This Issue

This present issue marks a step forward in our journal insofar as we move into print. Sucha move is not without ils risks for such a modest venture because it has involved us ina heavy increase in costs, and therefore an increase in price. However, we feel that such a risk is justified because of the increased demand for such a journal as ours. Present subscriptions will be honoured but new subscribers will have to pay the increased rates.

The material presenied in this issue continues along the themes of our previous two issues. The article on the theory of state capitalism and the one on industrializing backward countries both deal with differing aspects of the same problem. Ernest Germain's article has been shortened from the original version - published some years ayo - so that it mainly deals with the theoretical aspects of the problem. The original first appeared in the journal Fourth International published in Paris by the then International Secretariat of the Fourth International, and should nol be confused with the journal of the same name now published by the Socialist Labour League.
