Peking NCNA in English 1852 GMT 6 Nov 78 OW

[Text] Kathmandu, 6 Nov (HSINHUA)—Nepal and Sri Lanka share a common

resolve to strengthen their relations, says a joint press statement issued

here this afternoon at the end of Sri Lanka President J. R. Jayewardene*s

state visit to Nepal.

The joint press statement says that the two heads of state held discussions

approach to international problems.

On the first day of the visit, 4 November, the Nepalese king hosted a state

banquet in honour of the Sri Lanka President. In his speech King Birendra

said, "The principles of nonalinement had been born at a time when countries

trying to maintain their integrity and independence refused to bow before

the design and the will of the big powers. It was, in earnest, an act of

defiance against domination that characterised the colonial era in world

history."

While appreciating the desire of Sri Lanka to have the Indian Ocean made a

zone of peace, the king expressed Nepal's unconditional support for it.

In reply, President Jayewardene said that the nonalined movement was great

in ideas. "We hope we will be able to steer our course to make the great

movement accomplish its ideas of helping developing nations and other

nations of the world and to steer clear of power politics and power blocks."-

Jayewardene said that it is necessary for the smaller nations in this

region to cooperate with each other and learn to work together to develop

their countries.

The president extended an invitation to their majesties the King and Queen

SEYCHELLES' DEMANDS FOR SUPERPOWERS TO QUIT INDIAN OCEAN REPORTED

Peking NCNA in English 1929 GMT 2 Nov 78 OW

[Text] Peking, 2 Nov (HSINHUA)—The Republic of Seychelles is greatly

concerned over the superpowers presence in the Indian Ocean and wants

their total withdrawal, said Guy Sinon, Seychelles minister of foreign

affairs and tourism, in New Delhi yesterday, according to an INA dispatch.

The discussions between the United States and the Soviet Union on the Indian

Ocean were not aimed at withdrawal from that area, he said, but only at

balancing the superpowers' forces.

Moreover, he added, the Littoral states which are vitally concerned in the

matter were being ignored by the two superpowers in their discussions.

These states should be involved in the talks. He stressed that his country

would continue to demand the withdrawal of the foreign powers.

He observed that Seychelles and India held identical views on several matters

including the concept of making the Indian Ocean a zone of peace and agreement on the nonalined movement. Both countries wanted implementation of

the United Nations declaration concerning the ocean.

'NCNA' NOTES SFRY'S CONDEMNATION OF SMITH REGIME

Peking NCNA in English 0710 GMT 27 Oct 78 OW

[Text] Belgrade, 26 Oct (HSINHUA)—Yugoslavia sharply condemns the latest

acts of gross aggression committed by the Smith racist regime against Zambia

and Mozambique and the Zimbabwe refugee camps in these two countries, said

Mirko Kalezic, official spokesman of the Yugoslav Federal Foreign Secretariat

at today's press concerence.

He pointed out "heavily pressed by the liberation struggle of the people

of Zimbabwe and the growing condemnation of world public, the Ian Smith

regime is desperately trying to prolong the white minority's racists rule."

"Although the Ian Smith regime resorts to the grossest territorial violations

of neighbouring and independent countries or massacres the peaceful inhabitants of these countries," Kalezic went on, "such actions cannot break the

will and determination of the people of Zimbabwe to fight for freedom and

true independence, or this people's unity and resolve to persist in their

struggle until final victory."

The spokesman of the Yugoslav Foreign Secretariat also pointed out that the

actions of the Rhodesian racist authorities trampled upon the ethics and

basic rights of human beings, brutally violated the international law and

posed a constant threat to the peace and security of this part of the

world. He asked the United Nations, particularly the UN Security Council,

to take firm and effective measures against the racist regime in Rhodesia.

[Text] Peking, 4 Nov (HSINHUA)—The armed conflict between Ugandan and

Tanzanian forces that has taken place during the last few days in the

border areas west of Lake Victoria, has prompted a number of African leaders

to appeal to the two countries to stop fighting and settle their disputes

through peaceful negotiations and with due regard to African solidarity as

a whole, according to reports received here.

President Sekou Toure of Guinea sent a message on 2 November to the

executive president of the Organization of African Unity, calling on Uganda

mediate in the conflict.

President H. Bourguiba of Tunisia sent a telegram to Ugandan President

African solidarity." The telegram says, "Tunisia recommends you to work

by all means for the restoration of peace immediately and for negotiations

towards a peaceful and equitable settlement in accordance with the spirit

and stipulations of the OAU Charter."

In a telegram sent to the leaders of Uganda and Tanzania, the Togolese

President, G. Eyadema, called on the two conflicting countries to stop

fighting and "replace the din of war with dialogue," and show to the world

that "Africans are capable of ironing out disputes by themselves and without

external interference within the framework of the OAU."

In a speech yesterday, Seyni Kountche, the president of the Supreme Military

Council of Niger, said that the people and government of Niger and he

himself sincerely urged the leaders of Uganda and Tanzania to refrain

MEXICAN MAGAZINE DENOUNCES SOVIET AFRICAN EXPANSIONISM

Peking NCNA in English 1850 GMT 5 Nov 78 OW

[Text] Mexico City, 4 Nov (HSINHUA)—The expansionism of the Soviet Union

is pushing the world towards a new global conflagration, warned a signed

article in the latest number of the Mexican magazine IMPACTO.

Using Cubans as cannon fodder, the article said, the Soviet Union is converting Africa into an area fraught with conflicts and dangers.

Denouncing Cuba's Castro regime for disturbing world peace by conducting

expansionist activities in Africa, the article asked: How can Cuba, which

is situated on the other side of the Atlantic, economically precarious,

entirely dependent on Russia and owing an external debt of more than

$9 billion, be so generous as to have sent 60,000 soldiers to Africa to

fight in wars that neither affect nor hurt the Cuban nation?

