DETACHMENTS OF DEATH.
Communists at Work in Japanese Army. LONDON, January 4. The Third International claims that a soldiers’ revolutionary committee has been formed in Japan, and also “ detachments of death,” reports the Riga correspondent of “ The Times.” Japan occupied a special position at the Third International’s recent plenary session, summoned in connection with Russian changes, the orientation of Europe, and Communist underground programme in America, it is stated. The fear is expressed that some Japanese Communist leaders were unduly precipitate in creating such organisations as those referred to, which may unnecessarily endanger others working on more orthodox lines. The International also emphasised that the era of capitalist pacifism was dead throughout the world. A new fight for power was beginning. Bourgeois countries might be converted to revolution by Third Internationalists if properly led, and even overthrow their Governments and establish Soviets, but the countries where the battlefields were planned were not indicated.
