The dangers of racialism were also apparent, but many workers have scented Powell's already political trail: 'One thing I think is clear, he has more influence in the Tory Party than they would like to make out. Deep down I don't think that Heath is réally opposed to Powell at all since his main aim is to split the working men up, said a portworker, again from the Royal group of docks-once reported to be a centre of racialism in the capital- ist press. Folklore Others regurgitated the mod- ern racialist folklore that with the help of the press has become a feature: I'm not a racialist, but the country's overcrowded, Powell has put his finger on what a lot of people think. I know he's a Tory, but what he says just appears to be common sense to me! The question that bit deepest, however, was defence of the trade unions. That there would be strikes, go-slows, overtime bans to standards and oppose defend anti-strike laws was a common view, but what if the trade union leaders betrayed? What preparation could be made right now? A lorry-driving member of Transport General the and Workers' Union from Wapping told us: 'I don't know if the leader- ship of our union's going to fight or not. But if the Tories attack the unions there'll be an explo- sion.' under Wartime Order 1305 in 1951 t to right: Bill Johnson, 'Nudger' Harrison tax on loans and many of them got done an extra £l a week, and when they wanted to put in other amenities - like central heating — the National Coal Board's loans had gone up from £4 a month to £5 a month.
In other words the Labour leaders were taxing their own supporters. It was a capitalist govern- ment. On the Tories' threats against the unions, I think that regard- less of what laws are brought in dockers - and workers in general - will carry on. This'll obviously mean clashes. Already a lot of dockers are talking about 1951, when they tried to put Harry Constable and others 1n on conspiracy charges under 1305. What's being said is 'they've tried to break us through the courts before- and failed'. Even with local union officials and lay delegates, where they were prepared to co-operate with the Labour government, there's now a mood building up not to go along with the Tories at all.
But we're not so sure about our union leaders. Dockers were very disap- pointed when they came out on nation liza son the and found nationalization Jack Jones, our general secretary, saying he knew nothing about it.

Friday July 10. 1970 EGYPT in 1952 was a country that had been shaping up for revolu- The previous year had seen nearly 50 strikes by workers. In the second half of 1951 there were several peasant uprisings in which the demand was raised for the land to be given to those who tilled it. There was unrest in the universities and in the armed forces. The corrupt regime of King Farouk and his ministers had been profoundly discredited by its debacle in the 1948 Arab- Israeli war. A popular guerilla struggle was being waged against British occu- pation forces in the Canal zone.
On January 26, 1952, the masses of Cairo took to the and their streets, demonstra- tions against imperialism turned into a massive outburst of fury the conditions they endured, expressin burning of against itself in violence the property. At the centre of discontent among army oficers was a group known Free Officers' as the Movement, a nationalist move- ment in which were figures such Anwar el Sadat, Khaled as Mohieddin, and Gamal. Abdul Nasser. Smarting under the disaster of 1948, these nationalists were bitter and contemptuous of the regime, and they were moving towards a clash with the govern- ment. 1951, they had issued a In proclamation: *The Executive Committee of : Officers the demands that the army's function should be the achievement the country's independence, and it will not permit the army to be used for the destruction of nationalist • . the army has movements strong, liberated value only in The ubiquitous Mr J. Willard Marriott in the June 27 issue that Donald Nixon, the honourable American president's brother, was feted in Athens by Tom 'Esso' Pappas and Aristotle Onassis. Executive Vice-President of the Marriott Corporation, Nixon was in the colonels' country to sign a lucrative whereby contract Marriott is to provide catering services for Onassis' own airline, Olympia. On July 3, the Workers Press noted that the 'Honour America Day' jamboree was forging ahead with its plans to unite America for a single day, under the aegis of Bob Hope and Billy Graham.
Who was the chief organizer of this celebration? A certain ... J. Willard Marriott. Who is this ubiquitous Mr Marriott? Besides supplying the Greek fascists and organizing patriotic American blow-outs, he is direc- tor of various car, banking and insurance firms and chairman of the Washington-based Marriott Corporation, an outfit in the busi- ness of owning and operating and hotels, airline restaurants catering and hospital and institu- tional feeding with annual sales of $200 million. The corporation is a tightly- knit affair well. family as Marriott his wife and two sons occupy the top four seats.
The "Honour America Day' ceremonies, we are assured by its organizers was a strictly 'non- political' show, certainly not in- tended to whip up enthusiasm for Nixon and his war. Undoubtedly, then, it is co- incidental that the chairman of the organizing committee- Marriott-also helped to arrange Tricky Dick's inauguration cere- monies. It is also coincidental that his wife is a Republican Party national committee-woman and that Dick's brother occupies the of Executive Vice- position President in his corporation.
When this 'little band of men' honour America they honour the genocidal war in Indo-China, the fascist regime in Greece, the giant corporations with their equally giant profits, the smashing of strikes and the shooting of black people and students by the National Guard. It must be made abundantly clear that every sponsor, 'hawk' or 'dove', of this 'non-political' 'Honour America Day' is a class enemy, nothing less.

dating the Bonapartist regime, Nasser was prepared to use transport workers' strike, and on subsequent occasions too, he has leaned on the strength masses—notably of course, the popular resistance in Port Said against the imperialist aggression in 1956. in Syria, Likwise Jedid prepared to arm the 'workers' battalions' against threats to his regime. But what none of the Arab Bonapartist regimes have been able to tolerate is any striving by the working class to assert its political independence, to have its own organizations and parties.
The same pattern has been followed throughout - suppres- sion of the communists in Egypt, Iraq, Syria and the Sudan, sub- ordination of the trade unions to the state, as in Egypt and Sudan, enrolment of the masses into state-controlled one, organization such as Arab Socialist Union. All power is monopolized by the ruling military clique behalf of the nationalist middle class. In Iraq, the Communist Party has gone underground; but in Egypt, the liquidation Party was carried out with the assistance of the Stalinists them- following Khrushche's selves, visit to Cairo in 1964. Nasser released CP members from jail, but warned that any- one attempting to organize would be arrested Even if we have to do it as in India'. (Where mass arrests without trial were taking place.)

In fact, a 'Marxist' interpreta- tion-that is, the use of 'Marxist' phrases and phrasemongers could serve the regime; and in 1965, the leaders of the Com- munist Party decided to serve the regime by dissolving their own party and joining, as individuals, Socialist Union, declaring the that this body, led by Nasser, could achieve socialism. liquidation has been (This approved by Moscow - Khaled Mohieddin, 'part of the regime', being a regular contributor, alongside the representatives of various Communist Parties, to Review' 'World Marxist similar publications.)

The difficulty of such however is that while counter-revolutionaries need objectively understand what is happening, their own position in the class struggle precludes them from attaining a real under- standing. (Consider, for example, the ridiculous efforts of US imperial- ism, its agents, and its hired academics, to develop a political and social arm to its counter- insurgency efforts in SE Asia.)
The kind of academicism which is sustained by the finance and facilities of bodies like the CIA tends to derive its look from the same sources.