Then the article pointed out: "Whoever has a deeper look at the African

affairs will clearly see that it is the Soviet Union which is behind all

this Cuban intervention in Africa. It is Russian planes that have transported these 60,000 soldiers to Africa. The fact that the air bridge bearing

the Soviet mark shows that the government of General Castro is nothing but

a 'piece' in that world chess game and that it is the hand of the Soviet

Union that is moving this pawn on that big chess-board of the world." This

is where the interests of the Soviet global strategy lie and it does not

matter whether it is convenient for the Castro regime to appear in Africa,

the article added.

It went on to say: "A shallow study of the situation in many parts of the

world Leads to an irrefutable conclusion that it is the Soviet Union on

the expansionist march that is pushing the world towards another conflagration. "

combined petrochemical industry and cooperate in selling its products.

intelligence centre so as to reduce gradually dependence on the U.s". decisions were also made at the meeting concerning cooperation in technology

not only for the two peoples and two countries but also for the whole of

Asia. After many years of hostile and war situation between the two countries

as a result of Japanese militarism, the treaty comes now to put the relations

between the two countries on a new basis of equality, non-intervention and

respect for each other. This is the common desire of the two peoples. It

adds, "The acceptance by the two sides of the obligation to avoid

hegemonism and to fight against it, if it is practiced by a third country,

ushers in a new era not only in the relations between the two countries but

generally in the whole area of southeastern Asia which is today a point of

acute rivalry between the superpowers for hegemony. The treaty secures

the friendly and peaceful relations between the two countries and sets an

example of relations for the area, relations which can eliminate the sources

of tension and strengthen the struggle for keeping peace and stability."

The article says, "It is not a mere chance that the treaty was hailed by

the majority of the countries of Asia and even by countries of Europe, with

the miserable exception of Russia and its satellites which even tried with

open blackmail against Japan to avert the signing of the treaty. It is

evident that Russia was annoyed, despite the fact that it is not mentioned

by name in the treaty, because of the treaty's implication of anti-hegemonism

which is an obstacle to the expansionist plans of Russia. It is for this

reason that all the peace-loving peoples and countries, including the Greek

people, are accepting the signing of this treaty with great enthusiasm

and joy."

PRC'S NORTHEAST PROVINCES COORDINATE ON EDUCATION, CULTURE

Harbin Heilungkiang Provincial Service in Mandarin 1100 GMT 5 Nov 78 OW

[Excerpts] To achieve even better coordination and cooperation, the three

northeastern provinces held a coordination meeting of their propaganda,

cultural and educational fronts from 16 to 19 October in Harbin Municipality.

This was the first such meeting since the smashing of the "gang of four."

A total of 30 persons attended, including Chang Shu-te, secretary of the

Liaoning Provincial CCP Committee; Li Chien-pai, secretary of the

Heilungkiang Provincial CCP Committee; Sung Chen-ting, standing committee

member of the Kirin Provincial CCP Committee and vice chairman of the Kirin

Provincial Revolutionary Committee; and directors of the three provinces'

propaganda departments, cultural and educational offices, educational

bureaus and cultural bureaus. During the meeting Comrade Yang I-chen,

first secretary of the Heilungkiang Provincial CCP Committee, and other

leading comrades of the same committee received the attendees.

The meeting's participants freely talked about the excellent situation on

the propaganda, cultural and education fronts in thoroughly exposing and

criticizing the "gang of four" and successfully carrying out the third

campaign. They exchanged information and experiences in theoretical,

propaganda, cultural and educational work. They all held that before the

cultural revolution, the three provinces had close contacts and cooperation

and benefited each other. Since the beginning of the great cultural

revolution, however, the three neighboring fraternal provinces' long existing cooperative relations were disrupted and sabotaged by Lin Piao and the

"gang of four." Thus it was now very necessary for them to resume these

cooperative relations for mutual benefit and common progress in order to

better implement the line of the party's 11th National Congress and the

party's line, principles and policies on propaganda, cultural and

educational work.

Through consultations, the three provinces reached the following agreements:

Each of the three provinces has some good professors, experts and middle and

primary school teachers. Arrangements should be made for them to give lectures

and hold jobs concurrently in order to spread their teaching experience and

scientific research results.

19
Institutes of higher learning in the three provinces all have some departments with good foundations and outstanding teachers. They should wholeheartedly help weaker counterparts in fraternal provinces to train teachers

for common advancement.

The three provinces should jointly sponsor roundtable discussions on special

academic subjects. When such discussions are held, comrade experts from

related college departments of fraternal provinces should be invited.

Closer contacts should be maintained among the three provinces' educational

administrative departments and similar colleges and universities to

exchange experience in educational work and scientific research data.

The three provinces should immediately resume cooperation in running

correspondence courses for middle school teachers, with appropriate

division of labor and joint efforts in compiling and printing teaching

materials. Overlapping efforts and waste should be avoided. While experience in running correspondence courses should be exchanged periodically.

The three provinces should hold a meeting as soon as possible on coordinating

compilation of teaching materials for traditional Chinese as well as Western

medicine and should assign a certain number of experienced teachers to

examine such teaching materials. Heilungkiang Province is to print these

materials.

Kirin Province has done a great deal in compiling teaching materials in the

Korean and Manchu languages and will continue to be responsible for this

task.

The three provinces should periodically hold meetings on coordinating

production and supply of teaching aids.

Meeting participants also discussed and studied the subject of socialist

emulation in educational work and tentatively decided on the principle and

methods of emulation and on the participating units.

