To Readers of “The Socialist Standard”

Hitherto war-time conditions have not placed as many obstacles in the way of producing and distributing THE SOCIALIST STANDARD as had been expected. Now, however, difficulties are rapidly increasing. Paper is more costly and the shortage has already made it impossible to print as many copies as could have been sold. Later on it is probable that the size will have to be reduced.

At the moment, however, a more pressing problem is the difficulty of selling THE SOCIALIST STANDARD at meetings in streets and parks. The number of meetings has been reduced, and, for various reasons arising out of war-time conditions and restrictions, opportunities for selling THE SOCIALIST STANDARD in the streets may be drastically curtailed.

We therefore ask readers who have been in the habit of buying THE SOCIALIST STANDARD at meetings to cease relying on this and take out a subscription for six months or a year.

All that is necessary is to send a postal order to the Literature Secretary, at 42, Great Dover Street, S.E.I.

The cost has been increased owing to the recent raising of the postage rates, but it will still cost you only 1s. 6d. for six months, or 3s. for twelve months.

Send in your order now if you want to be sure of receiving your THE SOCIALIST STANDARD regularly each month.

Please cross your postal orders.
