According to the latest Gallup Poll less than half Labour supporters are in favour of the ronationalisation of steel, and only a quarter are in favour of more nationalisation, Theso figures are an indicatian of the damage done by a long period of right-wing leadership of the Labour movoment.e The case for nationalisation has gone by default. The figures will undoubtedly be used by tho right as an argument for further retreats on this front which would produce a yet further decrease in mass socialist consciousnsss and tho vicious circle will continue. The only way to combat the present series of scurrilous anti—nationalisation ads is a counter attack in terms of the necessity to replace the irresp= onsible power of the few by popular control, RALEIGH STRIKE AT CRUCIAL STAGH: Tho mere 14—-voto majority for continuing the striko at Raleigh by AGU members is an indication of the a difficult position the strikers are in, Getting no real support from the leadership of the ADU (the latter didn't even discuss the call for the blacking of Raleigh tools) they must rely on the rest of the Labour movement to back them. A good oxample has been set by the Sxocutive of the Nottingham City Labour Party, which at its last mooting donated £5 to ‘the strike fund. A move is afoot to establish a solidarity committee fram tha T.nhour Party.§ Cnennae. wnianas. ater. tn annanl fan aoinnnant.
