Co-operative Advance is a modest but extremely useful publication devoted to problems of the Co-operative movement. It is the journal of the Co-operative Advance movement, which arose out of the fight against the attempts by the right in the Royal Arsenal Co-op to witch-hunt the left. We have just received number 3. This has a lot of material comparing the conditions of Co-op employees with those of the John Lewis Partnership and and Marks & Spencers. It is sad to say that the Co-op comes out badly in these comparisons, and the facts and figures quoted will, no doubt, provide valuable ammunition for USDAW members engaged in negotiations, The question of the co-ops handling South Africa goods is also dealt with and in addition to an article supporting boycott, and exposing the General Committee's manipulations, the journel has insérted'. the Anti-Apartheid leaflet naming South African brands. Two other articles deal with expenditure on political purposes. Co-operative Advance can be obtained from Will Fancy, 45, Greenvale Rd., London 5.E.9., 2/- a year, post-paid.
