NEW COMMUNIST PARTY
ESTABLISHED IN BERLIN OPPOSITION TO “MOSCOW * IMPERIALISM ” NZPA—Copyright Rec. 9.30 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 14. A Communist Party opposed to what is called “Moscow imperialism” was recently established in Berlin and it has now applied to the Military Governments of the three Western Powers for permission to carry on propaganda and to publish its own newspaper. Reporting this last night, the Berlin correspondent of The Times says if permission is granted it proposes to operate not only in Berlin but also in the Western zones. The chairman is Herr Karl Scholz, a former member of the German Communist Party, who later joined the Russian-sponsored Socialist Unity Party, and he claims that the new party has enrolled high officials of the Central Secretariat of the Socialist Unity Party as well as members of the Social Democratic Party. The new party, he says, will refuse to Work with Moscow and will propagate “ a purely German Communism ” in which the national will take precedence over the international aspect. It rejects and “will combat Moscow imperialism.”
