Anthony reinforces the New Year message urgency of the tasks facing the working class and the revolutionary movement.

He begins by welcoming 'the public spirited many companies have way in which so responded the CBI's initiative in to price restraint. They have calling for done well by the country, and they deserve gratitude'. The fact is that millions of working-class people have suffered a real decline in their standard of living in 1971 because rate of price of the especially high increases in food and other basic neces- sities. The working class has an income spent almost entirely on food, clothing so that price increases and shelter, this sphere hit workers harder than the other classes. Naturally Barber does not even mention the Tory housing plans, which will increase millions of working-class rents, in some cases by 100 per cent. He also knows that a whole list of price increases, held briefly for the CBI's propaganda up exercise, are now ready to be announced.

Imperial Foods (mainly branded pickles) will announce increases on January 21.

Elida Gibbs, toothpastes and toiletries (trade names Twink, SR, Signal, Clinic, Pin-Up, etc.); price rises January 3.

Associated Biscuits, Huntley and Palmer and Jacob lines, and Lyons French coffee, January 10. Besides these: Marigold Foods, Fox's Biscuits, Groceries, Lyons Young's Seafoods, Foods, Spillers, Cadbury-Schweppes Or-Lem, and the Wright-Layman Costa, soap and shampoo company.

Even the products included in this list, which is only a tiny fraction of the total, will every single family inroads into make budget. "The Times' Business News published these names on the which same day as Barber's message, continues: 'A steady flow of increases 1S now reported the pharmaceutical and In toiletries trade.' Electricity and gas supply charges are going up, in some areas beginning on January 1. Bus and train fares are going up.

All these come after a month in which the government index of food prices shows in one an overall 2.65 per cent increase, month alone! And Barber compliments 'public-spiritedness' of companies the for attempting to conform to the CBI's per cent per year! Some- ceiling of 5 body is telling lies, and nobody supposes that the government's own statisticians have overestimated food prices by six times the correct amount!

The miners have forced their executive to the point of national strike action, and in every coalfield their exemplary discipline in carrying out the overtime ban in the traditionally high-earnings pre-Christmas period has shown what strength they will provide in the strike itself.

Barber's message means that the Tories intend, if they can, to resist and to defeat decisive sections like the miners.

Everything depends on the struggle for alternative leadership in the trade union and labour movement. Barber's show of confidence is possible only because of the trade union leaders' treachery, without •which the Tories could not have continued to rule even until now. In the struggles immediately ahead millions of workers will clash with the government and its policies. The mass of unemployed workers will not accept unemployment as a way of life. These sections can be united and mobilized against the Tory government in the struggle to build an alternative revolu- tionary leadership. workers press

THIRTEEN members of the Unity Movement of S Africa are facing trial in Pieter- maritzburg under the notor- ious Terrorism Act. They are accused of having organization's changed their policy from non-violence to vio- lence and with recruiting people to go abroad for military training the apartheid to overthrow regime. They face the possibility of the death penalty if they are convicted and the certainty of a minimum sentence of five years' jail. Under the Terrorism Act the accused men are presumed guilty unless they can prove themselves innocent and the S African gov- ernment, not content with its block-busting legal is powers, doing its best to rob the defen- dants of what legal rights remain to them. Its first step was to pre-empt as many potential defence wit- nesses as possible and turn them against the accused men. Since August, when the trial began, the state has produced 100 men and women to testify against their former comrades.

This has had the effect of spinning out the trial and vastly increasing the defence costs.

The estimated defence bill is now over £50,000 and in a recent letter to a supporter in Britain, of one the defendant's wives wrote: "The families of the accused are faced with this problem of securing attorneys and counsel fees. *I would be most grateful if you could do something towards this end. All the breadwinners are inside and we the wives are forced to fend for the children and the needs of the chaps.'

The government's latest blow at the Pietermaritzburg 13 came this week with a stringent ban- ning order against one of their main legal supporters. a 53-year- old anti-apartheid who played a major part in preparing the defence case, has now been Communist Party, he writes, the false banner parading under of ultra-revolutionism, on an anti-Marxist, anti-Leninist plat- form, and pursuing a course aimed at splitting the communist and the entirel anti-imperialist movement. 'This has engendered certain hopes among all splitters, includ- Trotskyists, couraged Chinese Stalinists' collaboration with US imperial- ism against the Bengali people is only, in reality, an application of the lessons thev learnt from the Soviet Stalinists. How does China's alliance with Yahya Khan differ fundamentally from the Hitler-Stalin Pact which followud the Moscow Trials?

Ponomarev's article is both an admission of the political bank- ruptcy of Stalinism and a warn- ing to the Trotskyist movement that Stalinism in its mortal crisis is strike back preparing to against the Fourth International.

Eire jobs and pay future is grim

BY SARAH HANNIGAN

AT LEAST 4,500 people in the manufacturing industry in the Irish Republic will lose their jobs this year.

And Michael Killeen, direc- tor of the Irish Industrial Development Authority, fore- casts 1972 will be as difficult for industry as was 1971—one of the worst years since the 1950s. The recent realignment in international currencies and the removal of the US import surcharge will be helpful, he thinks, but he does not see the level of international in- investment showing dustrial any appreciable growth, while international competition will increase. in Continued restraint and salaries wages, says Killeen, must be continued in ' 1972 and 1973 'if we are to avoid a serious setback in our industrial programme'. In 1971 average industrial earnings-less than the 1970 level--rose by 12 to 13 per which he regards cent, as excessive when compared with productivity improvements.

Frustrate He warned that continua- tion of wage-cost trends in the first two years of the 1970s would frustrate the creation of new jobs and would result in a rapid rise in unemployment — now over 70.000 and still rising. Given restraint, he wage was confident that the Indus- Development trial Authority could create 11,500 new jobs annually. unemployment in in- Yet increased dustry and services 9,000. last year by about Redundancies in the manu- facturing industry - at twice the 1970 rate--accounted for nearly 5.000 jobs. In addition. number of industries suffered loss in profits. This impaired confi- dence and ability to finance future development in these industries. Continued recession in Britain and the troubles in the N reduced the volume of industrial development in- quiries especially from the main source--the UK The confused international monetary situation and the economic slow-down in Europe and Japan, combined with uncertainty for most of the year about Ireland's indus- trial incentives svstem in ar enlarged Common Market, were also important factors.

Killeen said that in spite of all these factors, the IDA con- tinued to grant approvals for industrial projects. An new overall growth of 3,000 new jobs had been created in the manufacturing industry, he said. Save Eire's Minister for Finance George Colley on the other hand, hopes to encourage more people to save regularly during 1972. Saving, he says, is one of in the ' ways which funds become available for new investment. So while Colley is asking people to save their earnings national interest. Killeen is telling workers they must be prepared to accept that their wages and living standards must be kept down, they don't to be if want thrown on the dole. • Despite the Anglo-Irish the Frish Trueenment mas intro Irish government has duced direct to measures textile industry. protect its From Saturday duty on most imported garments will go up by about 50 per cent in an effort competition to stem from foreign-made clothes.
