Philo not a crime- counsel

Press

RIGHT - WING enWE have begun to be concerned at the, slow response to our Fund this month. We know hat most of you, dear readers, seriously feel the steep price increases beginning to dig into to fight back :is with Workers your pockets.

The trade union leaders might cringe and crawl before the Torles and accept their 4.32 WI latest laws to stop wages going up, but on this occasion thousands of workers are not behind them. Trade unionists, every where, will be forced to tackle this Tory government as their cost of living continues to sharply rise.

Only Workers Press can provide the political leadership for the struggles ahead. We must TO GO not, therefore, waste any more time in the campaign to raise this month's target of £1,750. Make up now for lost time by raising extra amounts. Collect as much as you can and post immediately to:

lan McDonald, counsel for one of the defendants, said that Cmndr Ernest Bond, in charge of the case since June 1971, considered that anyone with certain ideas could be a member of the Brigade.

Reports that the police had "targets' to reach had been described as 'think writing'. But, added McDonald, crime reporters only wrote such stories from the contacts they had.

On chemical evidence presented by the prosecution, McDonald said it consisted of 'Alice in Wonderland' reasonins:

"When it suits the prosecution, scientific techniques are relied upon. On other occasions, it is thrown aside and you are asked to use common sense.' Two of the defendants, Creek, Anna were given bail until Monday. Exactly how this can is the key question.

The Communist Party and the •Morning Star' continually demand a General Election. But a section of their own membership on the miners' executive voted on Wednesday against submitting the £7 wage claim immediately.

the Party members at Congress did nothing the TUC-government In other words the Stalinist call for a General Election is just a gloss to paint over their practical efforts to cover up for the treachery of the union leaders who avoid confronting the Tories with the mass movement.

The possibilities of a General Election depend on the way the mass movement against the Tories is built up.

The call to bring down the Tories must become the starting point of a campaign to mobilize the mass movement which will face the industrial and political conditions to force the Tory government to resign.

This is the campaign of the hour. Such a struggle would create the conditions for the return of a Labour government pledged to socialist policies.
