We would like to draw the attention of 'The Week' readers to the existence of the newly formed ‘Campaign for Socialism.' This new organisation, set up amongst constituency party activists represents the culmination of a period of mounting dissatisfaction with the record of the Labour Government, Amongst a whole list of important issues: Vietnam, the whole complex of defence and foreign policy, steel nationalisation and many others, we have isolated two which we consider as fundamental to the continued existence of socialists within the Labour Party. It is these two specific policy issues on which our campaign is to be fought, They ares 1) a reversal of Conference decision on immigration and a return to the initial demand of the Labour Party for the repeal of the 1962 Act on immigration; 2) a mobilisation of forces within the constituencies and unions to resist any proposed Government anti-union legislation.

We would like to invite all active members of the Labour Party, who are prepared to subscribe to these two policy planks to join the Campaign, An organisational meeting to discuss the next steps forward is to be held on Wednesday, 24th. November, Anyone interested in attending is asked to telephone me at Primrose 1541 any evening,
