西南軍政委員會發布了大力擴充棉花生產的重要指示,要求在一九五一年西南區最少植棉三百二十五萬三千畝,保證生產皮棉五十九萬擔,這一重大任務,已成爲西南農業生產的重要環節。在去年西南第一次農林生產會上確定了西南農林生產的难點是工業原料與木材等生產,為什麽現在又特別強調棉花生産任務呢?這是因為西南地區農村中正在普遍的開展減租沮押,農民得到果實以後?除投资於農業生產外, 向衣杉襤褸的農民,很多已開始添置新衣。在土地改革以後,封建束縛解除,農民生產情緒大大提高,加以人民政府的領導與扶助,農業生產將迅速恢復與發展,農民收入隨之而增加,布疋花絮也日渐大量需要,同時過去西南紡織的土布還有一部分推銷至西北、中南地區,換囘農民所需要的物品;因此西南原有紡織工業及手工業,均须積極地恢複與發展,其棉花原料的充分供應,就是必須解决的一個重大問題。解放前, The Southwest Military and Political Committee promulgated an important directive on vigorously expanding cotton production and demanded that a minimum of 3,253,000 mu of cotton be planted in the southwestern area in 1951 and a guarantee of a guarantee of a total of 590,000 burrs of lint be produced. Become an important part of Southwest agricultural production. At the first meeting of the agro-forestry and forestry production in Southwest China last year, it was decided that difficulties in producing agro-forestry and forestry in southwest China were due to the production of industrial raw materials and timber. Why is the task of cotton production now especially emphasized? This is because the rent reduction in rural areas in southwestern China is widespread After the peasants got their fruits, apart from investing in agricultural production, a lot of new clothes were added to the fanciful farmers. After the land reform, the feudal ties were lifted and the peasant production sentiment greatly improved. With the leadership and assistance of the people’s government, the agricultural production will rapidly recover and develop. As a result, peasants’ income will increase with the increase in demand. In the meantime, Some of the native cloths are also sold to the northwest and south-central regions in return for items needed by peasants. Therefore, the original textile and handicraft industries in the southwest must be actively restored and developed. The full supply of cotton raw materials is an important issue to be solved problem.
