Workers Press, Tuesday Decemb-r¿, 1971 MUSIC in the AS PREVIOUS articles in Workers Press have shown, the period 1640-1660 acquires special signifi- cance with the deepening of the present crisis, and the perspective of working-class power. Dialectically the more urgent the tasks of the present the more English Revolution important the lessons or lie past.

The bourgeoisie itself has been extremely reticent about its role during this period. Traditionally the English Civil War has been presented as one of religious, geographical and inspiration. And though historians such as even sartorial Christopher Hill have made it impossible to hide the class nature of the conflict, great confusion is created to imply the Puritans were impregnated with the grey dust which has been permitted to accumulate on the records. The very word —inter regnum-used of the period 1649-1660 suggests 11 long years of non-event.

These differences -- economic ethnological, cultural, religious, and historical-create insuper- able problems and make the idea of union totally Utopian.

Some old problems, like that of the small national minorities, previously the cause of con- tinual conflict, have become less significant. One major problem is the im- balance of their respective trade of figures. The national income Turkey is growing at rate twice that of Greece. In nearly 1969, Turkey had a balance of payments deficit of $217m where- as that of Greece was $1,040m.

If it were not for Cyprus, this would be enough to quench the ardour of the Turks. Indeed, the difficulties and differences are increasing. Both countries export the same goodstobacco, sultanas, hides, etc. The joint policy against the Common Market is very weak, and is undermined for these reasons: • Competition in the field of Mar- exports to the Common ket. • dissimilarity of The their with the Con- arrangements Market. mon Greece The agreement with would come into effect immedi- ately if the political situation permitted it (if the Common Market countries turned a blind eye to the dictatorship). But for Turkey, the first phase of asso- ciate membership will last for 20 years. The prospect of Turkey join- ing the Common Market is fraught with difficulties. 34.1 per National Pro- cent of her Gross duct is agricultural, while that of Greece is only 19.7 per cent.

With the agricultural policy of the EEC in its present state of crisis, this disparity makes joint policy of the two countries rather unrealistic. The problem is further aggra- vated by the Cyprus problem, and the covert rivalries between

The growth of trade has been re- markable - in 1969 exports to E Europe increased by 25 per cent, and in the first half of 1970 by 42 per cent. This reflects the general policy of western countries, including the USA, to promote trade with the E. The deepest ever crisis of by capitalism, exacerbated Nixon's trade-war measures on August 15, 1971, demands the of the markets lost restoration to imperialism, and has added impetus to the conclusion of trade agreements, and therefore 'peaceful co-existence', in the Balkans.

Lame ducks unlimited THE ECONOMIC crisis always brings a group of people in its wake who specialize in making of money out those who are bankrupt or about to reach that unfortunate predicament. which There are companies exist solely to swoop, vulture- like, on dying companies, picking the bones of the lame duck.

A short time afterwards you get a reincarnated shell of a firm filled with someone's for even no one's) assets. Now one of the City of Lon- don's consultants in insolvency has hit on yet another way of making money out of the dead and dying. Mr Tom Grundy, vice-president of the Institute of edit Manage- ment, has just sic..ed a unique company in Birmingham designed to prevent people and companies going bankrupt. And what a name! Success Unlimited Ltd! There should certainly be plenty of takers for Grundy's new 'service'. Over 4,600 firms went bankrupt in Britain in 1970.

What about Grundy's theory on why firms go broke so easily these days? Is there any possible with the fact that connection world capitalism, let alone puny British capitalism, finds it some- what difficult to sell anything to anyone Wrong again. Our hero believes that wine, women and gambling are the three prime causes insolvency in that order. That information is well worth paying for. Fanning the flames LORD LONGFORD'S anti-por- nography march has received added impetus from an unex- pected quarter-the Fanmakers' Company in the City of London.

Arnold, then made this astounding observation: "There is something positively indecent about ladies using theatre programmes to fan them- selves." Ladies should return to the custom of carrying fans, advised the gentleman. As the moralistic counter- proceeds to gather revolution pace nothing is sacred from the watching eyes of our worthy fan- makers. Of course the company has no vested interest in a return to fans. That would be carrying logic too far. the job of this Apparently absurd organization was to seize and destroy any foreign fans found in London.