The meeting also discussed matters regarding cooperation in theoretical,

propaganda and cultural work. The meeting decided that a coordination

meeting for the three northeastern provinces' propaganda, cultural and

educational fronts should be held at least once yearly and that the

second meeting will be held in Liaoning Province.

SHANTUNG HANDLES RETALIATION CASE

Tsinan Shantung Provincial Service in Mandarin 2300 GMT 4 Nov 78 SK

[Excerpts] The Taian County Party Committee has deeply implemented the

important instruction issued by the central authorities in regard to the

investigation report made by the Shensi Provincial Party Committee on a

few cadres in Hsuni County who arbitrarily gave orders and violated law

and discipline. The county committee strictly dealt with a case in which

a person who reported facts to the higher level was persecuted. This has

received great support from the vast number of cadres and masses.

(Li Kuei-sheng) is a commune member of (Shihho) brigade, (Shangfan) commune

in Taian County. On many occasions, he reported to the higher level the

fact that his brigade unreasonably confiscated his 14 privately-owned trees,

and that (Li Chih-hua), secretary of the brigade party branch, refused to

implement the party's policy, gave a hard time to good people, shielded

and connived with bad elements and corrupted moral integrity.

(Li Chih-hua) not only refused to repent, but also harboured a grudge against

(Li Kuei-sheng). He passed strictures on (Li Kuei-sheng) and persecuted

him in various ways. (Li Chih-hua) successively conducted 13 outrages,

bitterly beating (Li Kuei-sheng), taking him into custody, ferreting him

out as an object of struggle and searching his house. On several occasions

(Li Kuei-sheng) reported to the leading organs of higher level (Li Chih-hua's)

acts which violated law and discipline. At this, (Li Chih-hua) went even

further to adopt despicable measures, not only to continue persecuting

(Li Kuei-sheng) himself, but also to beat and scold his family members,

relatives and friends.

The criminal acts of (Li Chih-hua), who persecuted and directed blows at a

person who reported facts to the higher level have drawn the anger of the

masses. They vied to report the facts to higher levels.

21
Leading comrades of the Shantung Provincial Party Committee issued an

important instruction on the case. The Taian County Party Committee assigned

its deputy secretary, (Li Jung-te), to lead a working group to investigate

and deal with the case in this commune. The investigation showed that the

problem reported to the higher level of the party by (Li Kuei-sheng) was

true. (Li Chih-hua) violated law and discipline, corrupted moral integrity

and dealt blows at and persecuted the person who revealed his crimes to the

higher level. His tricks were vicious, his crimes serious and his

pernicious influence considerable. Taian County made a resolution to

dismiss (Li Chih-hua) from all his posts both inside and outside the party

and expel him from the party. According to the procedures of the law

(Li Chih-hua) will first be arrested and then punished according to law.

KIRIN SECRETARY ADDRESSES FINANCE AND TRADE CONFERENCE

Changchun Kirin Provincial Service in Mandarin 0420 GMT 5 Nov 78 SK

[Excerpts of 15 October speech by Chang Shih-ying at Kirin provincial

conference of financial and trade departments on learning from Taching

and Tachai: "Develop Financial and Trade Work With the Spirit of Taching

and Tachai and Strive to Promote the Development of the National Economy

at High Speed and Accelerate the Realization of the Four Modernizations"—

read by announcer]

[Excerpts] The glorious task for the financial and trade departments is to

promote the steady, rapid development of the national economy, wholeheartedly

serve the people's livelihood and advance the early achievement of the four

modernizations. To push forward financial and trade work and to shoulder

the entrusted glorious task for the new period, the most important thing

to do is to carry through to the end the great struggle to expose and

crxticize Lin Piao and the "gang of four."

The interference and sabotage caused by Lin Piao, the "gang of four" and the

former principal responsible member of the Kirin Provincial Party Committee

m financial and trade work are very serious. We must deeply mobilize

the masses to make a success of the third campaign to expose and criticize

the gang of four" by linking the campaign with the reality in their

respective units, penetratingly expose and criticize Lin Piao, the "gang

of four" and the former principal responsible member of the Kirin

Provisional Party Committee for their crimes in pushing the counterrevolutionary revisionist line and thoroughly eliminate their pernicious

influence. We must persist in the ideology of taking agriculture as the

foundation, resolutely attach first importance to supporting agriculture,

bring all work into the framework of taking agriculture as the foundation

and use every possible means to promote the development of grain production,

raise the proportion of commercial grain and strive to fulfill the planned

tasks of the province.

We must actively support the building of commercial grain base areas. Our

province is one of the 12 commercial grain base areas of the country. The

provincial party committee has decided to make the 27 counties in the

27
Sungliao Plain a commercial grain base area. We must concentrate our main

material force and financial sources on building the commercial grain base

area well—especially on supporting well the seven counties which are to be

built into commercial grain base area counties in the next 2 years, enabling

them to become modern granaries with high labor productivity. At the same

time we must push forward grain production in other localities. From now

on, the flexible funds used for developing agriculture should be no less

than 70 percent at provincial level and no less than 80 percent at

prefectural and county levels.

We must actively support the development of commune- and brigade-run enterprises. Financial and trade departments must actively support industrial

production, especially agriculture-oriented industry such as farm machines,

chemical fertilizer, plastic sheeting for farm use and agricultural chemicals.

They should also support the development of other industries.

We must give simultaneous consideration to the development of production and

the improvement of the people's living standard and resolutely arrange the

livelihood of the masses well in the manner of the new long march. At

present the most important thing to do is to supply industrial products to

rural areas and supply non-staple food to urban areas. To solve fundamentally the problem of meat supply, we must devote our efforts to the

development of production. We must strengthen the establishment of a

commercial service network in towns and rural areas.

