New Zealand Dear editor, We would like to congratulate you on putting out a superb socialist newspaper.

Down here in New Zealand it is often difficult to form an objective picture of political developments in the United States.

Your reports, written in a clear and accessible style, help to fill the gap. It is good to see that Socialist Action, as well as the Fourth Internationalist Tendency and the Socialist Unity current, are keeping the banner of the Fourth International flying in the United States.

We do not necessarily agree with everything you publish, and regret the divisions that continue to exist among American Trotskyists. But your coverage on the peace and anti-apartheid POLAND SPECAL Subscribe now!

With internationalist greetings, F.M., Christchurch, N.Z.

Likes paper Dear editor, My friends in the Free South Africa Coalition have found your information on South Africa most hopeful. A friend of mine will be contacting you shortly to get some back issues of Socialist Action that have substantial articles on South Africa. Perhaps you could supply some other materials as well.

Keep up the good work.

M.S.R., olumbia, S.C. Dear editor, Dear Jake, Leaders stink I am enclosing $5 for a subscription to Socialist Action. I'd also like to tell your readers that as a member of the Team -sters union in St. Paul, I support Local P-9 very strongly. I think that their leadership in Wash -ington stinks. I think it's wrong that the governor of our state sent in the National Guard as Hor -mel's own private army.

I hope to God all the unions in the state of Minnesota remember our governor Rudy Perpich when it's election time. He's not a friend of labor.

What P-9 needs is a lot of support from all the unions. It also has to get support from its townspeople. They have to get a club one foot longer than the ones the police and the guards have. They have to stand shoulder to shoulder. I will join them.

Roy Fitzgerald, St. Paul, MN Proud of P-9 The following letter was sent to Socialist Action member Jake Cooper by Genora Dollinger (Johnson), leader of the famous Women's Brigade in the Flint General Motors strike of 1936. This letter is reprinted with the author's permission.

The news is so dismal each day for those of us who have been midwives of industrial unionism. Labor is taking such a beating on every front. Hard won gains are being scrapped while these caricatures of national union leaders are falling all over each Dear editor, the city.
