Name Address Agnew has been most suc- cessful in this type of rhetoric, outshining his mentor. But this is not at all to say that Nixon is in a strong posi- tion. The louder and more strident the red-baiting dema- gogy, the more we can be sure the problems are building up underneath Nixon. And he knows it. Not only is unemployment steadily rising, but inflation continually spurs on the wages struggle of the workins class.

ACCELERATION

Last month the Consumer Price Index growth rate showed an acceleration to a 6 per cent annual increase.

The pressure building up from the working class found an expression last week in the attack on White House policy by one of its most loyal camp followers, AFL-CIO president George Meany. He urged workers to repudi- who run on ate candidates THIS BOOKLET con- sists of 'Freedom and Socialism' and 'Freedom and Unity', which were introductions to a larger collection of speeches by Nyerere in 1966. In 'Freedom and Unity' ('Uhuru na Umoja') Nyerere gives a brief history of the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) - the ruling party in Tanzania. TANU• grew out of a 'tribal' welfare organization in 1954. One of its first tasks was to use 'peaceful methods of struggle for independence' (p. 4).

The Tanganyika peasantry had a heroic record of armed struggle against Germany, including the Hehe and Maji rebellions

TANU

had to convince the militants that 'we could win even without guns'. Nyerere was one of the mem- bers of the small aspirant petty bourgeois class that led the TANU. So poor was this middle class under the British policy of "white' racialism and artificial retribalization that in the 1950s 'virtually no eligible member had income approaching an income tax liability range' (p. 5).

But Britain found it expedient to use this poor, small and weak petty bourgeoisie as a new 'non- tribal' vehicle of the ultimate 'indirect rule'—-formal form of political independence itself.

Racial The British system of racial and discrimination classification made TANU itself a 'racial organization' (p. 5), and it accepted and worked various racialistic ('multi-racial') con- stitutions before Britain was finally satisfied that Nyerere's entrusted could be safely men with 'independence', in December 1961. Nyerere himself had developed 'African Socialism' an idea of based on the 'traditional African family'. It was not accidental that he should stress that 'every member of the family accepts the obligation to work'. He used the 'phoney issues' such as crime and permissiveness. As if, he said, "forward- looking candidates' favoured crime, rioting, arson, vandal- ism and big public spending for its own sake. Meany accused 'conservative candidates' of trying to sweep such 'facts' as unemployment and inflation under the carpet.

CORDIAL

This, it must be remembered comes from a man who had the cordial relations with the White House. the notorious Labour At Day dinner at the White House for union leaders, Meany toasted Nixon for his dedica- tion to 'the American way of life'. He has outspokenly backed Nixon's Indo-China war and recently aped Agnew's anti- intellectualism with attacks on 'egg heads' and their sympa- thizers. Now the AFL-CIO presi- dent has evidently felt the tribal custom of common labour ta justify working for the colonial masters. Next to work, Nyerere stressed the element of 'authority' in the tribal family, and used this con- cept to justify acceptance of the semi-colonial state by the ex- tribal peasants (p. Il et seq.).

Undermined Nyerere explains how the colonialist of Britain system undermined the common property of the tribal "family'. He gets around the difficulty raised by his own operation of a semi-colonial by economy arguing (P. 13) that everyone had to work in order to help mitigate the violation of sharing raised by the invading capitalist society.

FRIDAY'S

BY N MAKANDA

Again and again Nyerere raises the question of work, just as Kenyatta raised the slogan of 'Harambee' (work together) in order to use tribal tradition to justify colonial enslavement.

Domination Nyerere has a lot to say in both introductions about the struggle against 'white' domina- tion in S Africa, Rhodesia and Portuguese Africa. But he says nothing of the fact that his own government is by heavily dominated British- S African capital, in the diamond by. mining industry half-owned Harry Oppenheimer on behalf of the giant British-based monopoly- capital company, Anglo-American Corporation. The Tan-Zam railway line serves the giant British and S African capitalist interests in the copper mines of Zambia, whose almost total economic domina- tion over Zambia has not been changed by the 50 per cent nationalization agreements early in 1970. When Nyerere and Kaunda saw Heath in October about arms for S Africa, Heath reminded Kuanda that Zambia traded via S Rhodesia with S Africa.

WORKERS PRESS

MEANY

wind from the other direction and has accused the Adminis- tration of failing to honour its promises of five million new jobs and to curb inflation 'forcing without American workers to pay • for it with their jobs'. 'But the workers are paying', he said. "The burden of reces- sion and inflation is falling on them . . If Meany is forced to side- step to attack his bosom friends today, this will be tac- tical preparation for new betrayals of the working class tomorrow. This emphasizes • again the urgent necessity of building an independent US Labour Party on a Marxist programme. But Heath knew well enough that Zambia did no trade at all with S Atrica, but that it was the British-owned African gold, diamond, and copper other mining capitalists who did all the trading, using Zambia's state and name in order to do so. Nyerere's introductions say next to nothing of the economic basis of apartheid - namely capital, whose interests British his 'African Socialism' has always served. Nyerere repeatedly stresses the need for 'private investment organizations' (p. 19) despite the formal acceptance of common the basis of property as socialism. Re-enslaved But the cannot come from negligible capitalist class Nyerere, willy-nilly, represents.

It has to come from the im- perialist powers and, through 'using' such capital, Nyerere ipso facto re-enslaves Tanzania to monopoly capital. His acceptance of 'international capital' leads to his acceptance of the international agency of im- perialism-UNO itself (p. 21).

