《译心向党》第九期——《在西南局城市工作会议上的报告提纲》

“我们的同志必须用极大的努力去学习生产的技术和管理生产的方法，必须去学习同生产有密切联系的商业工作、银行工作和其他工作。”

“Our comrades must do their utmost to learn the techniques of production and the methods of managing production as well as other closely related work such as commerce and banking.”

这个指示规定了城市工作同志的任务是一步一步地学会管理城市和建设城市，恢复和发展城市中的生产事业，用全力去学习生产的技术和管理生产的方法，学习和生产有密切联系的商业工作、银行工作和其他工作。而我们城市工作今天最薄弱的环节，则正是最中心的生产管理问题。我们必须在这方面加以努力。因为不搞好生产事业，特别是不搞好工厂管理，就不可能把消费城市变成生产城市，把农业国变为工业国，由新民主主义发展到社会主义。

According to this directive, the tasks for comrades doing urban work are to learn, step by step, how to administer and build cities, restore and develop production undertakings in cities, do their utmost to learn the techniques of production and the methods of managing production as well as other closely related work as commerce and banking. At present, the weakest but most crucial link in the chain of our urban work is precisely the management of production. We must work hard in this regard. If we do not do well in production, particularly factory management, it will be impossible to turn consumer-cities into producer-cities, the agricultural country into an industrial country and New Democracy into socialism.

城市工作大体归纳为下列五个方面：

The urban work breaks down roughly into five aspects:

第一，组织和教育工人阶级，恢复和发展生产，学会对于工厂、矿山、交通、市政等近代工业的管理。

1. To organize and educate the working class, restore and develop production and learn how to manage modern industries such as factories, mines, transportation and municipal engineering.

第二，组织、教育青年学生和团结文化教育界，管好学校教育工作，动员知识分子参加反对帝国主义的斗争。城市是文化教育的集中点，小资产阶级知识分子是城市革命斗争的重要力量。

2. To organize and educate young students, unite with people from cultural and educational circles, do a good job in school education and mobilize intellectuals to participate in the fight against imperialists. The cities are the centres of culture and education, and petty bourgeois intellectuals are an important force in urban revolutionary struggles.

第三，在经济战线上，从贸易、金融、财政等方面，加强市场管理，完成税收任务，稳定金融物价和疏畅城乡交流。

3. To do a good job in trade, banking and finance on the ecoelinomic front. We should strengthen market management, accomplish taxation tasks, stabilize currency and commodity prices and facilitate the flow of goods between the urban and rural areas.

第四，加强公安工作，加强对帝国主义的斗争，巩固革命秩序。同时要加强清除帝国主义的思想斗争，及配合农村的反封建斗争。

4. To strengthen public security, intensify the struggle against imperialists and consolidate revolutionary order. Meanwhile, we should strengthen the ideological struggle to eliminate the influence exerted by the imperialists and support the anti-feudal struggle in the rural areas.

第五，加强各方面的统一战线工作，城市中统一战线的主要对象是资产阶级，在这一方面要做更多的工作。用代表会议的方法去组织、团结和教育市民，参加城市的管理和建设工作。

5. To strengthen the united front work among people from all circles. We should do more work among the bourgeoisie, the main object of our united front in the cities. We should organize, unite with and educate the city dwellers through representative conferences, enabling them to participate in urban management and construction.
