Chairman Mao Tsetung has personally led the great Communist Party of China for the last forty years. He has taught us that victory is not assured only by adopting a correct policy; wrong tactics in implementing the correct policy will lead to results contrary to our expectations. Therefore, we need not only a correct policy but also a correct method of work. After a correct policy is worked out the main stress should be laid, on adopting a correct method of work.
Under the leadership of Chairman Mao the Communist Party of China has adopted after many experiments a method of work which guarantees victory. This method of work went through a severe test during the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution. The 700 million Chinese people have realized the effectiveness of that method of work. After the historic Ninth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Chinese people basing themselves on this method of work, are now engaged in the struggle to achieve still broader unity and win still greater victories, and are winning one new victory after another in this struggle. The great Communist Party of China has formulated this method of work and published it [see Liberation, No. 3, January, 1970].
We also must not only adopt this method of work but also try our utmost to follow it in practice in order to make progress in our struggle and win victory. This is because we have built a new party and worked out a new policy and launched our struggle with this party and this policy, and because it is indisputable that the Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution of China which has international significance, is influencing the Indian revolution also. The members, cadres and sympathisers of our Party should conscientiously study this method of work and follow it in practice.
