Chapter 86 Yan'an "Liberation Daily" published a speech

(May 16, 1941) What is the mission of this newspaper? One word to unite the people of the whole country to defeat Japanese imperialism is enough. This is the general line of the Communist Party of China, which is also the mission of this newspaper.Under the current international and domestic situation, this mission is even more serious. The question now is: Is the world a world where imperialist robbers slaughter each other, or is the world a world where the people of the world are at peace? Is China the China of Japanese imperialism, or the China of the Chinese? These questions, now the imperialist war has become a world-wide war , the time when Japanese imperialism is attempting to finally destroy China has been sharply set before us.

There is no imperialist country that is not involved in the war (the United States has actually joined the war), and the war has turned the world into a slaughterhouse. If the people of the world do not rise up against the war and strive for the peace of the people, the world will be in trouble, and mankind will be destroyed. .Now the anti-imperialist and anti-war struggle of the people all over the world has developed. This is where the real light of the world lies. The Communist Parties of all countries are at the forefront of this struggle. contact task. The Chinese problem that Japanese imperialism could not resolve during the four-year war is now trying to "finally resolve". All opinions that underestimate the Japanese imperialist attack are wrong. It is the anti-communist climax, and it is two wars.We advocate the unity of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, the elimination of friction, and a war.We must know that only one war, a war against Japanese imperialism, can repel the Japanese imperialist attack and expel Japanese imperialism.China's foreign policy must be pro-Soviet, although at the same time it must not abandon its diplomacy with Britain and the United States.China's internal policy must be a democratic policy, and all reactionary policies that are anti-communist, anti-people, and anti-democratic must be abolished.

Now is the key to China's survival. All anti-Japanese parties and people in the country must unite to deal with the main enemy, Japanese imperialism.The Communist Party of China is at the forefront of this struggle. It has been so in the past, it is still so in the present, and it will remain so in the future.The policy of the Chinese Communist Party has always been the policy of the anti-Japanese national united front.The Chinese Communist Party is kind to people. For all those who made mistakes in the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese Communist Party took the opportunity to reflect and repent, and only resolutely attacked those who betrayed the interests of the nation and were absolutely unwilling to repent.And this is absolutely necessary. If the national traitors who have betrayed the interests of the nation and are absolutely unwilling to repent are not dealt with resolutely, the national war of resistance will inevitably fail.

The mission of the Communist Party of China is the mission of this newspaper. The colleagues of this newspaper fully believe that as a result of the joint efforts of the people of the world and the Chinese people, the world will inevitably become a bright world for the people of the world, and China will inevitably become an independent China of the Chinese people. , we can crush all the attempts of Japanese imperialism.Unity, unity, unity, this is our weapon and our slogan.At the beginning of the publication of this newspaper, I would like to show my sincerity to the people of the country.
