What slogan did the August 1st Declaration put forward?

The "August 1 Declaration" put forward the slogan of "those who have money to pay, guns to shoot, grain production, and those who have special skills contribute special skills", including the landlords, the bourgeoisie and all the armed forces in the United front.

The common anti-Japanese advocated by the Declaration is no longer limited to concluding agreements, stopping conflicts and uniting with each other, but puts forward "organizing a unified national defense government throughout China", "organizing a unified anti-Japanese Coalition force throughout China" and "forming a unified anti-Japanese Coalition command".

Although the declaration still excluded Chiang Kai-shek from the United front, it called on all parties, troops and compatriots from all walks of life to stop the civil war and concentrate all their national strength on "fighting for the sacred cause of resisting Japan and saving the country", regardless of any prejudice and interest differences in the past and present, as well as any hostile actions.

The "August 1st Declaration" put forward the strategic policy of the anti-Japanese national united front in a relatively complete way, and its publication was an important event in the process of changing the strategic line of China's * * * production party.

Historical significance

The August 1st Declaration highlighted the ethnic contradictions between China and Japan, put forward the political proposition of resisting Japan and saving the nation, initially corrected the "Left" closed-doorism and expanded the scope of the anti-Japanese national United front camp. This shows that the political strategy of China's * * * production party has begun to change.

After the publication of the "August 1st Declaration", it soon spread to China, which had a wide influence. By the end of 1935, major cities such as Beiping, Shanghai, Tianjin, Nanjing and Taiyuan had spread widely and among overseas Chinese. The August 1st Declaration, together with the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China's two declarations (165438+ 10/3 and 28), aroused strong repercussions at all levels of society, effectively promoting the climax of the national anti-Japanese national salvation movement.

The publication of the "August 1st Declaration" marks the basic formation of our Party's strategic front for establishing an anti-Japanese national united front. In practice, it won the warm support of the people all over the country and people from all walks of life, which had a great political influence in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and effectively encouraged and promoted the development of the anti-Japanese national salvation movement.
