All Labour Party members will agree that our views are misrepresented in the National Press. In particular London is ill served in this respect as, almost without exception, its local press is unsympathetic to the Labour viewpoint.
For this reason a group of Labour Party members, trade unionists and cooperators are asking for your support in the launching of a London edition of “| abour's Voice.” The provisional aims of the paper are as follows :
1. Return of the G.L.C. to Labour control.
2. A democratic Greater London Labour Party.
3. Democratic contro! of public services: Transport, Housing,
Police, Education, etc.
4. Abolition of the City of London.
5. Comprehensive education throughout Greater London.
6. Maintenance of a Socialist Labour Government.
Active trade unionists, co-operators and constituency workers in the Greater London area are invited to join (in their personal capacities) a list of sponsors of “London Voice”. (Sponsors will support the principle of a London Labour paper without, necessarily, being committed to all the views and opinions expressed).
Organisations are invited to enrol as “supporters” of “London Voice” by (a) placing a regular monthly order for the paper; (b) sending delegates to the paper’s launching assembly and periodic delegate conferences to follow; (c) by nominating individuals for the list of sponsors; (d) -by sending a donztion to the Fighting Fund; (e) by placing an advertisement—particularly for May Day.
A working party, with Syd Bidwell, M.P., as chairman and Ken Graham of U.S.D.A.W. as secretary, is now preparing for the delegate assembly which will launch the new paper towards the end of March.
