抗日战争时期中国共产党对改革国统区保甲制度的主张

The CPC's Stand for Reforming the Bao-jia System In the KMT-controlled Areas During the War Against Japanese Aggression

保甲制度既是国民党在全国实行的基层组织制度,又是其反共防共的重要工具。抗战时期,中国共产党认为,本质上保甲是束缚人民手脚和压迫人民的制度,因而改革保甲制度十分必要;而保甲制度本身流弊百出,后果严重,所以,改革保甲制度又十分迫切。中国共产党对改革保甲制度的基本主张是:贯彻真正民主的原则,由人民选举自己信任的能真正为他们谋利益的基层管理人员;彻底改善和废除保甲制度,实现新民主主义的政治。

The bao-jia system （ an old administrative system organized on the basis of households, each jia being made up of 10 households, and each bao of 10 jia） was a grassroots organizational system practiced by the Kuomintang throughout the country and an important tool used by the KMT to fight and guard against the Communist Party. During the War AgainSt Japanese Aggression the CPC held that in essence the bao-jia system was a system oppress- ing the people and tying their hands so it was absolutely necessary to reform this system, and that the bao-jia system had many drawbacks and serious consequences so it was imperative to launch the reform. The basic stand of the CPC for reforming the bao-jia system was as follows： to carry out the principle of true democracy and let the people elect the grassroots administrative personnel who enjoyed the trust of the people and would work truly for the people＇s interests, to thoroughly reform and then abolish the bao-jia system and put the politics of new democracy into place.
