(一)华北全境约有一千五百万人口的新区(内含一部份恢复区)需要实行土地改革。由于老解放区已经消灭了封建势力,农民已经得到土地,这就深刻地影响了并继续影响着新解放区各阶层的人民。因此,把减租减息政策作为过渡到平分土地政策的办法,在这些地区已无必要。为了迅速恢复与发展农业生产,决定除绥远全省因情况特殊暂不实行平分土地外,其他各省新区及恢复区一律于今冬明春全部完成平分土地的任务。(二)在执行平分土地时,必须坚决贯澈以下政策:甲、没收地主阶级的土地及其封建财产,征收旧式富农多余的土地及其财产的封建部分,分配给无地少地的农民。但须留给旧式富农与地主和农民同样的一份土地和财产,不许再用扫地出门的办法。废除一切封建半封建的高利贷,但人民政府与人民银行的贷款、人民相互间买卖交易、来往货账、友谊借贷以及工人店员之工资账等,均不得废除,一律继续有效。对于为群众所公 (A) The new area (covering part of the recovery area) of about 15 million people in North China needs land reform.

Therefore, it is not necessary in these areas to regard the policy of rent reduction and interest reduction as a means of transitioning to the policy of sharing land. In order to promptly resume and develop agricultural production, it was decided that except for Suiyuan’s special case of temporary sub-division of land, the new districts and recovery areas of other provinces will all have the task of equalizing the land this winter and next spring. (2) When implementing the subdivision of land, the following policies must be resolutely and consistently pursued: A. confiscating the land of the landlord class and its feudal property, expropriating the feudal parts of the surplus land and its property from the old-style rich peasants and allocating them to landless farmers. However, it is necessary to leave the old land rich peasants the same land and property as the landlords and peasants. Abolition of all feudal and semi-feudal loan sharks, but the people’s government and the People’s Bank of loans, mutual trading transactions, trade accounts, friendship lending, as well as the wages of workers clerks, shall not be repealed, will continue to be valid.
