"THE FIGHT FOR PEACE"

COMINFORM EXPECTED TO SHOW ITS HAND

London, Apr. 24. Informed political observers forecast today that the Cominform will greatly extend its activities during the next two weeks under the slogan of "Fight for Peace."

The first symptom in this direction, the observers said, was the joint statement published today by five Western European Communist Parties condemning the Western Union Treaty of Brussels. The four Communist Parties involved -those of Britain, Belgium, Holland and Luxembourg-so for have not participated in any Cominform activities officially.

The joint declaration might foreshadow the re-establish- ment of a new form of West- ern European secretariat of the Comintern similar to the former Western European sec- retariat which used 10 statements and launch actions on a regional scale, and which, did not directly concern Com- Intern sections in other parts of the world.

Toasts Drunk In

Tokyo, Apr. 24.

Tokyo gangsters bind their agreements with toasts in blood and cut off their fingers when they dis- please their leaders,

"These are regular and current practices, not tales out of pages of history," explained Goro Kashi- kawa today. Kashikawa has had 50 years in the Criminal Investigation Section of the Tokyo Police Board.

"For example, these toasts in blood are part of a cere- the mony in connection with admission of a new member to

wine but contains the blood of those participating in the ceremony.

"The quantity of blood drunk is determined by the status of the drinker, seniors drinking half a cup. Juniors a quarter and so on down the line," he wald.
