about the ill-health of the Spanish dictator, General Franco. All the knowledge of modern medical science is being marshalled to keep this walking munmy from the era of Nazism alive.

This exposes all the tough talk by the Spanish regime in recent weeks for the sham it is. Just beneath the surlace 1s a seetning mass or discontent, as ure recent arrest of oppositionist officers in the armed forces shows. For this reason the regime is eager to smash the main centres of resistance to the dictatorship - especially the powerful working class vanguard in the Basque country before the dictator passes away.

There are only two forces that can stop unis reiga o LIOT LIC HOWLI struggle of the bpanish masses and the actions of the international workers movement in solidarity with this struggle. The organisation of international action to isolate we dictatorsmup is now more NAME...

Ал important opportuni to get this work on the road in the British labour movement comes with the call of the Action Group Against Repression in Spain and the 'Iberian 19" Defence Campaign for a national demonstration against the repression in Spain on 15 November. This demonstration has already received the sponsorship of a number of Labour MES - Including Joan Maynard, Judith Hart, Audrey Jo Richardson - the National Union of Students Polytechnic Policy Conference, and the LSE Students Union.

This demonstration should be built throughout the labour movement up and down the country. We must immediately start work to ensure that 15 November - the first national demonstration in solidarity with the Spanish struggle - is the beginning of a real mass solidarity movement within the British working class.

STILL NOT ENOUGH!!

There was a fair response to our appeal last week for £310 by the end of the month, to help us reach our regular £500 Fund Drive target for October. A total of £113.27 came in, including £48 from East London IMG, £18.47 from West London, £16.80 from South West London, and another £10 from North London. This was a fine responso from our London supporters, who provided no less than £93.27 of the total.

But, comrades, it still isn't enough! We now need another £196.50 before the end of the month to reach our target. So we appeal to our readers and supporters outside London to rush in their quotas or extra donations now. If you're holding big socials to celebrate the Russian Revolution, then get a comrade to underwrite your success then by sending in your money now. We need the money urgently, so rush it in to: Red Weekly Fund Drive, 182 Pentonville Road, London N.1.
