28. ‘Mooi chai’ ( 妹仔 ) is Cantonese dialect. In the Chinese version it is written as ‘ 奴婢 ’ (woman slave). 29. Ф. 495 оп.62 д.30./ Nan Dao Zhi Chun, pp.13, 14. / While occasionally based on English translation by Tan Kim Hong in Cheah Boon Kheng’s book mentioned earlier (p.109), the original expressions of the revised English version quoted later are preferred and revived here. 30. Ф. 495 оп.62 д.30. 31. According to C.F. Yong (p.184), at the 6th enlarged plenum, CC of 13 members including standing committee of 7, political bureau of 3 and organization department of 4 were elected. The Central Politburo should mean this bureau. Lai Teck was on both the committee and the bureau. 32. From “12 Sep.1939” above up to here, it seems, decisions at the CC Politburo are shown./ According to Mr. Hara Happo, who translated Russian language documents, there are many misspelling in this section b). 33. Ф. 495 оп.62 д.30. 34. Ф. 495 оп.62 д.28. 35. In normal conception, this view-point might be extreme leftist. But I (Hara) copied as it is. 36.

CHAPTER VII THE MCP AND THE COMINTERN FROM 1940 TO 1942 I 1940 1. The Second Plenum of the Central Committee held in January 1940 1 (1) Russian-language part (Reviewers’ report) A summary is given below. The Party membership was more than 1,000. Branches were established especially in big factories in Singapore. Party activities had become positive. Resolutions were passed regarding Party tactics in the Anti-Imperialist United Front of Malayan nationals (pertaining to the national problems [ 民族问题 ], class struggle, main forces of the revolution and allies); the Party’s policy line relating to mass organizations (trade unions, peasant organizations and youth/women organizations); and the “three month-movement” in pursuing the political unity of the Party. 2 (2) Chinese-language part A summary is provided below. Development of the Party Membership nearly doubled. The number of members of mass organizations more than doubled. In many places, the status of the Party and Party members rose among the masses. The Party’s struggle against left-leaning exclusionism and right-leaning opportunism had borne considerable fruit. In the second term, especially in Singapore, the tendency towards opportunism had been substantially overcome. The Party’s anti-war propaganda had received fairly enthusiastic responses among the masses. The scope of the Party’s influence has expanded considerably. 117
