Labour lefts' say DON'T BE BEASTLY TO BROWN

WITH four days to go our fund stands at £429 5s. 9d. We still need £570 14s. 3d. by first post next Monday, December 1, if our target of €1,000 for the month of November is to be achieved.

These are anxious days. Our costs will be barely covered if the target is achieved.

Any falling behind now would place us in unnecessary difficulty—so rush your donations to us at once.

Without honour, dig. nity or principle these wretched men defend Wilson and the right wing with a consistency that is really amazing.

Their refusal to fight Brown or Wilson has nothing to do with preference for 'policies' as opposed to 'personalities'.

A review of the record of these beopre and TREN' paper "Tribune' shows clearly that their opposition to Wilson is as phoney as their claim to be socialists.

Like a couple of GraecoRoman wrestlers in a nontitle fight they grunt and heave, curse and sweat, but make sure that no injury is suffered by either party and that the fight is concluded according to the promoter's injunction: remember that the man in the ring is your partner—not your enemy!

It's all a part of the parliamentary game-and any respectable 'left' knows that in that game principles are one thing and unity and leadership are another. Principles?

Listen to the Maharishi of the Labour-'lefts', Michael Foot:

pediency and contempt for principles and theory which has kept the labour movement shackled to the capitalist class and makes the 'left' betray over and over again.

It is • the same cretinous belief that led 'Tribune' in its editorial 'January 6, 1967) to state:

Sincerity?

"There is no need to doubt the* sincerity of George Brown's desire to see the Vietnam war brought to an end'.

How touching!

Nobody, of course, doubts the sincerity of Mr Brown. All his beliefs-support of the H-bomb; attacks unions; support of immigration control etc.—are sincere.

The question was-and is—on whose terms does Brown, and for that matter Mr Foot, want the war concluded?

On this fundamental issue very little separates the right from the 'left'.

They all agree that "peace' can come only through negotiation and through the good offices of the UNO-the thieves' kitchen of imperialism.

None of them ever conceived of the possibility that an enduring peace will come only through the military defeat of US imperialism as a result of the solidarity of the Vietnamese, European and American workers.

Rejecting the path of class struggle and active solidarity "Tribune' and the 'lefts' now find themselves in the blind alley of imperialist diplomacy and Soviet subterfuge.

Electric fence Nothing exemplifies this cynicism better than the article of Russell Kerr MP, in 'Tribune' (September 29, 1967) called A glimmer of hope in Vietnam' in which he supported unreservedly the creation of an electrified fence across the de-militarized zone.

Kerr, arguing more like a logistics expert for Johnson than a Labour MP, concluded his article in the most sinister way: nay, paralysed, in the tace of the massacres in Vietnam and the crisis in the Labour Party?

It is only the Socialist Labour League and the Young Socialists who have not been caught unawares because they remained true to proletarian internationalism and the programme of world revolution.

We insistently warn the working class to place no trust in the Foots and Kerrs in the Labour Party and urge all workers to demand that Wilson and Brown be made to resign and that Wilson should not be allowed to go to Washington.

We say once again:

• Stop Wilson's visit to the US!

All out on January 11! Victory to the NLF! Down with secret diplomacy.
