(Based on a Hsinhua report) ‘ m4 42.9101 Daily of Jan,27Tth. carried sn important editorial under the title: ™ Let us unite on the basis of the Moscow declaration and the Moscow statement."
A serious danger has emerged in the International Communist movement as an attenpt is being made +t? reverse the verdict on the Tito clique with a view to mating a breacn in the Moscow deciaration and the Moscow statement on the Yugoslav issue and shea to tearing then up completely, the editorial said, -..o. Tho oditoria’?,besins oy eccmmenting on the events which took place this month at the sixth congress of the Socialist Unity Party of Germany, The recent adverse current which disrupts unity of the International Commnist Movement reached a new climax at this congress, it points out.™Ihe outstanding features of the congress wore that while mich was said about stopping attacks and strengthening unity among the fraternal parties, extremely crude attacks were continued against the Chinese Communist Party and other fraternal parties, attacks which further widen differences and damage unity, and that, whilo much was said about supporting the Moscow declaration and the Moscow statement, brazen attempts, which were in open violation of the Moscow declaration, were made to reverse the verdict passed on the Tito clique of renegades to Marxian~Leninian."
At the congress, the editorial continues, a strange and almost incredible phenomenon occurred in the International Communist Movement. When in the course of his speech the head of the Chinese Communist Party delegation, which attended the congress by invitation, criticised Yugoslav revisionism in accordance with the Moscow statement, the executive chairman of the congress went so far as to stop him repeatedly and there was even an uproar of booing, whistling and foot— stamping in the congress hall. "This outrageous practice was all the more serious because it was carefully planned," the editorial says."This congress of the SED has posed the following vitally important questions to the Communists of the wnole world: are the ranks of the International Communist Movement to be united or not? Is there to be germine unity or sham unity? 01 what basis is there to be unity — is there to be unity on the basis of the Moscow declaration and the Moscow statement, or ‘unity! on the basis of the Yugoslav rovisionist programme er some other basis? In other words, are differences to be ironed out and unity strengthened, or are differences to be widened and a split crested?"
It then went on to quote Khrushchoy's criticism of Tito at the seventh congress of the Bulgarian Communist Party and at the last congress of the SED,
The editorial then asks " why some comrades , who formerly took the correct stand of criticizing Yugoslav revisioniam, should have now made an about—turn 3 of 190 degrees?" It has been claimed that this was becauze "the Yugoslav loaders 1 have removed vary much of what was considered erroneous", In fact tha Tito clique themselves have never admitted having made any mistakes, lat alone removed them, it says, The editorial continues with a reminder that in December 1962, when Tito returned to Yugoslavia from the Soviet Union, he declared, "discussions « « « S&bout how Yugoslavia will now change her policy are simply superfluous and ridiclucus." Some peoplo aave lately been talking a lot about how their views on many problems are coming closer to or agree with those of the Tito clique, the editorial asks: "Since there has not been any changa in the revisionist line and policies of the Tito clique, does it not follow that the makers of these statements are themselves moving closer to the revisionist lines and policies of the Tito clique", It goes on to aks : "What is the object of ~ describing the Moscow statement, which was unanimously eagreed upon by eighty-one fraternal parties, as a 'stereotyped formula' for 'the jungle laws of capitaliam'? If it is ‘Jungle morality',the editorial declares, to condemn Yugoslav revisionism in accordance with the Moscow statement, what kind of | morality is the violation of the Moscow declaration and the Moscow statement 7
