A LONDON VOICE? from Richard Fletcher
For many years the London Labour Party has published its ow "London News", supported by trade unions, Co-operative organisations and constitq uency parties in the London area. Owing to financial difficulties the London News is to cease publication, Believing that a Labour paper should continue to cover the London area, the Voice has offered to make available a special London edition = to be called, possibly, "Voice of London Labour to be under the direct control of labour, trade union and co-operative organisations in the metropolitan area. The cost of the 12-page paper will be 6d, and provided a minimum circulation can be guerenteed, Voice will carry the costs of publication and distribution on a non-profit basis.
A preparacory :committee has been set up and all orgenisations are being circulated with the request that they order copies of a first, trial issue and also book advertising space. The next step will be to elect a London editorial board at a conference of delegates voting on the basis of readership. It is hoped that the preperatory committee will complete its arrangements in September and that the first e@ition will be published before the election in Octcber, All organisations in the metropolitan area are asked to give these proposals their urgent consideration, to book advertising space and to order the maximum number of copies of the first issue. Ed. note: orders for copies, requests for advertising space, and applications for delegates credentials (for the editorial meetin: after the General Election) should be sent to:
