unified deployment and unified orders of the central bureaus, sub-bureaus, and provincial and district party committees.Those who have launched the "three antis" struggle at the district and township levels should stop, except for a few places where party committees at or above the county level conduct typical experiments, to prevent chaos. [10]

(February 9, 1952) Nine Big corrupt criminals are the enemies of the people, they are no longer our comrades or friends, so we should resolutely and thoroughly eliminate them completely, without the slightest nostalgia or sympathy. [11] (February 10, 1952) ten 1. While carrying out the struggle against the "three evils" and "five evils", the municipal party committees and municipal governments of all cities should pay attention to maintaining the normal operation of economic life. .2. In order to maintain normal economic life, in addition to encouraging law-abiding industrial and commercial households with no problems (there are 10,000 households in Beijing and over 10,000 households in Tianjin), they should be encouraged to operate as usual. Business households that are half illegal and half law-abiding should be divided into several batches to make conclusions after the "five evils" struggle is launched, so as to calm them down.This type of industrial and commercial households accounts for the vast majority of all industrial and commercial households, accounting for more than 37,000 of the total 50,000 industrial and commercial households in Beijing.Most of them only have the problem of tax evasion, and some of them have the problem of embezzlement and theft but not serious.For these people, we should mobilize the workers and shop assistants, draw a clear line between labor and capital, report their evasion, embezzlement, and theft, and induce them to confess their illegal activities in many ways, and then draw conclusions for them and ask them to pay taxes for one year. The embezzler withdraws from the stolen property and declares that he will be exempted from fines.This policy of "refunds without fines" can stabilize the vast majority of capitalists and form a broad united front against the "five evils".The real united front of the "five evils" can only be formed after a few batches of "refunds but no punishment" conclusions are made and announced against these capitalists.Two or three batches of such conclusions should be made about one month into the campaign, and must be completed within one and a half months, at most two months.Beijing and Tianjin must be completed within this month.Doing it late is bad.3. The two groups of capitalists mentioned above, namely the law-abiding capitalists and the half-law-abiding and half-law-abiding capitalists, account for about 95 percent of all capitalists. Only by winning them over can the reactionary capitalists who make up about 5 percent be completely isolated .Therefore, the half-law-abiding and half-law-abiding capitalists must strictly abide by the policy of only refunding no punishment (not to mention not arresting people), and strive to draw conclusions as soon as possible.It’s okay if some people’s problems are not thoroughly clarified. If we want to thoroughly clarify all the problems of these people in this struggle, it will inevitably take a long time, which will be detrimental to the overall situation.4. The remaining five percent of capitalists can be divided into two groups: (a) Capitalists who violated the law seriously but not completely. This category accounts for about four percent. Our policy is to carry out Inspections, tax payments, refunds, fines, but no arrests. (B) Capitalists who have completely violated the law, this type of people accounts for about 1% of the total.Divided into three categories.The first category, tax payment, money refund, fine, arrest, but not imprisonment.That is to say, arrest them, lock them up for a few days, and allow them to be released on bail, and they will be there whenever they are called.The purpose of the arrest is only to defeat their reactionary arrogance, not to sentence them to prison, because too many prison sentences are disadvantageous.Such people account for about 1.5%.The second category is tax payment, money refund, fine, arrest, imprisonment, and confiscation of their property.This kind of people also accounts for about 1.5% and should not be too many, especially the confiscation of property should not be too much.The third category is the death penalty and confiscation of property.Such people should be very few. In Beijing and Tianjin, only about ten people should be killed, and they should not be killed too early.The killing of capitalists in various places requires the approval of the central government before it can be implemented.Because killing capitalists is different from killing counter-revolutionaries, we must be cautious, otherwise it will be disadvantageous.5. Generally, three conditions must be met to catch capitalists, that is, first, it is completely illegal; second, it is a resistance movement; third, it is not popular among capitalists.If there are only the first two items and no latter item, we will surely lose the support of the people if we arrest him.The so-called "bad popularity" means that he is not decent in the eyes of most capitalists.6. Regarding the allocation of processing and ordering tasks and other issues related to the restoration or maintenance of normal economic life, please deal with them promptly by the Central Finance Committee. [12]

