from Peter James The new Centre for Socialist Education includes among its founders a large number of editors of socialist papers and magazines. Besides The Week, there were also people from the boards of New Left Review, International Socialism, Views, Labour Worker, International Socialist JournalĀ» _The Socialist Register, The Bertrand Russell Peace Foundation, Labour's Voice, Voice of the Unions, Humberside Voice, and probably others besides. May I make a suggestion? As a mere mortal, I can't find time to read all these excellent papers all the time. As well there are Peace News, Tribune, The Socialist Leader, Plebs, and all sorts of other papers which might well support the C.S.E. Might not one of the new movement's first services be the compilation of a cumulative index of the socialist press? Then when we need to research the latest debate on Rhodesia, or Workers! Control, we could see at a glance where all the most helpful articles were. The ideal thing for the left would be to have one big democratic paper which everyone would read and write for. Until we can do that, an index would be extremely useful to socialist non-millionaires.
