But the balloon really went up when Rowlands attempted to create a smokescreen around his own activities and the Department of Trade enquiry into them. He published in letters to his solicitor, substantial information on widespread sanction busting by major British companies including Shell and BP and British Leyland.

Over 50% of oil products offloaded at Lourenco Marques in Mozambique (prior to liberation) and bound for Rhodesia were directed there by Shell and BP.

Rowlands even claims that he had the chassis numbers of the rail wagons being used and that he sent them to the British government without result.

Shell and BP are concerns in which the government has 49% ownership. Another largely state-owned company which Rowlands identifies is British Leyland which, he claims, is assembling Land Rovers for the Rhodesian security forces in South Africa and then driving them across the border.

It is quite clear, furthermore, that the State and the Labour leadership are perfectly prepared to coexist with this even to the extent of violating policies to which they give 'support' in public, such as sanctions against racist regimes.

The working class. is the only body that can find out the truth about the secret stab in the back being given to the African revolution by British capitalism, with the support of the Labour government.

trade union inquiry into the arms industry and weapons dealers is called for which must prepare the way for the nationalisation of the arms industry under workers' management. Such an industry would supply dis to surist the General Spinola is coming home. That at least is the message from Rio de Janiero, where the man who tried to turn Portugal back to fascişm recently expressed his satisfaction with the outcome of the country's presidential election.

Spinola said that he would return as soon as newly elected President Gen. Antonio Ramalho Eanes has formally taken office (this week), probably in the latter part of this month.

Spinola's confidence in finding a haven under the new government is doubtless well founded. Eanes, himself confident of the political support of Soares' Socialist Party, has lost no time in taking steps to curtail the left and head of any further advance of workers' control.

One of his first moves was to reimpose restrictions, including ban on press conferences, on Maj. Otelo Carvalho, the left populist The Arab League meeting on Monday was the scene of an international conspiracy to Presidential candidate who gained 16.5% of the vote, running second to Eanes.

The clearest indication of the policies which Eanes intends to pursue is given by the newly announced guidelines on workers' control.

Ihe constitution guarantees the right of workers "to intervene democratically in the life of a firm....to mobilise it for the revolutionary process."

But the cabinet, by way of "interpretation". of the constitution now declares that no workers' or the hierarchies of firms.' This is a blow against any real control by workers of the means of production and a move towards the fake "worker participation" offered by such firms as Chrysler and British Leyland in this country.

Eanes will seek to tie the trade unions to the implementation of government attacks on workers in every way possible.

In this, too, the British model live in the Lebanon which lies immediately north the Israeli state.

The Communist Party dominated union federation, Intersindical, has criticised the new attacks on workers' control, which they rightly say "limit the rights of workers with a view toward making workers' control ineffective and allowing capitalist recuperation in violation of the constitution"

The question is, though, how can these attacks be fought?

Portuguese workers must demand that the Communist Party break with the craven, collaboratonist politics shown in its election campagin (and which contributed greatly to its humiliating defeat) and instead actively organise and support strike action to maintain and extend the rights of workers in challenging the bosses for control of production. lines for a Middle East settlement.
