1939年4月29日
毛泽东在延安党的活动分子会议上作关于国民精神总动员问题的报告。
报告指出：我们的口号是长期抗战。中国需要全国总动员，政治的、经济的、军事的、文化的等等，这样才能支持长期抗战。共产党是历来号召全国总动员的。国民精神总动员的纲领与办法，有它的积极意义——动员全国一切力量，对抗日本帝国主义，争取民族解放；同时也有消极意义的方面——可能被坏蛋利用为压制革命势力。我们的任务，是发扬它的积极方面，防止和阻止它的消极方面，使它向正确的方向发展。谁是真正信仰三民主义的，要看他实行不实行三民主义，马克思主义者衡量一切东西的尺子，就是实践。
On April 29, 1939, Mao Zedong delivered a report on citizen mobilization at the CPC's activist conference held in Yan'an. The report points out that our slogan is long-term resistance. To achieve this goal, China needs a nationwide mobilization in such aspects as politics, economy, military force, culture, and so on. The Communist Party of China has always called for nationwide mobilization.
The platform and methods of mobilizing the national spirit have both positive and negative significance. For one thing, this mobilization helps to mobilize all forces in the country to resist Japanese imperialism and strive for national liberation. For another, it may be used by villains to suppress revolutionary forces.
While promoting its positive aspects, we need to prevent its negative side from affecting the people. The standard of deciding if someone truly believes in the Three People’s Principles is whether they implement them or not. A Marxist's ruler for measuring everything is practice.
