ITEM 2 Mr. SHIGA. Welcomes His Comrades from YENH[illegible]- Yomiuri Hochi - 21 December-1945. Translator: R. Ochiai.
Full Translation:
NOSAKA, Sanni (OKANO, Susumu) and his colleagues, who in co-operation with the Chinese
Communists in YENAN, kept urging JAPAN
to stop the war, arrived at SEOUL on 18 December and very soon will return to JAPAN.
Hearing this news, Mr. KUROKI, head of
the Japanese Communist Party, delivered a welcome address as follows:
"We, the Japanese Comnunists, have been much interested in their homecoming, since
they fought against every kind of trouble,
including the Japanese imperialistic invasion of CHINA, for a long time. They struggled
and achieved a splendid victory, and
organized the Japanese people's Emancipation League, (NIPPONJIN KAIHO REMMEI). How,
I hear they have arrived at SEOUL. I hope
they will return as soon as possible."
In the name of the Central Comnittee, the Party ordered all the members to welcome
the returnees and to work with them. SHIGA,
Yoshio absolutely denied the rumor that there is some difference between the Communists
in TOKYO and those in YENAN, saying,
"since we and NUSAKA have been friends since the time of the Trade Union Party (SANRO
TO), there cannot be a difference of
opinion. If there is really such a rumor, it must have been started by themischief
maker who wants to split our party. Some
opportunistic fascists may have some connection with this rumor, but when NOSAKA returns,
we can actively carry on our
campaign to ether."
