A MESSAGE FROM ELLIS HILI- MAN, Greater London County Councillor and editor of Municipal Enterprise: “THE WEEK is an_ invaluable guide to what is going on not only in Britain but internationally. “As someone principally connected with municipal politics I find ‘THE WEEK broadens one’s horizons and makes one aware of the revolutionary changes taking place all over the world. “THE WEEK should find a place in every library in the country and I wish the new printed edition every success.” from Raymond Williams: I have read THE WEEK regularly ana I am very glad it is to go ito print. Its range of reports and analysis is already impressive and cen be significantly extended by an increased circulation. There are so few independent journals of THE LEFT, and in the crisis of the Labour Government they have an indispensable and very difficult role against the orchestration and opinion by the established press. I wish THE WEEK every strength and success. Ralph Miliband writes: THE WEEK has already begun to provide the kind of factual socialist analysis which is so badly needed, 2nd its service to the Labour Movyement will be of quite exceptional value in the critical period ahead. Socialists in the Labour Movement will have a high stake in its success. “The editors and staff of VOICE NEWSPAPERS greet the appearance of the printed WEEK with enthusiasm. The role of THE WEEK in keeping socialists informed of important events that never appear in the capitalist press is now more vital than ever. We're with you all the way.” from Trevor Griffiths: I look forward with the keenest anticipation to the appearance of the printed WEEK. Since it burst upon the scene, THE WEEK has become steadily more indispensable. — It deserves the fullest support of socialists’ everywhere.

THE WEEK is a digest of news
for busy socialists. Its value is not
that it is exciting, amusing, highly
significant or even fabulously alive—-
it is more like fertiliser: essential.
jrom Fim Mortimer
I have read THE WEEK from the
first issue. I shall continue to read
it. In Britain we need more, not
fewer, organs of radical opinion. I
do not always agree with the interpre-
tation placed upon events by THE
WEEK but I find its comments
stimulating. I like also its selection
of news.. I hope it is successful as
a printed publication.
jrom Alan Rooney:
Best wishes to the new, posh
WEEK. May it inspire even more
socialists to thought and action.
The Editors of New Left Review:
THE WEEK is excellent, essential
reading for socialists unable to obtain
this type of collated information from
the capitalist press. We hope you
will keep up the first-class standards
already set.
Perry Anderson, Ronald Fraser
