Small price

Ian Farrell reports on the Weekly Worker Fighting fund

When the December/January issue of the Socialist Party’s discussion journal Socialism Today dropped on my doormat, I searched eagerly for the elaboration of the SP leadership’s valiant struggle against the nationalist turn of its Scottish section or the rightist liquidationism of its Merseysiders - but in vain. Indonesia, France, Cuba, USA - all are covered. But for concrete questions of the day actually facing the organisation, we have to turn to the Weekly Worker.

What a priceless weapon is the openness championed by our paper in its struggle for a Communist Party! And what a small price is the £400 monthly fighting fund - a price recognised by comrades BA, MP, MR and TR, whose contributions to this week’s total of £57 take the December figure to £102l
