The petition reads:

"In 1959 a majority of young people voted Tory. Now polls show that youth are turning in increasing numbers to Labour. In 1959 there was no Young Socialist movement. Surely, therefore, the YS must have played a considerable part in this conversion. This, and the revitalising influx of youth into the Labour Party itself, shows that ,~ strong Young Socialist movement is indispensible in the fight for a socialist Britain..." it then goes on to make a number of demands, the key one of which is the right of minorities 'both right and left..to express their views. The Week pledges 100% support for this campaign, and calls on all readers to do likewise. Petition forms, forther information, copies of the statement, etc, can all be obtained from: 'Y.S.
