也谈中共中央一九三六年十二月十三日会议--兼述西安事变期间中共与共产国际的关系

On the Meeting by the Central Committee of the CPC in December 13th in 1936——Concurrently on the Relationship between the CPC and the Communist International during the Period of the Xi'an Incident

1936年12月13日,中共中央政治局常委会召开扩大会议,讨论如何认识和应对刚刚发生的西安事变。会前,并未收到共产国际的"回电"。共产国际七大以后,它在指导、帮助中共建立和坚持抗日民族统一战线方面起了十分重要的作用。西安事变爆发后,它复电中共中央,主张采用和平方法解决冲突,帮助中共确立了和平解决西安事变的方针。共产国际一些不符合中国国情的指示,没有得到中共的认同和执行。苏联报刊攻击西安事变和张学良的言论,受到了中共的抵制。

In December 13th, 1936, the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Commit- tee held the enlarged meeting, discussing how to realize and deal with Xi＇ an Incident which just happened. Be- fore the meeting, the reply from Communist International was not received. After the seventh congress of Commu- nist International, it played an important role in guiding and helping the CPC to build and persist the anti- Japanese national united front. After Xi＇ an Incident, it replied to the CPC central committee, proposing to adopt the peaceful methods to solve the conflict, and helping the CPC to confirm the policy of peacefully dealing with Xi＇ an Incident. The instructions from Communist International which didn＇ t conform to Chinese national condi- tions were not agreed and executed by the CPC. The statements of Soviet press attacking Xi＇ an Incident and Zhang Xueliang were resisted by the CPC.