We must emancipate our thinking, be bolder and broaden our minds and actively

create conditions for pushing forward our province's foreign trade so that

the foreign trade of our province will be greatly developed. Proceeding

from the development of production, we must actively expand sources of

export commodities. While actively developing the export of industrial

products, we must also do a good job in building production base areas for

agriculture and sideline products as well as indigenous and native products

and develop and export the traditional popular-brand agriculture and

sideline products which have a stable market and are good foreign exchange

earners.

In accordance with the needs of industrial and agricultural production and

on the basis of our findings through successful investigation and study,

we must introduce advanced foreign technology in a planned manner with

emphasis on certain key projects.

To improve enterprise management, it is necessary to persist in applying

economic methods to manage the economy while putting proletarian politics

in command. Party committees at all levels must grasp the consolidation

and examination of financial and economic disciplines as a great struggle.

They must commend those who do a good job in observing discipline,

resolutely forbid all erroneous actions which violate financial and

economic discipline or result in waste of state funds and give disciplinary

penalties in cases where such actions are serious. Cadres in charge of

28
financial and monetary affairs and personnel handling financial work in

enterprises must present themselves as examples in observing financial

and economic discipline, adhere to principles and have the courage to

struggle. We must support all cadres and the masses who defend the

financial and economic discipline of the state. No one should be allowed

to retaliate.

The key to pushing forward financial and commercial work and to shouldering

the glorious task in the new period lies in strengthening the party's

leadership. Party committees at all levels must include financial and

commercial work on their daily agenda and grasp it realistically and firmly.

They should grasp industry, agriculture and commerce simultaneously and

politics and economics simultaneously and see to it that they have unified

planning and that inspection of the work is strengthened and guidance is

given in a timely manner.

'LIBERATION DAILY' ON POSTGRADUATE FROM REACTIONARY FAMILY

Peking Domestic Service in Mandarin 2230 GMT 30 Oct 78 OW

[Text] According to a LIBERATION DAILY report, Shanghai's Chiaotung University this year enrolled a postgraduate student named (Mi Hsieh), who was

born into a reactionary family, who had undesirable social relations, yet

whose own political showing was fairly good and who received outstanding

marks on the entrance examination.

(Mi Hsieh), 35, is a teacher and leader on the mathematics faculty of

Shanghai's (Changte) Middle School. His father, originally a reactionary

KMT army officer, was arrested by the dictatorship organ in 1952 for his

counterrevolutionary crimes and was suppressed shortly afterwards. His

grandfather was suppressed in the early postliberation days because of his

landlordship. A number of his maternal uncles and aunts are in Taiwan.

Some are KMT special agents and others are senior officers in the Chiang

bandit army.

The personal records of (Mi Hsieh) himself are clean. He was only 9 when

his father was suppressed. His reactionary relatives all escaped to Taiwan

before liberation and (Mi Hsieh) never saw them. He never concealed these

'facts from the authorities. When he graduated from [the] university in

1963, he was recommended by the school, on the basis of his good academic

record, to apply for the qualifying examination for a research fellowship

from the Institute of Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. In his

examination records, he ranked second. He was not accepted because he

failed the political investigation.

In spring this year, (Mi Hsieh) applied to take the postgraduate examination

for applied mathematics in Chiaotung University. His average score in all

tested subjects was over 80. His scores in the two specialized subjects

in the second-state examination were all outstanding and he passed the

physical examination. After investigation and analysis, the party committee

of Chiaotung University held that although his family and social relations

were undesirable, his own behavior proved that he had made a clean break

with his reactionary family politically and ideologically.

CHINESE DIRECTOR REVIEWS JAPAN FILM WEEK IN PEKING

Peking NCNA in English 0517 GMT 29 Oct 78 OW

[Text] Peking, 29 Oct (HSINHUA)--The noted Chinese film director Yuan

Wen-shu commented on the opening of the Japanese film week which began on

26 October in Peking.

Yuan Wen-shu pointed out in an article in the KWANGMING DAILY that the

signing of the Sino-Japanese Treaty of Peace and Friendship had not only

tightened the friendship and cooperation between the two countries, but

had also provided a bright future for film exchange between the two

countries. Since the founding of new China, he wrote, there had been many

mutual exchanges of films and visits by film workers. However, for a

variety of reasons, these had been suspended for some time. Last year,

Japanese friends had sponsored two seasons of Chinese films in Tokyo and

Osaka and China had invited a Japanese delegation of producers of short

films to China. The friendship between the film workers of the two

countries had been further enhanced by the constant improvement of SinoJapanese relations.

He continued that the holding of the Japanese film week would further

strengthen friendly ties between the film workers of the two countries and

would promote the development of friendship between the two peoples.

The three films shown in the current Japanese film week, he said, represented three different styles. "The film 'Pursuit,'" he said, "depicts a society

in which money means everything, and law was only a matter of form. When

the enforcement of law infringes upon the interests of people of a certain

influence, anyone who wants to act strictly according to law draws disaster

upon himself. The theme of the film has profound implications. The hero

shows a staunchness in fighting evil influences.

'"Looking Homeward,'" Yuan Wen-shu went on, "is the story of a woman who is

sold as a prostitute in a foreign country. The film exposes the unfairness

in the society. Some people obtained money, fame and position at the

expense of the prostitutes; but finally these people declare prostitution

32
infamous and disown them. The film makes a powerful accusation and is a

penetrating exposure. The film director has attained a high level of art

in the conception of the film."

smoothly. The quality of the new students this year is better than last

35
year. Th-y have good political situations, outstanding achievements and

good physical health. Among them, 75 percent are party members and CYL

members. Some 97 percent come from families of workers, peasants or other

jiboring people. This year, according to the principle of over-all planning

and all-round consideration, colleges and universities in certain localities

admitted a number of students who came from low educational standard localities but made a total score of 290 to 300. The enrollment work at secondary

vocational schools and technical schools in our province was also concluded.

