SiS ARY During the period 10-20 January 1952 the Chinese Communist radio pro-rams 1cased to the home audience reflected a marked intensification of the drive to eliminate waste, corruption and bureaucracy, with the original aim of increasing production seldom mentioned. The Pekin; radio and virtually all regional stations broadcast daily reports of meet.in.Js called to push the drive. Some of the meetings were local, on the city or chu level, *nile some were province-wide., Most of them were called by Government units or Communist Party Co,mnittees. Mary areas moved into what was spoken of as the second stage of the drive--the coniession- and-accusation stage. People of all circles were admonished to first confess their own shortcomings; then report waste, corruption, and bureaucracy in all offices and business firms, At confessional meetings an old-fashioned revival atmosphere prevai.led, with cadres and businessm lined up waiting to confess their wastefull and corrupt; practices. At one meeting it was reported that a third of those present made confessions. All were warned to confess if they wished leniency, and numerous cases of punishment when victims refused to confess were listed. As refusal to confess seemed to be a worse affront than the actual corrupt practice, there is a suspicion that many confessed simply to get free of the subject under discussion. Many cases of graft, tax evasion and other corrupt practices were broadcast, with names and figures.
