Answers to correspondents

A. COOK (Bramley, Leeds)—1. No such statement appeared in the ” Socialist Standard.”
2. The person you refer to was a member of our Party, and as such assisted in the production of our Party organ. Some time ago he resigned from the Party, and we know nothing of any alleged relations of his with the individual you refer to.
3. The 18th Annual Report of the Commissioner of Labour, U.S.A. is one authority for the statement.
4. It is not as you appear to think, a matter of “two revolutionary forces divided over the question of industrial organisation.” This Party is a Socialist party whereas the S.L.P. is not. That this is the case may be seen from the article on the subject in our August ’06 issue.