(February 15, 1952) eleven At present, the first thing to pay attention to is to kill all the tigers, and not to relax; the second is to pay attention to investigation and research, to calculate the big and small accounts, to check whether the tigers are true or false, and to strictly prohibit forced confessions.Pay attention to these two, you can get a complete victory. [13] (February 22, 1952) twelve To carry out the "five evils" in any city, it is necessary to analyze the situation, determine strategies, organize workers, organize cadres (work teams), organize command organs, and make a comprehensive plan before the "five evils" struggle can be truly carried out, and in the struggle Constantly revising one's own plan, and must not blindly carry out the "five evils".The municipal party committee must guide the districts every day and sum up experience once a few days.All central bureaus, sub-bureaus, and provincial and municipal party committees must discuss local "five evils" work every few days, and must not be satisfied with issuing only one or two principled instructions. [14] (March 5, 1952) Thirteen 1. The basic principles for dealing with industrial and commercial households during the "Five Antis" movement are: lenient in the past and stricter in the future (for example, tax payments are generally only made in 1951); the majority are lenient and the few are stricter; Leniency, resistance is stricter; industry is lenient, commerce is stricter; general commerce is lenient, speculative business is stricter.It is hoped that party committees at all levels will grasp these principles in the "five evils". 2. To classify the types of private industrial and commercial households under the goal of "five evils", they should be divided into five categories: law-abiding, basically law-abiding, half-law-abiding and half-law, serious law-breakers and completely law-breakers.As far as large cities are concerned, the first three categories account for about 95 percent, and the latter two categories account for about 5 percent.There are slight differences between major cities, but generally not far from each other.Medium-sized cities are quite different from this proportion. 3. These five categories include bourgeois and non-bourgeois independent handicraft households and family business households, excluding street vendors.Major cities can temporarily not deal with street vendors, but it is best to deal with independent handicraft households and family business households.In the "five evils" of medium-sized cities, it is best to deal with both independent industrial and commercial households and street vendors.There are a large number of independent industrial and commercial households that do not employ workers or shop assistants (but some have apprentices). Many of them are law-abiding, and many of them are basically law-abiding and partially illegal (that is, there are small amounts of tax evasion, That is to say, there are minor problems), and there are also a few who are half law-abiding and half illegal, that is, tax evasion.Not only do we have to deal with a large number of small capitalists in the "five evils" and draw conclusions for them, but we should also try our best to deal with independent industrial and commercial households roughly equal in number to the small capitalists and draw conclusions for them. The current "five evils" and future economic construction are beneficial.These two types of industrial and commercial households generally have no major problems, and it is not difficult to draw conclusions for them.After making a conclusion, we won the support of the broad masses.However, if some cities think that it is more convenient to make conclusions for other industrial and commercial households first, and leave the conclusions of independent industrial and commercial households later, that is also possible. 4. According to the actual situation of the city, we decided to change the four types of industrial and commercial households established in the past to five types, that is, the first type of law-abiding households will be changed to two types: law-abiding households and basic law-abiding households, and the other three categories will remain unchanged.Among the 50,000 industrial and commercial households (including independent industrial and commercial households, excluding street vendors) in Beijing, law-abiding households account for about 10%, basic law-abiding households account for about 60%, and half-law-abiding households and half-illegal households account for about 10%. About twenty-five, serious illegal households accounted for about 4%, and complete illegal households accounted for about 1%.Separate the complete law-abiding households from the basic law-abiding households with minor problems, and treat the basic law-abiding households with less tax evasion and those with a little more tax evasion separately. This may have a great educational effect. 