Ploase sond me more information about the Wo Before you throw away last year's diary, just stop and look back at the record of the Workers Socialist League over the past twelve months.

Every day of every week our members have been in the vanguard of the struggles against capitalism and its agents in Britain.

The political leadership and practical support given by the WSL have been crucial to workers fighting in a massive range of struggles.

*We have played a leading role in the campaign to defend the 'Cowley 9' from victimisation by the TGWU bureaucracy.

*Our intervention in British Loyland has helped bring the break-up of worker participation, and gave a national lead in the fight against coroprate bargaining, the 5% limit, and massive speed-up and sackings.

*Our movement has been at the forefront of support for unionisation struggles at Grunwick,: Garners and elsewhere.

*WSL policies have strengthened the fight against the cuts-in South Oxford the South Nursery occupation, London hospitals and in other areas.

*As growing numbers of youth have moved into politics, the WSh. has supported the building of the Socialist Youth League and its monthly paper *1978 has seen fresh theor. etical work on Ireland-with the publication of a major series and regular coverage in our press along with Irish Perspectives.

*Other issues on which we have fought for international solidarity include struggles in Iran, Eritrea, the Middle East and Africa as well as repression in Latin America.

*We have published. "Communists' Against Revolution, a major theoretical book, and extensive coverage of so-called 'Eurocommunism' ', in a full year of our weekly paper.

No other movement can boast such a proud and principled record.

All these achievements have not come about by magic or by accident.

Strength .. To make this impact, our comrades have been guided constantly by the strength of our programme and by the confidence that only the policies we put forward can answer the objective needs of the working class.

It is those strengths and the discipline of a revolutionary organisation that will carry our work forward to new levels and into new areas in 1979.

The WSL is not a large organisation, yet we have been able to achieve all this already with our severely limited resources.

More support But to extend that work even further, nationally and internationally, we need more support and more members.

So we're asking our regular readers to make a real New Year's resolution this year, and think hard why they have not joined us before?

What reason can you have for holding back?

If you're seriously prepared to fight against imperialism to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat, then there's only one place where you belonginside the WSL, working with us to reconstruct the Fourth International.
