A brochure has been produced to explain ideas behind the decision to call a conference of Manchester socialists on November 14th. It says:"this brochure is presented by some Manchester socialists who are concerned about the present drift away from socialism by the Labour Party and the Government. We have called a discussion conference to give socialists the opportunity to discuss this situation and set about correcting it. We hope that the papers in this brochure will help to stimulate the discussion, We invite contributions. These will be duplicated and circulated at the conference." Among these papers are "Restoring socialism to the Labour movement" by Dick Nettleton, North West Organiser for OND; "Which way for socialism?" by Alan G. Rooney, editor, Labour's Northern Voice; "Pressure Group for socialism" by Rosalind Delmar, former chairman of Colleges and Universities CND; and the two articles from the last issue of Blackpool Briefing by Ken Coates and Walter Kendall which assess the Blackpool Conference.
