FOR EGA FIGHT ONLY STRIKE ACTION CAN STOP THE CURS!

Benn the lefts' do nothing but weaken and confuse the growing mass of workers looking for a way of fighting back in defence of jobs and living standards.

And they actually assist Healey and Callaghan in their reactionary deals with the IMF, as the Daily Telegraph shrewdly pointed out:

*They [Healey-Callaghan] will find shouts of protest - so long as they are not backed up by votes against the government in the division lobbies - quite helpful as a means of showing the financial world that the Cabinet has been tough over the measures which will accompany the new £2,000 million loan from the IMF."

VE served by such manoeuvres and protests from the "lefts' - nor by the empty militant rhetoric from TUC public sector leaders such as Drain (NALGO) and Fisher (NUPE) who rant on endlessly about not accepting cuts while restricting their membership tu protest marches and one-day stoppages while the cuts are daily forced through in every area.

RUTHLESS

As this next round of cuts approaches, we say clearly that if this attack is not confronted then it will not be the last.

There will be another round, another and, another as the Labour leaders ruthlessly carry out the requirements of British and international capital - forcing the working class to pay with its jobs and living standards for the world-wide crisis of profitability.

SUICIDE

Those who argue that all this is necessary to "save the Labour government" or "keep the Tories out" make no sense as all.

By-election results have already confirmed that the present Healey-Callaghan course political suicide for th HAND-OUTS And in Wallsall the defeat of Tribunite David Winnick showed that the Tribune Group's variety of spineless 'left' talk linked to reactionary import controls and handouts to private employers offers no real alternative •to workers.

The left' MPs who claim to oppose these IMF dictated cuts must stand up and be counted in the lobbies in Parliament opposing Healey's measures.

DEMAND

They must table a motion in the PLP for the removal of Healey and Callaghan, and take up a campaign throughout the constituencies to drive out the entire cabinet of wage-cutters and dole queue millionaires.

At the same time they must publicly demand that Fisher and Drain, along with the other dozen or more unions that hacked the November 17th protest, call sustained national strike action to halt the cuts.
