I enclose two issumof the Vorkere the role of the and trade union wovenent which A Full dinoloaure SAYO STACERT Since Identity or chie I bave attempted to this matter from your We ask you once again, will • FREET SHREW:

Actually, comrade Johns, it is you and your organisation that has an obligation to axplain why you welshod on the anti-fascist struggle at Red Lior Square and on all the other anti-fascist mow is tons Doin Delore and after Red Lion Square Your insinuation that "the ING are covanny up того ponce адопт En твен ranks is both offensive and particularly obscene when the IMG is facing a witch-hunt from the state following the publication of the Scarman Report One may add that it is a strange way for the WAP to defend militants against the attacks of the ruling class.

In order to put astop to your slan derous references to the unnamed witness. I will explain why that comrade's name was withheld. He had just taken a job in a factory which was un organised, and he was involved in trying to organise the labour force. Obviously had he been called, and his name baroned across the press, it would have been very easy for the employers to sack him This would have been the effect of naming himis this what you want? Of course, we had no guarantee that the Tribunal or the police would not notily his employen, but we had to take those steps open to us to protact our militant.

Vie witl be very interested to hear trom the WRP what it intends to do in defence of the IMG -because do not fear, comrades of the WRP, the attacks now being made on the ING are the forerunners of further attacks not just on the revolutionary left but on the entire working class movement.

Yours fralemally Bob Pennington (for the IMG Politi cal Committeel. 5******» SUBSCRIBE:
