SPEECH AT THE MEETING<br />

CELEBRATING THE COMPLETION OF<br />

THE BUILDING OF THE<br />

ANTI-JAPANESE MILITARY AND<br />

POLITICAL UNIVERSITY<br />

FROM MARX<br />

!(#&<br />

TO MAO<br />

⋆<br />

What I want <strong>to</strong> say <strong>to</strong> you, Comrades, <strong>is</strong> that, in short, <strong>the</strong> success<br />

<strong>of</strong> th<strong>is</strong> great enterpr<strong>is</strong>e <strong>is</strong> due <strong>to</strong> [our] overcoming difficulties<br />

and uniting with <strong>the</strong> masses. The experience <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> struggle in <strong>the</strong><br />

past ten years, <strong>the</strong> cave [-buildings] you have dug, and <strong>the</strong> future<br />

course <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Res<strong>is</strong>tance War have proved or will prove that if we<br />

continue <strong>to</strong> overcome difficulties and unite with <strong>the</strong> masses we shall<br />

be ever vic<strong>to</strong>rious! NOT FOR<br />

To overcome natural difficulties by defeating <strong>the</strong> foes and <strong>to</strong><br />

overcome military difficulties by defeating <strong>the</strong> Japanese bandits have<br />

something in common but quite a lot <strong>of</strong> differences. The latter <strong>is</strong><br />

COMMERCIAL<br />

harder and more arduous. Therefore in addition <strong>to</strong> orienting oneself<br />

<strong>to</strong>wards overcoming difficulties and uniting with <strong>the</strong> masses,<br />

<strong>the</strong> Res<strong>is</strong>tance War requires skills in strategy and tactics, in mobilizing,<br />

organizing, DISTRIBUTION<br />

and leading <strong>the</strong> masses, and in winning allies.<br />

You have now <strong>the</strong> spirit <strong>to</strong> overcome difficulties and unite with<br />

<strong>the</strong> masses. If you can use your talents <strong>to</strong> develop from th<strong>is</strong> bas<strong>is</strong>,<br />

it <strong>is</strong> entirely possible <strong>to</strong> defeat Japan and drive <strong>the</strong> Japanese out <strong>of</strong><br />

China.<br />