5. In large and medium-sized cities, some municipal party committees are extremely unclear about the situation of various types of industrial and commercial households, and their strategic views on how to treat these industrial and commercial households are not clear. In order to be sloppy, they hastily launched the "five evils", which caused some confusion. I hope these municipal party committees will pay attention to it and quickly overcome it.In addition, the inspection of illegal industrial and commercial households must be strictly controlled by the municipal party committee and the city government. All agencies are not allowed to send people to inspect freely, let alone arrest capitalists and bring them to the agency for interrogation.Regardless of the "Three Antis" and "Five Antis", corporal punishment must not be used to extract confessions, and suicides should be strictly prevented. Those who have already occurred should immediately formulate preventive measures to ensure that the "Three Antis" and "Five Antis" develop soundly on the right track. Go for full victory. 6. Counties, districts, and townships will not carry out the "three evils" and "five evils" at present. When and how they will be carried out in the future will be further notified by the central government.Individuals who have experimented with the "five evils" in county towns and the "three evils" in districts must be strictly controlled and must not hinder spring plowing and economic activities.Medium-sized cities should not carry out the "five antis" uniformly at the same time, but carry out them in batches and under strict control. [15] (March 5, 1952) fourteen It is very comforting that the two systems of the Finance Committee and the military region have improved. I hope to step up supervision and strive to basically complete the "three evils" of the army and Guangzhou this month.At the same time, please strictly control the "five evils" in Guangzhou, so as not to cause confusion.Some economic activities that have come to a standstill should be vigorously restored.In other cities, unless they are fully prepared, do not launch the "five evils" lightly. [16] (March 7, 1952) fifteen During and after this "five evils" struggle, we must achieve the following goals: (1) Thoroughly investigate the situation of private industry and commerce in order to unite and control the bourgeoisie and carry out the state's planned economy.If the situation is unclear, it is impossible to carry out a planned economy. (2) Clearly delineate the boundaries between the working class and the bourgeoisie, eradicate corruption and bureaucratic phenomena that are divorced from the masses in trade unions, and eliminate lackeys of the bourgeoisie in trade unions.This kind of lackeys and intermediate elements who waver between labor and capital have occurred in trade unions everywhere. We must educate and win over intermediate elements in the struggle, and expel capitalist lackeys who have committed serious crimes. (3) Reorganize trade associations and federations of industry and commerce, expel those who have all the "five evils" [17] and other people who have completely lost their prestige from the leading bodies of these organizations, and attract those who perform better in the "five evils" Come in.All types of business and industry should be represented, except those who are outright lawbreakers. (4) Help the person in charge of the Democratic National Construction Association to rectify the Democratic National Construction Association, expel those who have all the "five poisons" and those who are disappointed, and add a group of better people to make it a representative of the bourgeoisie. The legal interests of the industrial bourgeoisie, and educate the political groups of the bourgeoisie with a common program and the principles of the "five evils".Secret associations of various capitalists, such as the "Star Four Dinner Party" [18], etc., should try to be dissolved. (5) Eliminate the "five poisons", eliminate speculative business, make the entire bourgeoisie obey the laws of the state, and operate industries and commerce that are beneficial to the national economy and the people's livelihood; within the limits set by the state, try to develop private industries (as long as the capitalists are willing and in line with the "Common Program") ), and gradually reduce private business; the state has increased the exclusive sales order plan for private products year by year, and increased the planning of private industry and commerce year by year; re-demarcating the profit of private capital should not only make private capital feel profitable, but also make private capital feel profitable. Unable to make huge profits. (6) Abolish back accounts, make the economy open, and gradually establish a system for workers and shop assistants to supervise production and management. (7) Recover most of the economic losses of the country and the people from compensation, refund, fine and confiscation. (8) Establish Party branches among workers and shop assistants in all large and medium-sized private enterprises and strengthen Party work. [19] (March 23, 1952) sixteen Comrade Bo Yibo's strategy and deployment of the "five evils" on March 25 is very good, and all cities should follow suit.It is correct that Shanghai's "five evils" first focus on 430,000 of the 620,000 people.In particular, it is extremely important not to miss production. Every city that misses