我国正在开始进入国家建设的高潮。全体人民和干部为迎接这一高潮,表现出很大的积极性。为了把这种积极性引导到正确的轨道,必须正确地制订国家建设计划,这是今天我国政治生活中头等重要的工作。正确地制定国家建设计划的两个关键性问题,就是善于抓住决定环节,善于发掘潜在力量。正确地编制国家的建设计划,决不等于把各类数字简单地综合起来。国家的建设计划是国家在一定时期内政治和经济任务的集中表现,是全国人民行动的纲领和法律,它规定着我国工业化的速度和步骤,规定着国民经济和文化教育事业发展的途径。没有计划,或者没有正确而实际的计划,便必然使我们的建设事业陷于盲目状态,陷于被动,浪费国家的人力、财力,以至推迟国家建设的进程。国家计划必须符合于国家当前的任务和长远的利益,必须从全局出发,并且抓住全局中的决定环节。什么是我们的建设计划中的决定环节呢?我们的建设计划的任务是要使我国在抗美援朝的条件下实现国家工业化,因此,在我们面前,决定的环节就是发展重工业,特别是那些对 Our country is beginning to enter the climax of national construction.
