To Meet Shortly

Tokyo, Aug. 17.

Meeting at 930 o'clock this morning at the Showa Kaikan, leaders and directors of the Koseikai, political group in the House of Peers, decided that there is no need for the party immediately to follow the examples set by political groups in the House of Representatives in disbanding their organizations, it was revealed.

The Koseikai, it was disclosed, decided merely to give full consideration to the proposed new national party movement and also to the reorganization of the political structure of the House of Peers.

The powerful Kenkyukai, the Kayokai, the Dowakai and the Doseikai, it was disclosed, also will meet shortly to discuss the question of formulating a new political structure. Representatives of all groups in the House of Peers also are expected to get together.—Domei.
