OUR COUNTRY HAS CONDUCTED ANOTHER UNDERGROUND NUCLEAR TEST

(News Item of this Journal)

On 17 October 1976, our country conducted. another successful

underground nuclear test. The success of the test is a new

victory of our mass of workers, commanders and fighters of thePeople ’s Liberation Army , scientists and engineers , and revolu-tionary cadres who engaged in the research and testing of the

nuclear weapon with the enormous encouragement of two important

decisions . One was by Central Committee of the Chinese CommunistParty, State Council, and Central Military Affairs Commissionconcerning the construction of a Memorial Hall to the great leaderand teacher Chairman Mao Tse Tung. In addition , the CentralCommittee of the Chinese Communist Party adopted a decision con-

cerning the publishing of “Mao Tse Tung ’s Selected Works” and thepreparation of “The Complete works of Mao Tse Tung” for publication .

The people are most closely united around the Party Central Com-

mittee headed by Chairman Hua Kuo Feng to carry out the bequeathed

wishes of Chairman Mao and to seriously study the essays of Marxand Lenin and the works of Chairman Mao using the class struggle

as the guiding principle . They are insisting upon the basic lines

of the Party, insisting upon the three basic principles: “To

implement Marxism, not revisionism; unite, not disunite; to belustrous and upright, but do not participate in any intrigues andplots”, and are proceeding with the persistent struggle aginst theantiparty group of Wang, Chang, Chiang and Yao . The struggle to

grasp revolution, promote work, and promote the preparation for

war continues.

Our country proceeded with necessary and limited nucleartests to develop the nuclear weapons . This Is purely for defense

and to break the nuclear monopoly of the superbig countries andabolish the nuclear weapons once and for all. Our government has

announced repeatedly that China will not be the first one to use

nuclear weapon at any time or under any situation . The Chinese

government and Chinese people as usual will struggle together with

peoples of every country and with countries of the world for the

lofty objective to completely stop production and destroy allnuclear weapons .

OUR COUNTRY CONDUCTED A NEW NUCLEAR TEST

(News Item of This Journal)

While the entire party, all military personnel, people in

every part of the country are mouning the great leader and teacher,Chairman Mao Tse Tung, with endless memories and full—hearted

loving affection are firmly responding to the call of CentralCommittee of the Chinese Communist Party, are changing sorrow tostrength , and are carrying out the bequeathed wishes of Chairman

Mao to seize the greater victory of the socialist revolution andsocialist construction, our country conducted a nuclear testsuccessfully on 26 September 1976. The mass of workers, commandersand fighters of the People ’s Liberation Army , scientists andengineers, and revolutionary cadres who engaged in the research andtesting of the nuclear weapon are under the leadership of the

Central Committee and are using the class struggle as the guidingprinciple to coordinate with each other and , with great effort, tograsp the revolution , promote production, promote work , and promotethe preparation for war with even greater effort to achieve thissuccessful test.
