CCP ISSUES IN-SERVICE CADRE-TRP.INING DECISION
On 29 January 1950, the South China Branch of the Chinese Communist party
issued the following decision on the "Directive Concerning the Training of in.
Service Party Cadres" of the South China Bureau, CCP Central Committee:
1. We urge all in-service party cadres in South China to follow the pro-
gram set forth in the directive, fortifying themselves in the ideologies of
Marx, Lenin, and Mao so that they may become better prepared to carry out the
difficult task of rebuilding South China. The. party committees, on all levels,
shall consider thought education and thought leadership as essentials in main-
t:.ining party leadership, and the training of in-service cadres as an important
political duty.
2. In pursuance of the directive, care shall be taken to adapt it to the
general situation in South China. Since the liberation of Kuang-chou, many
cadres have adopted irrational poli-ies and habits. Most of these cadres are
inexperienced and have found difficulty in adapting themselves to new environ-
ments. Their work has revealed lack of organization and discipline, and a ten-
dency toward being arrogant, tyrannical, proud, and inconsistent.
To comectsuch ideas and habits, the months of February, March, and April
shall be seL aside for 'reliminary training of in-service cadres. The months
of February and March snail be de- :d to correcting erroneous ideas; the month
of April, for studying such documents as the Common Program to eliminate obstruc-
tive ideas and to adopt a uniform policy based on the ideologies of Marx, Lenin
and Mao.
3. To correct detrimental ideas, each cadre shall first analyze himself
and then receive guidance from others by exchanging views and analyses of work
habits. Each cadre shall endeavor to eliminate bad habits, uphold truth, and
become imbue with the spirit of doing good to others. He shall guard against
becoming self-satisfied and arrogant which invites criticism, noncooperation,
and anger.
