SOCIALIST CULTURAL AND ETHICAL PROGRESS 571

bad work practices are allowed to grow unchecked, they will greatly jeopar-
dize the cause of the Party and people. We must continue to promote the
work style of integrating theory with practice, maintaining close relations
with the masses, engaging in criticism and self-criticism, being diligent and
frugal, and sincerely serving the interests of the people. Cadres at all levels
need to be honest, speak the truth and do solid work.
In order to ensure implementation of this resolution, principal Party
and government leaders at all levels need to personally take charge under
the unified leadership of the Party committee at their level, and Party and
government bodies must work together with trade unions, the Commu-
nist Youth League, women’s federations and other mass organizations. To
achieve our common objective, everyone should do their part and willingly
take on responsibility; shunting responsibility onto others and wrangling
over trifles will not be allowed. In the course of promoting cultural and
ethical progress, we need to fully recognize the role of the democratic par-
ties. Relevant departments of the central leadership as well as all local au-
thorities need to promptly study all the tasks set forth in this resolution and
formulate specific methods and measures for carrying them out. Cultural
and ethical progress is not possible without funds and material input, and
as the economy develops, funding should increase accordingly. The State
Council has already issued a document on this matter, and all regions and
departments must conscientiously implement it. In the course of imple-
menting this resolution, departments at each level must oversee the ones
below them. Higher-level departments need to strengthen supervision over
and inspection of lower ones, promptly study and resolve any problems
that may arise, and constantly acquire new experience.
