There a number of interesting articles in the April issue of Voice of the Unions. The lead article: "Bankers! Veto or Workers! Power" poses the alternatives before . Britain as "Voice of the Unions believes that either Labour or the City mst govern Britain, One or the other. Lord Cromer must goe Wilson should appoint a new governor of the Bank of England when the post falls vacant in Junesecsees International bankers, however, insist that Threadneedle Street, and not Whitehall, shall govern Britains" The rest of the article. examines in detail the role of the City, its stake in the British economy, its importance in terms of exports, (or rather lack of importance), looks at some of the economic problems facing Britaine It concludes: "Britain's basic wealth is the skill, talent and hard work of its million-strong labour force, Britain is a wealthy nation which, if it sold off its overseas investments, would be stronger than most of its trading rivals," : This article is written around a quotation from Harold Wilson pledging himself to "keep Sterling strong® Other articles include two on aspects of the incomes policy, Peter Wyncoll discusses the attitude of staff unions towards the incomes policy. Walter Kendall contributes an article on James Connolly, the "Easter Hero", The centre-page spread goes into strikes and proves its headline "Strikes Lower; Prices!!!" Packed with facts and figures this centre-spread will be extremely useful for anyone who wants to counter the current anti-union, anti-strike propaganda of the press, Other articles cover a wide range of industrial topics, The paper comments on the recent establishment of the London Industrial Shop Stewards! Defence Committee, Whilst welcoming the development, Voice of the Unions draws attention to what it considers to be a weakness in the ideas’+ hind the committee, The discussion thus opened is a very important one and deserves to be taken very seriously without a slanging match, It is impossible in a short article to summarise the two points of view but no doubt this argument (if it is that) will find m echo in the columns of The Week. I hope in the mean time that The Week will support both Voice of the Unions and the Shop Stewards! Defence Committee and work for united action against the incomes policy.
