MOSCOW DEFIED
JAPANESE COMMUNIST ACTION LONDON, January 16. According to the London “Daily Herald,” the Japanese Communist Party has defied Moscow by passing an almost unanimous vote of confidence in its leader, Savzo Nozaka, who had been accused by the Cominform of being anti-Socialist and anti-patri-otic. Only one member of the central committee of the Japanese Communist Party dissented from the resolution expressing complete confidence in Nozaka. The dissentient tvas later expelled. The “Daily Herald” says that Nozaka has been for years Japan’s leading Communist and has spent 16 years in exile, eight of them in Moscow. He is accused by the Cominform of espousing the development of “Marx-ism-Leninism” on Japanese soil. This is now regarded by the Cominform as an arch heresy, the term in use by all who follow the party line being “Stalinism.”
