extremely valuable. In a concise, factual manner, it publishes items about which socialists should know. A good New Year’s resolution would be to order THE WEEK. from David Steele: THE WEEK gives straight reporting of events, especially abroad, which receive very little coverage in other journals. It is comparatively free of flag-waving — the facts are allowed to “open their dumb mouths” and make their appeal through the picture that is conjured up. And the appeal is to the converted. It does not, rightly, aim at everybody, but attempts to feed the necessary ammunition to socialists to project the leftwing case. I am looking forward to the printed edition. THE WEEK follows in the long tradition of socialist pamphleteering of the “facts for socialists” kind. That is why I support it.

Stephen Swingler M.P.: THE WEEK is essential reading for socialists nowadays and a fine example of journalism.

concise and pungent
