ABSTRACT
A few profiteers made use of the fair to corner the market, play tricks, and carry out capitalist activities. Such a fair held a great attraction for some rich peasants who had not rid themselves of their private-ownership mentality. Under the leadership of the commune Party committee, the working personnel of this supply and marketing cooperative conscientiously studied the theory of the dictatorship of the proletariat and resolutely carried out Chairman Mao's revolutionary line. The Party committee of Ha-erh-t'ao Commune investigated the conditions of the rural fair and made clear the relations between the two-road struggle and trade fair in the countryside. In the process of establishing the socialist big fair, Ha-erh-t'ao Commune first organized the cadres and the masses to vigorously run political night schools, to learn the fundamental experience of Tachai, and to unfold penetrating criticism against capitalist tendencies existing in the rural trade fair.
