中共和平解决西安事变方针的制定

The Formulation by the CPC of Its Policy for Peaceful Settlement of the Xi'an Incident

中共制定和执行的和平解决西安事变的方针,是这次事变获得和平解决的一个重要原因。这个方针的制定,经历了一个短暂的探索和完善的过程。事变突起,中共曾一度主张“审蒋”、“除蒋”,使党早前制定的“逼蒋抗日”方针出现了反复和动摇。经过对客观形势的深入了解和分析,中共认识到只有和平解决这次事变,才能有利于结束全国内战,实现全民抗战。于是,中共提出了有条件释蒋的主张。共产国际12月16日的电报指示,无疑对中共确定和平解决西安事变的方针起了积极作用。

It was only after a brief period of exploration and improvement that the Communist Party of China worked out the policy for peaceful settlement of the Xi＇an Incident. At the sudden ou^reak of the incident, the CPC advocated, for a while, the ＂trial of Chiang Kai - shek＂ and ＂removal of him＂, thus casting doubt on and shaking the Party＇s earlier policy of ＂compelling Chiang Kai - shek to resist the Japanese aggression＂. Then the CPC shifted its stand and put forward the proposition for the conditional release of Chiang Kai - shek in order to settle this incident peacefully. The telegram from the Communist International dated 16 December played, no doubt, a positive role for the CPC to adopt the policy to peacefully settle the Xi＇an Incident.