This year 35,000 students were admitted into 170 secondary vocational

schools and 57 technical schools. Admission certificates will be

KWEICHOW HOLDS MEETING TO PROMOTE FOURTH QUARTER TASKS

Kweiyang Kweichow Provincial Service in Mandarin 1100 GMT 19 Oct 78 HK

[Summary] The Kweichow Provincial Economic Committee recently held a

meeting of responsible comrades of provincial industry and communications

bureaus, and of industry and communications offices of various prefectures, autonomous prefectures and municipalities to sum up experiences

gained in the third quarter and to formulate plans for work in the

fourth quarter.

The participants called on the staff and workers on the industry and

communications front throughout the province to work hard in the fourth

quarter to fulfill or overfulfill the yearly plan. Chih Pi-ching, second

secretary of the provincial CCP committee and vice chairman of the

provincial revolutionary committee, and Sung Hsiao-o Veng, vice chairman

of the provincial revolutionary committee, attended and spoke at the

meeting.

"The participants summed up work experiences gained in the previous

three quarters. They said: Guided by Chairman Hua's strategic policy

decision on grasping the key link of class struggle and bringing about

great order across the land, the staff and workers on our province's

industry and communications front have relentlessly exposed and criticized the 'gang of four,' conducted the one criticism and two blows movement, deeply studied and publicized the general task for the new period,

and deeply conducted the movement to learn from Taching in industry over

the past three quarters. As a result, production has been greatly promoted. Since the holding of the provincial conference on learning from

Taching in industry in Anshun by the provincial CCP committee, work in

various localities, departments and units has been further promoted.

Product quality was greatly improved in September. By 10 September,

value of output in our province fulfilled 79 percent of the yearly

plan—an increase of 36.8 percent as compared with last year's same

period—and surpassed the requirement put forward by the State Economic

Commission."

^3
The participants said: While fully affirming our achievements, we must

also understand our shortcomings. Production in our province is uneven

and the levels of enterprise management and product quality are still

low as compared with other advanced provinces and localities. To fulfill

or overfulfill the yearly plan, we must therefore work hard in the

fourth quarter. We must pay great attention to product quality, strive

to fulfill the eight economic indexes, formulate overall plans, and make

concrete arrangements.

The participants demanded: "The masses of staff and workers on the industry and communications front must carry through to the end the great

struggle to expose and criticize the 'gang of four' and, the connection

with actual conditions, criticize the counterrevolutionary revisionist

line of Lin Piao and the 'gang of four' which is fake left and real right,

eliminate their pernicious influence and restore order. We must seriously

act according to economic law and must not simply act according to the

will of our supervisors. On the premise of putting politics in command,

we must make full use of economic means and organization. We must also

do well in turning losses into profits. Besides striving to improve

product quality, all factories, mines and enterprises must help communes

and production brigades run commune- and brigade-run enterprises well,

and do well in handling the three wastes.

"Leadership at all levels must improve workstyle, be responsible for the

revolutionary cause, and do their best in work, study and struggle. We

must study theory, politics, economics, management, science and technology and culture. We must also humbly listen to the opinions of the

people, show concern for them, seriously listen to people's suggestions

regarding fulfillment of the four modernizations, and solve problems

which the people report."

'HEILUNGKIANG DAILY' CALLS FOR HANDLING MERCHANDISE WITH CARE

Harbin Heilungkiang Provincial Service in Mandarin 1100 GMT 12 Oct 78 OW

[12 October HEILUNGKIANG DAILY commentator's article: "Merchandise Must

Be Protected"]

[Text] During "quality month," it has been found that many production

enterprises, transport departments and stores do not take good care of

merchandise. As a result of improper packing, shipment, handling or

storage, up-to-standard commodity sometimes is damaged, thus becoming

a defective article or a reject, causing heavy loss to the state.

Product quality can be adversely affected by carelessness in any of the

many steps during the production process. For example, if a worker

follows the proper production procedure, he can easily produce a glossy

product as specified, but improper storage or careless handling can mar

its surface with scratches. So it may need repair or have to be discarded. In this case, isn't it a waste of material and time? Some

products are made in a process which involves many steps. They can be

damaged due to improper storage or careless handling at any stage. If

we assemble a piece of equipment with damaged parts, how can we guarantee

its effectiveness? Some products are up-to-standard when they leave the

factory, but they may be damaged during storage or shipment because of

poor packing. Isn't such damage to state property avoidable?

It is worth noting that many transport departments are handling the

freight in a very rough manner because they are still under the pernicious influence of anarchism. Their rough handling has badly damaged

many goods originally in good condition on board freight cars. They

even smash solid goods such as bricks into pieces, let alone fragile

goods. How can we restrain our anger at them?

The above-mentioned phenomena show poor management, a poor system of

personal responsibility and, in particular, a lack of punitive and

reward measures in many enterprises. Failure to reward persons for

good performances or punish them for misconduct has encouraged further

misconduct. Now it is time to improve the situation. We should educate

^
the masses of workers to cherish state property. We should also take

disciplinary action to improve the situation at the enterprises. We

should give both moral encouragement and material reward to those who

produce more and better products and cherish state property. In order

to strictly enforce law and labor regulations, protect public property

and satisfy the people's material needs, we should take appropriate

economic sanction against any units or individuals that produce poor

products and damage state property.

