1am writing on behalf of Chille Lacha to correct some misinfotmation about our group contained in your article Labour to Deliver Chile Warships" (Red Weekly, 13 April 1974), In the article you stated: Chile Luche, a Journal produced by Chilean Socialists in exile in this the mobilisation'- ie the demonstration ón 5 May.

Fustly, Chile Lucha is not a jourhal but a committee. Among other of Chile Fights, the official magazine of the Chile Solidarity Campaign, and its information bulletin, the Chile Monitor, Secondly, Chile Lucha is not a group of Chilean Socialists in exile, but an independent committee most of whose members are British, which a affiliated to the Chile Soldarity Campaign, Our objective is to give effective support to the revolutionaty strugale of the Chilean people against the Military Dictatorship and the bourgeois power structure.
