During the Chinese War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression,the Communist bases often faced conflicts between the local cadres and cadres from outside,but in general the conflicts did not lead to problems so serious as those in the Soviet period.The Taihang Base was one example.Due to the outside character of the party organization and the larger united front environment,cadres at the Taihang base were from various tracks.In Shanxi province,the existence of the Sacrifice League and the unusual configuration of the United Front produced dispersed but widespread"local/outsider"contradictions among the cadre ranks.In response to this,local party organizations carried out political integration through a variety of means and these contradictions were gradually brought under control.However,because of the aggressive efforts of the Central Shanxi Special Committee to integrate the Sacrifice League organization into the Party,a severe conflict emerged between the Central Shanxi Special Committee,which represented outside forces,and the Sacrifice League,which represented local forces.Through the intervention of the Eighth Route Army and the Northern Bureau,the Hebei-HenanShanxi Provincial Committee resolved the problem in a way of high-profile criticizing and low-profile handling,thus advancing the progress toward integration.
