BURMA ANTI-FASCIST LEAGUE EXPELS REDS

Rangoon, Nov. 3-The Burma anti-Fascist League's Supreme Council last night adopted a resolution expelling the Communist Party of Burma from its membership. Com- munist members of the Council staged a walk-out before Voling.

In an exhaustive report covering the prospects in all the main food producing nations of the world, the Department said the overall output should be about 7 per cent above Inst year's low production, but "the production level in the war, and drought devastated areas is still far below the average, and food imports will continue to be urgent.".
