试析1951—1954年整党运动发动的原因

The Reasons of the Party Rectification Movement from 1951 to 1954

中共中央之决定发动1951-1954年整党运动,主要原因有:改善建党结构与提高建党质量;改良与推广老区结合土改进行整党的经验;建立适应新区工作的坚强党组织;通过组织清理以确保本党执政安全。如上原因说明,此次整党运动的发动有着重要的政治和现实意义。

It was decided in the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in Febru- ary 1951 that three years were to be spent rectifying the grass - root Party organizations. This decision was made due to the following four reasons. First, Party organizations were developed too fast around the establishment of the new China and this offended the spirit of being prudent;hence the Party rectification movement should be carried out in an all -around way to place more strict qualifications for admitting new Party members. Second, the successful experiences of the old revolutionary base areas in combining agrarian revolution with Party rectifi- cation should be expanded to other areas, and the work of Party rectification also should be further implemented in the old revolutionary base areas. Third, the grass - root Party organizations in the newly liberated areas were in complicated conditions, and need to be thoroughly rectified to consolidate the new regime. Fourth, all kinds of ＂problem members＂ hidden in the Party need be inspected and cleaned out, so as to keep the purity of the Party.