producers should immediately change its practices. [twenty one] (March 29, 1952) seventeen All real corrupt criminals, suspected corrupt persons, and those who have made mistakes must be sentenced and examined carefully and clearly in accordance with the previous instructions of the central government and government decrees. A bad person must not be indulged, and a good person must not be wronged.Anyone who can recover the stolen money must be resolutely pursued, but innocent family members must not be affected, and people must not be sent to the countryside to recover the stolen money (except for those who do have large stolen goods in the countryside and the public opinion believes that they should be pursued), and they must not forcefully pursue those who were originally stolen. The part that cannot be tracked. [twenty two] (May 9, 1952) eighteen 1. During the struggle against the "five evils", working groups and workers generally calculate the illegal gains of capitalists to be very high, which must be lowered in a reasonable way when finalizing the case, so as to conform to the reality of the economic situation. There is a surplus.Comrade Tan Zhenlin [23] proposed that Shanghai liquidated 10 trillion illegal gains, which exceeded the actual income of capitalists in 1951. They planned to reduce it to 4 trillion, and proposed a ratio of one-half or one-third.We think that the ratio of one-half is too much, and the ratio of one-third is a little less, and it is appropriate to take a little more than one-third.Comrade Bo Yibo returned to Beijing to report that Guangzhou New Pharmaceutical’s original illegal income was 100 billion yuan, but we voluntarily deducted it several times, and finally set it at 36 billion yuan. It was unexpected leniency from the capitalists, and everyone was happy.This ratio is slightly more than one-third.All municipal committees are asked to weigh the overall situation and make a decision roughly according to this ratio. We will be able to take the initiative politically and economically, so that the economy will recover and develop quickly, and the capitalists will come closer to us again.2. The timing of reimbursement. Except for a few who are able and willing to refund as soon as possible and a very small number of those who should be confiscated, it is appropriate for most capitalists to postpone the refund until September or October.Those with a large number can be subsidized and refunded over many years, and some of them can also be used as public shares without handing over cash.This is absolutely necessary to activate the market and prevent unemployment.Fines can only be imposed on a very small number of people, and the sentences are especially small. Hangzhou's handling is very good.3. All cities should follow the example of Hangzhou. The secretary of the provincial party committee and the party secretary of the city should personally inspect several large factories, make models, and persuade cadres and workers (they must be persuaded with appropriate emphasis), and at the same time declare to all illegal capitalists Our lenient and serious attitude shows that our struggle against the "five evils" is not mainly for making money, but for transforming society.Hangzhou's experience is very specific and vivid, and it is worth reading.4. In addition, it is very important to adjust urban exchanges, not to adopt harsh policies in terms of payment of labor and fees, to persuade cadres to actively engage in economic work, and not to adopt a negative attitude.The Tianjin Municipal Party Committee also put forward the opinion that the payment of labor fees should not be harsh, and all localities are expected to pay attention.5. It is imperative for workers to supervise production, but it is not advisable to do it too hastily.The central government agreed to conduct typical experiments in only a few factories and stores at present, and gradually promote them in autumn or winter after the capitalists have recovered.6. The issue of workers' welfare must be resolved, but it must be resolved in a way that is in line with the actual economic situation. It cannot be too low, but it must not be too high, so that you will be trapped in a passive position.7. In short, the victory of the "three evils" and the "five evils" is extremely great. There is no doubt that the "three evils" and the "five evils" should be carried out. If we do not carry out this just struggle, we will lose.Now, when the "three evils" and "five evils" are finally finalized, we must deal with the principle of strictness and leniency in this struggle, and those who should be strict should be strict and those who should be lenient should be lenient, so as to end this struggle well. [twenty four] (May 9, 1952) nineteen Now when the "Three Antis" movement has entered the stage of court trials and the recovery of stolen goods, we must be serious and responsible, seek truth from facts, not be afraid of trouble, and stick to it to the end. Suspects that are uncertain will not be dealt with for the time being. In short, we must solve the problem truthfully. Subjectivism and fear of trouble must be overcome.This is a good study for the Communists to rule the country, and it is of great significance to the whole party and the people of the whole country.
