Correspondence: Stalinism & the Colonies, The New International, Vol. XIII No. 7, September 1947, pp. 218–19.
Transcribed by Ted Crawford.
Marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
We are publishing, in full, an article contained in the March 29, 1947, issue of Samasamajist, organ of the Lanka Sama Samaj Party, Ceylon Unit of the Bolshevik-Leninist Party of India, a section of the Fourth International, together with a brief reply to the article by Henry Judd. [1] The pages of The New International, in contradistinction to the incredible action of the Bolshevik-Leninist Party of India which, we are reliably informed, has banned the sale, circulation and distribution of our magazine among its members because of its views (sic!), are open to any and all controversial issues under dispute in the Marxist movement. Even the objectionable and polemically exaggerated tone of the Samasamajist article, unfortunate as it is, will not deter us from our persistence in democratic discussion methods. We hope the publication of the Ceylon Trotskyists will agree with our practice to the extent of their printing Henry Judd’s reply in their publication. – Editor
