KOMINFORM - der ungebetene Gast. Diskussion im ein neues kommunistisches Weltzentrum
Cominform - the Unbidden Guest. Discussion on a New Communist World Centre

Summary/Abstract: Since the occupation of Czechoslovakia, the question of establishing a new international directive organ has been more and more broadly discussed within the communist movement. While the CPSU proceeds cautiously with this matter, the SED has made itself the spokesman of those who accept the vanguard role of the CPSU and do not reject new forms of a communist world centre. These tendencies are opposed by influential communist parties, either in power like those of Rumania or North Corea, or not in power like the communist parties of Italy, Spain, France, Japan, and Australia. The communist parties of Spain and Japan blamed the CPSU, in connection with its request for a communist summit conference, for claiming leadership and, beyond that, wishing to establish a directive organ similar to Cominform.
