This, of course, was not Mr Powell's intention. He was not merely soliciting votes.

His political intuition, which is probably the sharpest in the Tory Party, has already convinced him that the Tory Party, under Heath, is a goner. Mr Powell's main obsession is to save the Tory Party from the coming economic crisis. Powell- They would rather stuff the cnallc nut • sink. spare ver essence of Tory crisis POWELL'S election campaign rose to its inflammatory climax with his two weekend speeches in Birmingham.

Audiences of over 1,000 at both Yardley and Northfield produced one standing ovation after another as the Tory gentleman and scholar returned to the attack on the theme of 'the enemy within'.

IN YARDLEY, he again conjured up his fantasy of 'backdoor nationalization' of priCammell in Lairds, RoilsRoya vate such and British-Leyland by the Industrial Re-organization Corporation - 'instrument of socialism.

If the Labour government is returned to power, he said, then within three or four years 'the decisive part of industry and commerce of this country will have passed under the control of the state • the tiny knot of men sitting at the centre of power fallible, power-greedy group of individuals'.

Summing up the Tory philosophy, he said:

it's worth doing, it's profitable Cammell Laird was as inefficient as that, then let it go broke.

'Slow though it will be, it is essential that we reintroduce private ownership and private control in those industries.' This was the fate held out for the railways and telecommunications industries as well- denationalization, price rises and closures.

Another standing ovation and he passed out into the corridor where he gently chastised over-enthusiastic young Tory steward who displayed a sticker proclaiming Enoch for Prime Minister' Then on to NORTHFIELD where Powell shared the platintention of abandoning it. hole in its hulk with the body of their leader than see it What is more ominous is that they have also decided, at least a considerable section —to take down the tattered ensign of post-war Toryism and hoist the pirate pennant of Powellism, and Paisleyism in its stead.

Changes

Let no one delude himself about the changes taking place in the Tory Party.

The mask of bourgeois paroff and in its place we can liamentarism is being peeled begin to see the grim uneras, police repeston and smiling political and religious obscurantism.

Powell and Paisley-these two figures represent the real operational policy of the ruling class. If anyone thinks that we are exaggerating the real effect of these changes, let him read the restrained but pertinent observation of a well-known reformist Harold • Wilson.

Talking about the prospects of a small majority for the Tories and Mr Powell's calculated attempt to support Paisley by discrediting the Civil Rights movement, Mr Wilson had this to say:

"There have been many who have said that with such a majority Mr Heath would be a prisoner of the Powelthe Paisleyites? * prisoner of lites. So he would. But no less would he be He would have been impeccable too if he had explained that it is his (Wilson's) policy of enforcing immigration control and occupying Ulster militarily that has contributed so heavily to reenforcing both Powell and Paisley.

As in Germany in the waves &' headline on Powell at the worried-looking Party leader. Heath's problems -by Brown 'THE TORIES know they cannot win this election, said George Brown speaking in Heath's constituency on Saturday. 'They are arguing now who will lead the Tory Party at the next election.?

1920s, so too today the reformist carrot gives way to the Bonapartist baton.

This is not to imply that Tory dictatorship is around the corner regardless of what happens on June 18.

What we are doing is to warn against any complacency in the struggle against Toryism and any readiness blindly trust the Labour leaders to defeat Powell and Paisley.

We are also warning against any tendency underestimate the nature and extent of the Powellite threat which, at present, seems small and without much credibility.

Mr Powell is not a fascist. Nor is he another Hitler.

Sinister ring What he said, however, at Turve Green School in Birmingham, despite his misand precisely because danger placed references to the Nazis, references within' and his attacks on the ghettoes and campuses, has an identically sinister ring to the infamous statement of the exGerman Fuehrer in Hamburg in 1932:

"The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might. And the republic is in danger. Yes danger from within and without. We need law and order! Yes, without law and order our nation cannot survive .. We shall restore law and order' The face is different, but the language is familiar.

Unlike Germany, however, the British working class, we are confident, will learn the lessons 1932-1933 and, under the leadership of Trotskyism, Heath put Powell, Paisley, and their Labourite and Stalinist servitors where they belong: in the dustbin of history.
