LAST WEEK'S House of Commons disclosure that the Tories are looking into the disbursement of student union funds is warning proof that the 'problem' of 'campus unrest' is subject to continuous behind-the-scenes investigation.

Since the aim of these investigations is to curb student militants President Jack Straw's announcement that the National Union of Students will give the government all the help it needs is nothing short of betrayal.

Straw's offer of collaboration came only two months after the report of the joint NUS-National Council for Civil Liberties Commission on Academic Freedom and the Law.

The 18-man Commission was set up in March 1969 more or less at the peak of campus demands for increased student representation on the governing bodies of institutions of further and higher education.

The Commission's terms of reference were to investigate the legal relationship between students on the one hand and college authorities and grant-awarding bodies on the other.

Naturally their concern was primarily focused on the legal and other implications of direct action and on the growing use of legal processes by college authorities.

There certainly were good grounds for conducting such an 1969 examination. Throughout 1968 and newspapers were full of strikes, boycotts and demonstrations many stories of student sit-ins, of which were without doubt inspired by the example of events in France in May-June 1968. As the report noted, the most significant development during this two-year period was the increasing resort by colleges and universities to invoke legal proceedings against students, particularly the law of trespass. By the summer of 1970 another development emphasized not the report, but of even greater was the general importance, hardening of the authorities' atti- tudes towards students. The tough line. new con- " 1970 clusively emerged in July when Mr Justice Melford Steven- son sentenced eight students for their part in the demonstration Cambridge against the Greek in colonels' regime. Six were sentenced to terms of imprisonment ranging from nine to 18 months and two of these recommended deportation.

AMS

Two others were sent to Borstal.

The relationship between the Tory election victory on June 18 and the severity of the sentences cannot be doubted. in July noted regarding As has been the government's efforts to deal with the power workers, what prevented line tough being taken before was simply that the climate of public opinion was generally hostile. There of evidence was plenty to suggest that college and uni- would authorities have versity taken a less flexible line had they not, in doing so, been exposed to of public censure for being out and autocratic. date Where the tough line was em- Students join Y ployed, i the most notorious cases Hornsey Guildford and were Colleges of Art and at the Lon- Economics during don School of which disrupts lawing activity the Adams affair. the teaching or study or research As the report notes, there were damage college and of also other less publicized examples or defacement of property. authorities' willingness to the To make the scheme attack the student militants at works they suggest a new organ- Swansea, Manchester, Kent and which ization needed re- 1S Warwick. and be can Warwick of grievances was particular This be called referred. was to A student sit-in at the interest.

Backed by the Tories, right- wing elements throughout the education system in Britain are flexing their muscles for a show- down. The evidence is clear. So, too, is the evidence that the NUS will not defend its members in the coming struggle. The preparations have we noted are for a political attack on the students. It will be part of the ruling-class onslaught on the working and class all those elements hostile to capitalism.

The fight can only be won by building a revolutionary_socialist leadership. Groups like the RSSF and the International Socialists will not provide such a leader- ship. The battle in education will be fought not only against dissident students, but also against dissi- dent lecturers and teachers.

The right wing anti-strike committees which mushroomed this year in the wake of the NUT's pay claim point to this.

The formation of a council for academic freedom by the NCCL points to this. Students are not in a world What happens apart. in the universities and colleges has its counterpart in the factories.

The coming fight with the capitalists will only be won on the basis of action by the work- ing class unified behind an un- compromising socialist leadership.

Monday, December 28, 1970 LENIN: Collected Works. Volume 45 (the last in the present edition) Lawrence and Wishart 18s. THIS, the last volume of Lenin's 'Collected Works', was certainly worth waiting for. For the Stalinist leadership of the British Communist Party, its publication could not have been worse timed!

It is easy to see why. (reviewed in Volume 44 Workers Press) on October 17) dispelled a number of hoary old Stalinist. myths about Trotsky's relations with Lenin in the Civil War period. This volume does the same for he last tateful years of Lenin's political life-—and with even more devastating effect. Myth Before we turn to the docu- ments in question, let us disinter the myths they demolish. faction Stalin's Ever since Trotskyist 'Left expelled the Soviet Opposition' from the Communist Party in the 1927, legend - has run thus: lifetime, Throughout Lenin's foundation of Lenin's from the party in 1903, to the preparation of the Revolution in 1917, the winning of the Civil War and the first steps towards the con- struction of socialism, Stalin was his closest collaborator, comrade and friend. This myth has certainly taken some resounding knocks over the least of them the not years, Khrushchev's devastating revela- tions in his 'Secret Speech' to the March 1956 20th Congress of the CPSU. But despite the contradictions in official Party history exposed and by Khrushchev, both then five years later at the 22nd Con- the gress, Stalinists all over world, 'Maoist', 'liberal' and pro- have manfully Moscow alike, fought to preserve the essence of fictions first propounded the under Stalin's rule. This volume smashes them.

It shows how Lenin fought three major political battles in the last months of his political They be listed as life. can follows: • Against bureaucracy. of • Against the weakening control the state over economy. • Against Russian chauvinism.

In each case, Lenin was com- hellth, to take issue most shary despite his declining with leading Party members on questions of basic principles. And each time his main opponent was ... Stalin! Ally Volume 45 not only proves this to the hilt, it also establishes that, contrary to all the claims of the Stalinist myth makers, Lenin's main (and in fact only) ally was ... Leon Trotsky! Lenin discovered early in 1922 of Central Com- that a group mittee favoured a members relaxation in the state monopoly over foreign trade. Any weakening of this mono- poly would both undermine Soviet industry by allowing tar goods from capitalist cheaper countries to flood the market, permit Soviet private and exporters to by-pass the state and establish direct relations with world capitalism.
