LETTER FROM COLOMBIAN MARXIST-LENINIST LEAGUE

The National Directorate of the Marxist-Leninist League of 
Colombia on October 29 sent a letter to Comrade Huo Kuo-feng,
Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of
China, expressing warm greetings to Comrade Hua Kuo-feng,
the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the
whole Party and the Chinese people on Comrade Hua Kuo-feng's
assumption of the posts of Chairman of the Central Committee
of the Communist Party of China and Chairman of the Military
Commission of the C.P.C Central Committee, and on their
victory of smashing the anti-Party plot of the clique of Wang
Hung-wen, Chang Chun-chiao, Chiang Ching and Yao Wen-yuan
who attempted to usurp the leadership of the Party and seize
state power and to establish a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie.

The letter says: The proletariat and people of China, in their
furtherance of the revolutionary cause of the proletariat initiated
by Chairman Mao Tsetung, will smash all enemies of the proletariat. 
The victory over the anti-Party clique of Four and the progress 
made in the criticism of Teng Hsiao-ping and the repulsion of the 
Right deviationist attempt at reversing correct verdict have 
consolidated and enhanced the great achievements of the Great 
Proletarian Cultural Revolution. These victories of yours over 
the bourgeoisie in the Party are victories for the entire
world proletariat. 

We also rejoice immensely at the decisions made on October 8
by the (Chinese) leading central organs on the establishment of 
a memorial hall for the great leader and teacher Chairman Mao
Tsetung and on the publication of the *Selected Works of Mao
Tsetung* and the preparation for the publication of the *Collected
Works of Mao Tsetung*. These decisions constitute a great
contribution to the dissemination all over the world of the 
invincible Mao Tsetung Thought, Marxism-Leninism of our era.

LETTER FROM CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF 
COMMUNIST PARTY OF PHILIPPINES

The Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Philippines
sent a letter on October 31 to the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of China. The letter reads: 

On behalf of the Communist Party of the Philippines, the New
People's Army and the Revolutionary Flipino people, we warmly
hail the decisions of the Central Committee of the Communist
Party of China headed by Comrade Hua Kuo-feng on the
establishment of a memorial hall for the great leder and teacher
Mao Tsetung and on the publication of volume five and other
volumes of the *Selected Works of Mao Tsetung* and the
preparations for the publication of the *Collected Works of Mao
Tsetung*.

We extend sincere congratulations on Comrade Hua Kuo-feng's
assuming the posts of Chairman of the Central Committee of the
Communist Party of China and Chairman of the Military 
Commission of the C.P.C. Central Committee. Chairman Mao
personally proposed Comrade Hua Kuo-feng for the posts of
First Vice-Chairman of the C.P.C. Central Committee and Premier
of the State Council and expressed exceeding trust in him. Thus,
we are confident that the Central Committee headed by Comrade
Hua Kuo-feng will continue to lead the Communist Party of China
and the Chinese people along Chairman Mao's proletarian
revolutionary line.

We are very glad that the C.P.C. Central Committee headed by
Comrade Hua Kuo-feng, acting on the teachings and instructions 
of Chairman Mao, has smashed the counter-revolutionary plot of 
a handful of bourgeois careerists and conspirators to usurp the 
leadership of the Party and the state. These careerists and 
conspirators flaunted themselves as the standard-bearers of 
Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought while practicing 
revisionism and splittism, which makes them all the more 
condemnable. After the restoration of capitalism in the Soviet 
Union, your victory is all the more significant to the proletarian 
revolutionary cause.

The fraternal relations between our two Parties are based on
Marxism-Leninism and proletarian internationalism. We
encourage and support each other in our common revolutionary
cause.

Long live the great, glorious and correct Communist Party of China!

Long live invincible Marxism-Leninism-Mao Tsetung Thought!

charted by Comrade Mao Tsetung.