•SHANGTUNG DAILY' PUBLISHES COMPLAINT ON HOUSING

Tsinan Shantung Provincial Service in Mandarin 2300 GMT 3 Nov 78 SK

[Report on letter from (Li Yen-ju) published in TACHUNG DAILY on 4 November]

[Excerpts] The letter says: An issue which has been widely discussed recently among cadres of provincial organs and the masses is that some leading

cadres ignore the fact that the broad masses are living in crowded houses

and arbitrarily want to occupy more office dormitories than they actually

need. Failure to solve this issue will adversely effect unity and cause

alienation from the masses. This issue should be given attention by leading

comrades at various levels and be firmly grasped and solved.

The problem of housing is a major issue in the people's livelihood. In order

to solve this problem, the state is now vigorously building dormitories.

With the development of the national economy, housing conditions must be

continuously improved. However, since we are now concentrating our efforts

on speeding up the four modernizations, we need some more time to solve the

housing problem. Therefore, there still will not be sufficient housing

for a period of time. In this situation, cadres, staff members and workers

inside our party are devoting their (?minds) to speeding up the realization

of the four modernizations and their strength to carrying out the revolutionary undertakings. With the broad masses of cadres, staff members and

workers facing this problem, how can those leading cadres who use their

power and position to occupy more houses for personal convenience feel at

ease?

The fact that leading cadres have bigger and more comfortable houses can be

accepted and understood by the cadres, staff members and workers. However,

some leading cadres have not the least concept of the masses, ignore the

general situation, constantly seek personal interests and actively plan

for their own children and relatives. They want more houses and better

living conditions, though they now have many houses and good conditions.

^7
We ardently hope that these leading cadres will bring into play the party's

glorious tradition of plain living and hard struggle, set strict demands

on themselves in regard to housing, strengthen the mass concept and take

the initiative in quickly returning the houses they irrationally occupied,

so as to solve the problem of the masses. At the same time, we hope that

departments concerned will quickly adopt measures, work out rules and

actively correct the bad work style of these leading cadres [words

indistinct] and ask them to return those occupied houses within a given time.

As for those who refuse to do so or are unreasonable, it is necessary to

adopt the method of giving economic sanctions.

HUPEH HOLDS CONFERENCE ON INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION

[Summary] The Hupeh Provincial CCP Committee held a telephone conference

on industrial production for the industrial and communications front on

the evening of 4 November. The conference called on the staff and workers

throughout the province to work hard during the last 2 months of this year

and to overfulfill the annual production quotas. Ku Ta-chun, secretary

of the provincial CCP committee, and Tien Ying, vice chairman of the provincial revolutionary committee, attended the conference. Ku Ta-chun

spoke. He discussed the excellent situation of industrial production in

the province. He noted: By the end of October, the province's total

value of industrial output was 80 percent of the total value of industrial

output in 1976. He said that industrial production in October was not ideal

and that the total value of industrial output in that month was less than

in September. He then demanded: "We must therefore fulfill the provincial

quota for total value of industrial output for this year in November and

December." "To overfulfill the production quotas in an all-round way it

is now essential to first grasp electricity production. We must strive to

generate more electricity and to generate it steadily. We must develop

hydroelectricity and thermoelectricity." The province must consume

electricity in a planned and thrifty way.

Ku Ta-ahun also pointed out: "We must strengthen centralized leadership

and do a good job of democratic management. This is a guarantee for

overfulfilling the quotas for this year in an all-round way. All prefectures,

departments and enterprises must straighten out enterprises." All enterprises

should conduct socialist labor emulation, show concern for the masses'

livelihood and grasp production safety. In overfulfilling the production

quotas for this year, the province should further grasp exposure and criticism

of the "gang of four" and continue to fight the third campaign.

SHANGHAI MILL WORKERS EXERCISE DEMOCRATIC RIGHTS

Peking NCNA in English 1249 GMT 3 Nov 78 OW

[Text] Shanghai, 3 Nov (HSINHUA)—An announcement put up recently in

Shanghai's largest printing and dyeing mill has been of great interest to

all the workers. It states that the mill leadership has, on the recommendation of workers' representatives, removed the director of the engraving

workshop from his post on charges of embezzlement and has decided to have

the workers elect their new director.

This is an example of how workers exercise their democratic rights through

the workers' congress system under the leadership of the mill party

committee.

The engraving workshop director embezzled nearly half of the workers'

collective mutual aid funds to buy himself a television set, a sewing

machine and a watch.

His crime was discovered by workers' representatives in the shop. When they

found that workers who were in financial difficulties could get little help

from the collective funds, they decided to make an investigation. They

first reported to the mill's trade union which sent staff to examine the

accounts. When the facts were made clear and the crime proved, they took

into consideration the director's usual conduct on the basis of public

opinion and made their recommendation. This helped the mill party

committee make its final decision.

The last workers' congress of the No 1 printing and dyeing mill was held in

1965, After a gap of 13 years, the mill's 2,100 workers elected 278 representatives and held a workers' congress in May this year.

The representatives come from the mill's 137 work groups, shifts and

sections. One-third of them are advanced workers and technicians make up

10 percent. Their term of office is 1 year, during which time they have

the right to participate in the preparation of the mill's production plan,

management, personnel arrangements, workers' welfare and labour protection.

50
At the workers' congress the mill's director makes a work report which is

discussed. Major problems come before the congress.

At the congress held in May, the mill's production plan for this year was

revised and then fixed after thorough investigation and discussion by the

representatives. The leadership originally submitted to the congress a plan

to increase production by 12 percent after twice discussing among the cadres.

The representatives proposed a 15-percent increase and the plan was formally

adopted by the party committee.

The mill reported a 16.3 percent rise in its total output value in the first

9 months of this year over the same period in 1977.

The congress made decisions about the system of management at the mill

after lengthy discussion. The leadership had originally made no provision

to set up a section to take charge of workers' education. The representatives felt that workers were in urgent need of raising their technical and

cultural level. Many are studying English, printing and dyeing theory and

electronics by themselves. They felt that it was better to establish an

education section to supervise the workers' spare-time education.

