International assistance for the strikers is now even more vital than ever.

After 21 weeks on £5 strike cement workers' strike is in danger if the organized scabbing cannot be driven back.

It is essential not only that British workers; solidarity with the strike against the cement scab shipments, but that the scabbing activities of the Polish Stalinists be thoroughly exposed and defeated.

But this new attempt to plug the gaps left by Nixon only weakens their own defences in S Vietnam itself— scene of renewed struggle both in the countryside and even Saigon.

Everything points towards decisive defeats for imperialism in SE Asia over the next few months.

We thank and congratulate those comrades working on the paper, whose untiring work and unsparing devotion to Communist ideals have made the Workers Press into what it is rapidly becoming, the proud inheritor of the traditions of Lenin's 'Pravda' The appearance of the during the election testifies to the growing strength of Trotskyism and its great appeal to young workers.
