"...-There are feople who are working frantically to create a split by resorting to many dishonest tricks, spreading rumours, slinging mud and sowin dissension. But the overwhelming majori+v of people in the world want unity i the international communist movement and are opposed to a split. The activiti of certain people in creating a split, attacking the “hinese Communist Party other fraternal parties, undermining the unity of the socialist camp and of t international communist movement, .go against the desires of the overwhelming majority of the people of the world and are extremely unpopular. People can see through their tactics of sham unity and actual splitting. Historicd ly, n of the splitters who betrayed Marxism-Leninism ever came to a pleasant end. have already advisedthose who are working to create a split to "rein in at th brink of the precipice", but certain people are unwilling to tcke our advice. They believe they are not yet at the "brink", and they ere not -ready to "rei in". Appar‘satly they are greatly interested in continuing their splitting act ities. Let them go on creating trouble of they must. The masses, and history, will pass judgment on them.
Something very interesting is happening today on a wide seale in the int national communist movement. What is this interesting phenomenon ? The dought warriors who claim to possess the totality of Marxist-Leninist truth are mort afraid of the articles written in reply to their attacks by the so-called dog tists, sectarians, splitters, nationalists and Trotskyitcs whom they have so vigorously condemned. They dare not publish these articles in their own ‘news papers and journals. As cowardly as micc, they are frightened to death. They dare not let the peopvles of their own countries read our articles, and they have tricd to impose a watertight embargo. They are even using powerful stati to jam our broadcasts and prevent their people from listening to them. Dear friends and comrades, who claim to possessthe whole truth ! Since you are qi definite that our articles are wrong, why don't you publish all these erroneo articles and then refute them point by point, so as to inculcate hatred among your people against the heresics you enll dogmatism, sectarianism, and anti- Marxism-Leninism ? Why do you lack the courage to do this * Why such a stri: gent enbargo ? You fear the truth. The huge spectre you call "dogmatism", i. genuine Marxism-Leninism, is haunting the world, and it threatens you. You ha no faith in 2 peopbe_hav bn you. You are divorced from the masses. That is why you fear the truth, and carry your fear to such absurd lengths. Friends, Comrades J If you are men enough, step forward J Let each side in the debate publish all the articles in which it is criticise by the other side, and let the people in our own countries and the whole worl think and judge who is right and who is wrong. That is vhat we are doing and 1 hope you will follow our example. Ye are not afraid to publish everything of yours in full. We publish all the masterpieces in which you rail at us. Then in reply we either refute them point by point, or refute their word in answe: leaving the readers to judge for themselves. Isn't that fair and reasonable ? You, modern revisionist masters ! Do you dare do the same ? If you are men enough, you will. But having a guilty conscience and an unjust oase, being fierce of visage but faiht of heart, outwardly as tough as bulls, but inwardly; as timid as mice, you will not dare. We are sure you will not dare. Isn't that so ? Please answer J
The Chinese Communist Party believes that there is a way to settle the differences. It is the way pointed out in the Moscow Declaration and the Mos statement. As we are nearing the end of this article we shovld like to quot one of the important conclusions of the Moscow Declaration:
“ After exchanging views, the participants in the meeting arrived at the conclusions that in present conditions it is expedient, besides bilateral mee’ ings of leading workers and exchange of information, to hold, as the need ari: more representative conferences of Communist and workers' parties to discuss current problems, share experience, study ench other's views and attitudes an concert action in the joint struggle for the common goals <= peace, democracy and socialism."
We should olso like to quote the paragraphs of the Moscow statement dealing with the principles guiding the relations among fraternal parties:
" At a time when imperialist reaction is joining forces to fight communi: it is particularly imperative vigorously to consolidate the world communist movement. Unity and solidarity redouble the strength of our movement and prov: @& reliable guarantee that the great cause of communism will make victorious progress and all cnemy attacks will be effectively repelled.