The 1967 'Arusha Declaration' of

TANU

defined 'African Socialism' and absorbed the 'familyhood' (ujamaa) idea of Nyerere (p. 28). Once again the idea of work was emphasized (p. 35). Nyerere uses the low national income per head of £20 per annum to call for more work.

But he takes no trouble to explain that it is those who work most who get this £20 a year, while the British and S African capitalists in Tanzania who do not work at all get millions.

He evades the question of the uncompensated expropriation and nationalization of the foreign imperialist interests, business capital, investments, trade rights, concessions and leases; in parti- cular of British capitalist interests in Tanzania. Myth All his talk (pp. 40-46) about Marx and Lenin of social and progress in the USSR, N Korea and China are part of the fashion- able myth that Tanzania is a 'transition country', and a mask- ing of the fact that it is a semi- colony, mainly of Britain.

Nyerere's attitude to Britain is not sufficiently explicit in the pamphlet, including his stand on the Commonwealth, that institu- tion of 'white domination' and African servitude to which his government still subscribes.

Despite this and many other omissions (including his calling in of British troops to save his government in January 1964, after the Zanzibar rising), the booklet should be read by all real socialists. 'African Socialism' is not socialism, because it is not anti- imperialist. Nor is it 'African'. It is Euro- pean (Social Democratic-Catho- lic) in origin.

Friday, October 30, 1970 The article does not mention the industrial reform code either, which was hailed by the Peruvian Communist Party as a step forward in the 'legal restriction and limitation of private property and of the • of wage labour'. exploitation The mode in which such "legal restriction and limitation' of private property and ex- ploitation takes place consists of linking wage increases to profit increases! In expressing such open and unconditional support to the military Bonapartist regime in are doing Peru, the Stalinists nothing less than joining hands with far-sighted monopolies who also openly support the Peruvian regime. dangers facing the The Peruvian working class are extremely serious. Integration . into the state machinery by means of a government - controlled union structure is certainly the most immediate and serious menace.

This integration would un- doubtedly be a tactical defeat of the Peruvian working class.

In the context of a rising situation revolutionary in Bolivia, the opening of a per- manent crisis situation in Chile with the inauguration of the Socialist - Communist-Christian Democrat government, and the worsening of the capitalist equilibrium in Argentina, this would be a particularly harsh blow that could delay the development of revolutionary.

struggle. The Stalinists in Peru pre- tend no danger exists and, on the contrary, say that all sup- port should be given to the military and all independent banners should be lowered.

Predictably British Stalinist leaders are supporting them and publishing their misleading and false views. The task in Peru, as in Britain, is to destroy the poisonous influence of Stalinism and construct the Trotskyite, party. Bunny. 5.20 Is that a fact.

NUM general secretary Lawrence 'At first the 10s offer was on condition that we next year naintain the global level of out- put achieved in the first six months of this year and that we attempt to reduce absentee- ism. But we completely rejected these suggestions. 'Eventually the union offered its co-operation in these matters, but gave no guarantees. How can we guarantee increase after in productivity when increase manpower is continually being reduced and in some cases geological conditions are getting worse? In fact what we under- took on Tuesday was no more nor less than our position in the past.' The future is still unclear.

There could be immediate trouble or the flash point may come when and if Robens insists in delaying pay-parity of all miners under the National Power Loading Agreement. Another big struggle could come, on the other hand, after the annual conference next July when the new resolution on pay, closures and productivity will be discussed. There might also be the pos- sibility of a special conference to discuss the lessons of the ballot especially the two-thirds and majority rule. There are moves to revise it in favour of a simple majority clause. One thing is certain the tur- moil in the ranks of the miners can only increase. The government cuts and the general Tory policy is bound to provoke a reaction from this newly-aroused but traditional group of fighters. It was true to say that if we had struck we would have been involved in a big political battle.

"There is great anti-Tory hosti- lity amongst miners, but then at all levels there are the men in the union who will accuse you of using them and the union to fight your own political batle- even if you say, as I did around the coalfields before the ballot, that the strike would involve political issues. Therefore you must keep the wages question at the centre. Fight! Politically 'I think you have to fight politically, but it is a question of exactly how you do this. Here I suppose your paper and I differ.

MRS LINDA KING,

Ollerton (Notts) : I AGREE with the miners having more money, they work for it- don't they? My friend's husband is a pit top man. He had a heart attack 18 months ago. Now he is work having to seven-day week. That isn't right. It is the wives who suffer if they go on strike. But they work hard for their money and I don't think it's anything. I have to go out to work be- cause miners don't bring enough in. * This strike frightens me. We'll suffer. But I think I will stand firm for it because they are only fighting for what's right. Even if they get the f5, about £2 will go in tax. I read the statements from miners in the 'Workers Press' and I thought they were good, especially the one from Ecky Barker who asked if Robens would take a cut in his pay rise.

MRS LEE BURKILL,

wages, in my opinion, are disgusting. Every knows how the cost of woman •living is continually rising and miners' how the wages have stood still. Every woman should support her husband and not be put off by Robens' talk of pit closures.

Pits have been closing for years anyway. * The way I see it, the miners and the whole working class are struggling against the employers who are backed up by the Tory government, which is now think- Ing of bringing in anti-union laws. And the NUM leaders, what about' them? Are they preparing to fight a Tory government? Are they preparing to stick out till the demands are won? The miners have the strength and other sections of workers— the dockers, transport workers and power station workers-have already offered their support. So it is important that we as miners' wives give our support too.
