It appears that the Government has definitely decided to make the repressive aspects of the incomes policy permanent, What is worse they appear to have the intention of intensifying these represseve features, Thos union leaders who accepted the incomes policy thinking it was a temporary measure have had their illusions smashed, Many sections of the working class which favour the incomes policy will think again, In short, now things are more clear cut there is a much better basis for opposing the Government on this issue, But opposition will not arise spontaneously leadership is required, The seamen's strike and numerous smaller struggles have demonstrated that given a lead the workers are prepared to fight. The lobby of Parliament on February 21 must be part of a process to work out a strategy for fighting the wage freeze and anti-trade union legislation, The trade union executives meet on March 2 = they too should be lobbied and between now and that date every effort be made to force the executives to reverse their former support of the Government,
