from N.M. Last Sunday (3rd December) about 100 people gathered at the graveside of "Red Clyde" leader, John Maclean. This memorial meeting was organised by the recently~formed Workers! Party of Scotland (Marxist-Leninist), and was a resumption of the annual commemorative ceremony held since Maclean's death in 1923 until a few years ago. The W.P.S. decided last month, after Winnie Ewing's victory at Hamilton, that the time had come when Maclean's ideas and theories, and especially his call for a Socialist Republic of Scotland, should again be recognised for their fundamental worth and value in the present political situation. Ken Houlison (W.P.S.) chaired the meeting and: among the speakers were Harry McShane, Maclean's associate of the "Red Clyde" days, famous Scottish writer and broadcaster, Oliver Brown, George Leslie (S.N.P. candidate in the famous Pollok by-election), and Nan Milton, John Maclean's daughter.
