the Peoplets Republic of China held in Peking, China, during
September and October, 1959.
Nozaka advised the Communist Party, USA, funct%onar~f

Party, USA, and the Communistarty of Japan. This program
would call for a campaign against United States military base

against the Soviet Union.
Nozaka stated that the Communist Party of Japan has
developed a powerful movement in-the form of a united front
with the Socialist Party of Japan directed against the renew~f

Party of Japan do not agree publicly with the Communist Party of
Japants fight against the renewal of the security treaty, they
secretly met with the leadership of the Communist Party of Japac~.
In addition, the Communist Party of Japan is supported in thXs
campaign by a national alliance. This national alliance ons:ists
of over 300 local alliances or committees composed of Socialist
Party members and others.
Nozaka requested that the Communist Party, USA,
attack the proposed security treaty between Japan and the
United States and pointed out that this matter is of
particular significance in view of the scheduled visit
of Japanese Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi to the United States
in December, 1959.
