We cannot accept that there is any problem in 'explaining to Pathfinder Books' that Red Books would be taking over distribution of its publications from Alan Harris. This being the case we are confronted with a position where the SWP refuses to supply publications to the official bookshop. of the British Section, but instead insists on supplying them direct to a member of the minority tendency of We would ask you to consider a hypothetical case: Suppose that the IMG, as publishers of a large number of books by Trotsky, etc., refused to supply them to the SWP but insisted that these be distributed in the United States via a minority tendency (which for instance might take the position that the YSA should advance the slogan 'Victory to the NLF on mass demonstrations).

We think that in a case like this that you could be understood if you thought that the IMG was trying to support a minority—politically you to help us to remove this organizational difficulty. We would point out that such affairs as the creation of Leader Books is in complete violation of the decision of the National Committee of the IMG and makes more difficult an objective political discussion. We hope that no one thinks that the minority tendency of the IMG will be strengthened by such actions. Quite the reverse: this tendency will become even more isolated the more it appears to be trying to circumvent the democratic norms of the IMG.

We should point out that this tendency is widely considered to be in solidarity with the SWP's criticisms of the majority position in the International. We would recall to your attention that this tendency first manifested itself when its leader, Comrade Susan Williams, appealed to the British delegation at the last world congress to be seated for the discussion on China in order to cast her vote against the majority. Furthermore it is well known that: (a) about half the members of the tendency are ex-members of a section which obliged to operate our democratically-decided decisions as soon as possible. We cannot procrastinate because of the serious state of affairs (our political opponents are well aware that Leader Books operates independently from our We intend to pursue this matter in an extremely serious manner: The British Trotskvist movement has suffered in the past from lack of understanding of the meaning of democratic centralism as applied to the task of building a mass section of an international revolutionary party. We would be failing in our duty of helping to construct a mass section of the FI in Britain if we did not take immediate and decisive steps to nip this situation in the bud.

We ask you to give us an undertaking that you will supply our bookshop , with your publications without insisting that we purchase them from a concern which has been set up in violation of our democratically decided decision.

Revolutionary greetings, Pat Jordan CONTINUED TOMORROW