Now the section organizes technical classes and forums at regular times in

addition to a spare-time cultural and technical school.

The mill has set up an investigation group of 100 people who are mainly

workers' representatives. The group makes regular appraisals of the work of

the mill director and of all sections, workshops and production groups.

In the investigation conducted last September, the mill director and all

departments reported on their work to the group. The group covered 143

items and measured the mill's plan for learning with that of the national

pace-setter, Taching. Departments then made conscientious studies of the

opinions and put forward 129 measures aimed at improvement.

When the workers' congress is not in session, the mill's trade union does

the routine work and urges all members to take part in democratic management.

Trade unions often organise social gatherings, which they use as an

opportunity to collect the workers' views.

In accordance with the guidelines from China's recent trade union congress

all industrial enterprises will establish a workers' congress system like

this one at the Shanghai No 1 printing and dyeing mill. A number of

Shanghai factories have already called workers' congresses. Over 20 belong

to the textile industry.

SHANGHAI TEXTILE INDUSTRY SETS PACE IN FOREIGN TRADE

Peking NCNA Domestic Service in Chinese 0127 GMT 30 Oct 78 OW

[Excerpts] Shanghai, 30 Oct—The Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Textile

Industry has established 26 plants and 1 company—a silk industrial company—

solely to serve the export trade. Experience accumulated during the past

2 months or more proves that this measure has been effective in speeding

up the development of foreign trade.

To enable these plants and the company to produce high quality products,

diversify their variety, deliver orders ahead of schedule and fulfill

contract provisions to the satisfaction of a purchaser, the Shanghai

Municipal Bureaus of Textile Industry and Foreign Trade have authorized cadres

in charge of foreign trade at these plants and the company to contact foreign

businessmen directly to discuss business. In this way production can be

organized as soon as a contract is signed, and any delay in delivering

goods, usually caused by negotiations between middlemen and foreign purchasers,

can be avoided.

Since the establishment of the plants and the company, the departments of

industry and foreign trade have increased their cooperation, encouraged

producers and sellers to establish direct contact, and helped the plants

improve their management and efficiency so they can deliver goods ahead of

schedule.

Last August, a foreign businessman placed an order for more than 20 varieties

of printed cloth, which are relatively difficult to design and produce.

During the negotiations, the Department of Foreign Trade in Shanghai was

unable to decide on a response to this order. However, a cadre from the

No 3 printing and dyeing plant was there at the negotiations. He immediately urged the representative of the Foreign Trade Department to accept the

order, thus solving a problem to the satisfaction of the foreign businessman.

Following the negotiations, the foreign businessman offered to expand his

trade with us.

52
The newly established export plants are also instrumental in renovating

old plants and in raising our level of production technology. The Shanghai

Municipal Bureau of Textile Industry has decided to gradually increase the

number of special export plants. It also wants to import new technology

and equipment from abroad to renovate the old plants through using subsidy

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

NUCLEAR SCIENCE AND NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY

Duesseldorf ATOMWIRTSCHAFT-ATOMTECHNIK in German No 9, Sep 78 pp 406-407

_/Text/ The author presents an overview of this little

known subject after a 3-week tour made in March 1978 at

the invitation of the Institute for Nuclear Energy of the

Chinese Academy of Sciences and on the basis of reports of

other Western scientists who visited nuclear facilities in

the People's Republic of China in recent years.

Introduction

In China there are no organization charts, statistics, annual reports or

other descriptions of scientific and technical facilities with fairly

recent and reliable data that one could use as a basis for a report. The

size and diversity of the country, the complexity of its organization, the

secrecy surrounding all areas of possible military and economic significance and the sudden and drastic policy changes, which bear heavily on

the work of the scientific bodies, do not help to clarify the subject. We

will try to give here a short presentation of the subject, because of the

interest recently shown in China for peaceful nuclear technology and of the

large potential for collaboration between China and Germany in this area

in the long range.

The Political Background

One will remember the surprise of Western experts at the first Chinese

nuclear test, which demonstrated a highly developed uranium separation

technology. In addition, it took China less time than other nuclear powers,

i.e., only 32 months, to perform a thermonuclear test after its first

fission bomb. According to French assumptions CXI these successes were based

on the work of about 1,000 atomic technicans, who were trained in the UCSR

(80 percent) and in the West (20 percent) and called back at the beginning

of the sixties.

Until recently there was practically only little interest in the peaceful

application of nuclear energy, as China has large coal and oil and unutilized

hydraulic resources.

63
At the same time, the per capita energy requirements are very small The

traveler observes that there are practically no heating and air conditioning facilities and that agriculture, which occupies 85 percent of all

Chinese, is only mechanized to a small extent.

The "cultural revolution" of 1966 and its long range consequences have also

harmed the whole university system, and research and technology development in a way that cannot be estimated even today. Although work was

continued during those years in a few critical areas of high military

economic or prestige value, the absence of contacts with the outside world

the lack of training of the new generation during ten years, the repressive

political climate, etc., were very detrimental. Wu Heng, State Secretary

for Science and Technology, declared recently: [2j "The Gang of Four considered

knowledge as a crime, interrupted the work of the research institutes and

prohibited the study of basic scientific theories "

For this reason, there was only a small study group of ten people under

the direction of Lien Pei-sheng at the Nuclear Energy Institute of the

Academia Sinica (AS) in Peking, who, from about 1973 on, kept track of

foreign nuclear economic development and reactor technology, performed

studies of systems and fuel cycles, primarily on boiling and pressurized

water reactors and among other things visited nuclear power plants and

laboratories in the FRG. The interest was focused on power ratings below

600 MWe for special locations.

Following the change of leadership in China and the political transformations, which are called there "the fall of the Gang of Four", the climate

for science and technology in the country and the position with respect

to nuclear energy have changed radically. The main reasons for this are:

—ambitious plans of the new leadership for industrialisation and mechanisation of agriculture,

—increased exports of coal and oil, especially to the industrialized

countries of the Far East,

—a more open and more conventional science policy, with the goal of

catching up as fast as possible the 10 years practically lost between

1966 and 1976.