Communists throughout .the world are united by the great doctrine of Marxism-Leninism and by a joint struggle for its realisation. The interests 0: the Communist movement require solidarity in adherence by every Communist Par’ to the estimates and conclusions concerning the common tasks in the struggle
coe CONT.
against imperialism, for peace, democracy and socialism, jointly ronched Dd: the fraternal parties at their mectings. ;
The interests of the struggle for the working class cause demand ever closer unity of the ranks of cach Gommunist Party and of the great army of unists of all countries; they demand of them the unity of will and action. is the supreme internationnlist duty of every Marxist- Leninist party to w continuously for greatcr unity in the world communist movement.
A resolute dofenee of the unity of tho world Comaunist movement on th principles of Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism, and the pi tion of any actions which may undermine that unity, ore a necessary condit: for victory in the struggle for national independence, democracy and peace. the successful accomplishment of the tasks of the socialist rovolution and the building of socinlism and communism. Violation .of these principle wo impair the forees of communism.
All the Marxist-Leninist parties are indopendent and have equal right: they shape their policics according to tho specific conditions in their re: ective countries ad in keeping with Marxist-Leninist principles; and supps cach other. The success of the Working class cause in any country is unthirz without the internationalist solidarity of all ifarxist-Leninist parties. Ex party is responsible to the working class, to the working people of its cot to the international wrking class and commnist movoment as n whole.
The Communist and workers' parties hold meetings whenever necessary tc discuss urgent probloms, to exchange exporicncee, acquaint themselves with « other's views-ond positions, work out common views through consultations, ¢ co-ordinate joint actions in the struggle for common goals.
Whenever a party wants to clear up questions relating to the eetivitic of another fraternal party, its leadership approaches the leadership of the party concerned;if necessary, they hold mectings and consultations .
The experience and results of the mectings of representatives of the Communist Parties held in recent years, particularly the results of the twe major meetings --that of November 1957 and this mecting -<- show that in pre day conditions such meetings are an effective form of exchanging views and pericnece, enriching Marxist-Leninist theory by collective effort and clabor ing a common attitude in the struggle for common objectivese"
Since the incident over a year go where one party at its qn Congress publicly attacked anothergfraternol party, we have appen}gd many times for resolution of the dittorcM@s. between the fraternal parti€s in accordance u the principles and procedures set forth in the Moscow Declzration and the Moscow statement, as just quoted. Wo have pointcd out many times that publi and unilateral atteks on any fraternel party are not helpful in resolving blems, and are not helpful to unity. We have constantly maintained that t fraternol parties having disputes or differcnces ought to stop the public d and return to the gourse of inter-party consultation, and that in partioul the party which first launched the attack ought to take the initiative. Our opinion today remains the same.
In April, 1962, the Contral Committee of the Ghincse Communist Party s to the fraternal party -concerned that we whole-heartedly supportod the pror made by scvernol parties that a meeting of the fraternal parties bo convened and that we believed it was appropriate to considcr the convening of a meet of representatives of the Communist and workers' parties of all countries t discuss problems of common concern.
At that time, we said that the convening of a moecting of the fraternal parties ond the success of ach o meeting would depend on the prior overcomi of many difficulties ond obstacks and on the @ ing of a great deal of prepc -ory work.
At that time we expressed the hope that the fraerno parties and friter countries which had disputes would thenceforth take steps, however smdl, t help case relations and restore unity, so as to improve the atmosphere and pare the conditions for the convening and the success of such 2 meeting.
At that times, we proposed that the fraternal perties concerned should stop making public attacks. At that time, we maintained that for some of tl fraternal parties to conduct. such bilateral or multilateral talks as were 1 ed to exchange°Pnionsyould also help to make such a meeting successful. _
These views which we put before the . fraternal party concerned in Apr: 1962 are entirely reasonable and fully conform with the provisions on the s lerent of differences between fraternal parties set forth in the Moscow Dec ation and the Moscow statement. We have since explained these views times, and we now do so again. Recently, the leaders of certain parties hay pressed a certain degree of acceptance of our views. If this is sincere anc deeds suit the words,that will certainly be very good. It is vh at we have € hoped for.We .hold that the ranks of the international Communist movemmt n unite. They will certainly unite ! Let us proclaim: Yorkers of dl countries unite J All oppressed nations and all oppressed peoples, unite # All Marxis Leninists, unite 2?
