In opposing subjectivism, sectarianism and stercotyped Party writing we must have in mind two pu posed: firat, “learn from past mistukes to avoid fuiure ones,“ und * secon’, “cure the sickue to save thepatient.” Which ie the y correct and effective method. Another point that should be mentioned in connection with inner-Party criticiem is that some comrudes ignore the major issucs and confine their attention to minor points when they make their criticism, ‘They do not understané that the main task of ¢ icism is to point out political and organ- ization mistakes. As to personzl shortcomings, valers they are related to political and orgaiization mistakes, there is no need to be overcritical or the Ges concerned will be at a loss as to what to do, Morcover, once cuch criticism develops, there is the freat danger that within the Party attention will be concentrated exclusively on minor favlts, end everyone will become timid and overcau- tious and forget the Party's political tusks, In innor-Party eriticism, guard accinst subjectivism, abitxerinese and the vuli on of criticisn; statements should ctress the political side. Inner-Party criticism is a weapon fer ctrengthening the Party orgmnisation and increasing its fighting capacity.

If we have shortcomings, woe are not afraid to have them pointed out and criticized, because we serve the people. Anyone, no natter «iio, may point out our shortcomings. If he io right, wo will correct them. I£ wiiat he proposes will benefit the people, we will act upon it. As Chinese Communists, who base all our actions on the highest interests of tho broadest masses of the Chincse Pepple and who are fully convinced of the justice of our cause, never balk at any porsonz) sacrifice and are ready at all times to give our lives for tha cause, can we be reluctant to discard any idsa, viewpoint, opinion oc wethod which is not suitcd to the needs of the psople? Can we be willing to allow pélitical dust and qorms to dirty ovr clean feces or eat into our healthy organisms?