The successor of Mao, Hua Kuo-feng in a statement of principle declared

at the first session of the fifth National People's Congress in Peking, A7

that modern science and technology are characterized mainly by the use of

nuclear energy, the development of computers and the exploration of space,"

and ...we must make an effort to develop new scientific techniques, build

nuclear power plants...." The fact that the State Chinese News Agency

Hsmghua, which really does not publish news in the Western sense of the

word, extensively covered the visit of a high-ranking Chinese delegation

to nuclear facilities in Germany, France and Italy, deserves attention.

6k
Hsinghua also covered in great detail A7 the visit of the Brazilian president

Geisel to Germany nuclear research laboratories and the new agreements.

Obviously the German firmness in the Brazilian treaties impressed the Peking

leadership, which is known for its antihegemony trends.

Other indices for the increased appreciation of nuclear energy are the transfer of the nuclear power plant planning group to the Department of Water

Economy and Energy and the appointment of the director of the Institute for

Atomic Energy of the AS, Prof. Ch'ien San-ch'iang, to the post of vicepresident of the AS. Strict and technically oriented examinations have been

introduced again at universities for registration and graduation, and mandatory working years in agriculture or industry are no longer a condition for

admission.

In March 1978 a first National Science Conference was held in Peking, where

an ambitious eight-year plan was put together on the basis of individual

responsibility of the scientist and material rewards for outstanding performance. [5j The deputy first minister and minister for Research and Technology

Fang I underlined particularly the encouragement of nuclear energy projects

in his declaration of principles on 20 March 1978. The number of "professional

research workers" are to be increased to 800,000 through 1986. The current

15-20 years backlog of China with respect to Western powers must be reduced

to 10 years. To achieve this, Fang I also recommends exchange programs,

participation of Chinese experts to international conferences and increased

invitation of Western experts to China.

Existing Facilities

The Academia Sinica is, although it has recently been somehwat decentralized,

still responsible for practically all scientific research in China. The

results in physics are published in Chinese (with English summary) in the

periodicals in Acta Physica Sinica and Physica Energiae Fortis et Physica

Nuclearis f&J, which appear six times per year.

The following facilities are gladly shown to foreign visitors:

1. The Nuclear Energy Institute of the AS at Fangshan, ca-50 km southwest

of Peking, with a staff of about 1,500 (of which 50 percent are scientists

and technicians, and 25 percent are women). The Institute was built in 1958

and has two facilities which look outdated nowadays, but are the only ones in

the People's Republic of China: a 3.5 MWth light water reactor, and a 10 MWth

heavy water reactor. In addition there is a cyclotron accelerating deuterons

to 14 MeV. The four departments deal with nuclear physics, chemistry of

transuranics, reactor materials, and preparation of isotopes for medicine

and .scientific purposes.

2. The Physics Institute of the AS in Peking, with a staff of approximately

650, of which 450 are scientists and technicians. Its seven departments work

on plasma physics (90 cm Tokamak), solid state physics (magnetism cristallography, low temperature and high pressure physics), laser, acoustics, and

theoretical questions.

65
3. The Institute for Biophysics of the AS in Peking with a staff of approximately 250 and five departments, in particular for radiation biology (with

a large Cobalt-60 source), crystalline structure (determination of the

structure of insulin, synthetically made in China, with a resolution of

1.8 A) and instrumentation. There are liquid scintillation counters built

in China, a whole body counter, readers of thermoluminescent detectors, etc.

available.

4. The Institute for Nuclear Research of the AS approximately 40 km outside

Shanghai with a staff of 500, of whom 300 are scientists. The main areas

of interest are low-energy physics, radiation chemistry, isotope production,

preparation of labeled organic compounds and development of nuclear detectors

and electronics. For this a cyclotron of 7.8 meV is available. A 2.6 MeV

Tandem van de Graaff generator will be ready for use in the near future.

Other facilities, such as the heavy ions laboratory in Lanchan, are obviously

more difficult to gain access to. The institutes make, compared to ours, a

truly Spartan impression. The instruments are mostly of Chinese construction /j7.

Some equipment is imported from Western Europe and from the German Democratic

Republic. The exact knowledge of Western technical literature is often

impressive. One feels among the scientists a definite optimism and a great

readiness to cooperate, which are due to the new political developments.

The Western visiting scientist is welcomed with kindness and extremely well

taken care of.

Look into the Future

The closer collaboration in the area of science with the German Federal Republc

Republic, which enjoys a very good reputation in China, has been determined in

its newest phase by the visits of parties from the Max Planck Society under

the leadership of Prof. R. Luest in April 1974 and from the Federal Ministry

for Research and Technology under the leadership of Minister H. Matthoefer

in March 1976. These visits have led to frequent exchanges of groups and

individual scientists, the consequences of which cannot yet be appreciated.

Germany will be mostly the giving party in these exchanges for a long time

to come. However, one should not underestimate the long-range potential of

a good working relationship with the most populous country on earth, which

dominates the Far East culturally and politically and whose human and material

resources are only utilized to a small extent. The conditions for a good

collaboration of this kind seem to be more favorable than ever in our technical

area at the present time.

The author thanks his German colleagues who have lent him their notes. He

would like to express particular thanks to the Chinese hosts, to the Chinese

Embassy in Bonn and last but not least to the lady interpreter Lieh Sheng-fei.
