To make Socialist Organiser a real campaigning paper that can organise the left in the movement, it needs its own organised activist support - and money.

Local supporters' groups have been established in mos big towns to build a real base for the paper.

Supporters are asked to undertake to sell a minimum of six papers an issue and to contribute at least 21 a month (20p for unwaged). So becoming a supporter helps build our circulation and gives the paper a firmer financial base.

If you like Socialist Organiser, think it's doing a good job, but realise that it can't possibly do enough unless you help, become a card-carrying supporter. ..Fill in the form below and send it to: Socialist Organiser I want more information•/I wish to become a Socialist import controls to protect c/o 28 Middle Lane, London N8.

There is no democracy in positions held for life . such as the presidency of the NUM.

The pamphlet's position on what the next Labour government should do is also very inadequate. While it gives a 'shopping list' of measures-e.g. withdrawal from the EEC. unilateral disarmament it doesn't say anything about how this will be achieved.

Intensification

It needs to be said and said clearly that the nest Labour government must be of a type never seen before. one that challenges capitalism and doesn't just administrate it on behalf of the bosses.

A workers government is needed, one which will respond to the unions, the Labour Party and the working class, and come. under the control of the workers movement. This will be achieved through the renovation of the basic organisations of the class, through the struggle for democracy in the Labour Party and the trade unions and the extension and intensification of the direct fight against the lories.
