The policy of retorm- ism deprives the proletarian of leading the of the petty plebeian masses bourgeoisie and thereby alone converts the latter into cannon fodder for fascism.' Jacobin Perhaps we could describe IS as a group of petty-bourgeois democrats making Jacobin ges- tures. Sedgwick's blurtings point facing towards the next step these layers of society. The middle class has no independent role in society. It with the working either joins class as the revolutionary force which holds the -the class future in its hands'-or it is taken in tow by the monopolies and used to do its dirtiest work, the dirtiest work in history.

The choice is not decided by personal taste, but by the strug gle for Marxism, the revolu- tionary party through which the working class establishes its independence. Our political hostility to IS and is part of this struggle, their bitter hatred for the Social- ist Labour League is a class hatred also. 'Sincerity' When Sedgwick is struck by "sincerity' of the butchers the of the German working class; when he parallels the Leninist party, fighting to raise the con- sciousness of the working class to the level where it can con- front the historical task of estab- lishing a communist world, with he fascist movement, made up 'of all the human refuse thrown off by a rotting social order; when he compares racialism with the unity of theory Marxism, as and practice': then must we conclude that the evolution of IS has entered a new stage.

Midnight epilogue.

Thursday, June 4, 1970 reveals pre-launch defects in 'HE APOLLO-13 space crat ras launched with a damage oxygen tank. This is the conclusion o the Board of Inquiry investi gating the explosion that en- dangered of the three US astronauts last month. said launch team found that they were unable to drain liquid oxygen from the tank in the normal way after it had been filled during a rehearsal.

'We do not know precisely why they were unable to drain the tank,' a NASA spokesman said. However, the special pro- cedures they had to use 'prob- ably resulted in major damage to the wiring insulation' in- side the tank Culminated This started the chain ol events that culminated in the explosion when Lovell, Haise and Swigert were over 200,000 miles out from earth. Two switches designed to protect the tank's heaters from overheating are believed to have failed, producing tem peratures of 1,000 deg. F and circuits in the causing short heater wires. han a raping sero mone the safety valves ineffective and to produce the explosion.

Question Although the Board's final report on the abortive mission is not due until June 8 and will probably contain further details, Cortright's statement raises the question: Why weren't these defects remedied before Apollo-13 left the ground? This is especially relevant...

as the main Apollo contractor -North American Rockwell— has come under sharp critic- ism in the past for the poor quality of its products. Sloppiness What the latest statement reveals is more of what the 'Economist' recently calléd 'the familiar, avoidable sloppi- ness' which has increasingly been the hallmark of NASA's work as massive cutbacks have taken place in the space agency's budget. The economic squeeze and the fact that two out of three of NASA's workers have either already been sacked or are on their way out in the near future has creatéd a mood of demoralization which all the cheerful comments of Nixon and NASA chief Dr Paine have been unable to dispel. these conditions, Under 'accidents' are bound to hap- pen, particularly during the hasty preparations which took place immediately before the Apollo-13 launch. Events Here are a number of évents that took place: • The main rocket had been in storage for three years and spent a month longer than usual on the launch pad itself, increasing the dangers of deterioration.

• Swigert and Lovell both left behind equipment for the flight. • A fault developed in the helium tank few days before the flight, but 'cor- rected itself'. Flight ren- gineers insisted that a final check take place after the launch. • At launch, one of the five engines second - stage packed up two minutes early. • The malfunction that finally led to the explosion was detected 15 hours pré- viously at Mission Control, but at no time did a warn- ing light flash on in the space craft. The oxygen tank had been dropped in 1968 while the craft was under construc- tion. why did the haunch take ponse Under these at all ? Perhaps, Mr Cortright and his colleagues will throw some more light on these questions on June 8. Meanwhile, the Apollo-14 mission which will attempt to complete the journey to Fra Mauro has suffered a further postponement to 1971 and the future of the US space pro- gramme is looking extremely bleak.

I am under an obligation to do the best I can. The fact that I have been driven into pessi- mism and despair in some of my conclusions is not itself a reason for despair. It is what I have to fight with. 'A work of art cannot by itself rovide the answers. Revolution transferring is the means of power. A work of art may enrich consciousness and it will enrich future society.' • Lenin's theory THIS FIGHT for revolution, said Cliff Slaughter on Sunday, can only be realized on the basis of a fight for Lenin's theory and principles. Such a struggle was an inter- nationalist one. The war in Viet- a small, localized nam was not skirmish, its implications were felt right round from the US to Cambodia. The revolutionary movement could not be built separate from theory. It necessary was to understand that Lenin was above all a Marxist. What was required was a struggle to understand the move- ment and change and develop- ment of reality, to understand the laws of development and - changę in society. With the present development of the world economic Could so American capitalism longer guarantee even democ- ratic freedom. The dilemma facing capitalism today was that it must take on the working class, when, in a period of 25 years, it had been unable to defeat colonial revolu- tion. This crisis of capitalism had its reflection in the severe crisis of the Stalinist bureaucracy in the Soviet Union and E Europe.

In Britain the bringing for- ward of the General Election date was a manifestation of the magnitude of the problem facing world capital in a period where working class through its trade struggle was driving up union wages. It was extremely important for the working class in Britain to realize that in order to take capitalist class them the on wanted the Tories back with a programme of extreme reaction.

The working class had to be taken through the experience of against the voting Tories to return a Labour government and take up, a struggle, through the to break with tensions o reformism. This was the only way that a preparation for the working class to take power could be carried out. This was what was meant by building, the revolutionary party in the traditions of Leninism by going through to the heart of the working class and all its experiences and preparing it to take power and defeat Stalinism.
