Barons Beware

Sandys (the leader of the 'hang'em ~ and flog'em' brigade) is director of Ashanti Goldfields Corporation with no fewer than 22 Rhodesian associate companies and 11 S. African. Lord Carrington, secretary of state for defence, is director of Barclays. which has one S. African, and three Rhodesian subsidiaries. Four more cabinet ministers (Rippon, Noble, Walker and Lord Jellicoe all have large South African interests.

What it all goes to prove is that money doesn't talk - IT SWEARS. Capitalists and Imperialists don't give a damn whether you're green or orange, black or white, all they want is to exploit you - and to hell with principles. These men who will possibly soon be deciding the fate of Ulster are all exploiters of black S. Africans as well. You can't just fight Imperialism in one country - it's worldwide!

COMBAT iT". SR. ik sv FOR DETAILS MEMBERS SHOULD RING ONE OF THE FOLLOWING NOS; 669685, 615661, 665644, The robber barons who control the Toome Eel Company have their hands in a great many people's pockets. Some of their thieving was exposed last Saturday when pickets were placed on the Company's office in Toome, the London headquarters of the eel thieves in Billingsgate, and the Corrib salmon fisheries in Galway which are owned by the same gang.

The P.D. mounted the Toome picket, local Socialists the one in Gal way and the International Socialists and several P.D. members the one in London. The pickets demanded the return of Lough Neagh to the people and protested at the issue of summonses to 18 members of the P.D. for occupying the Company's office in Toome - the thieves using the law to protect their booty.

The picket at Toome had some useful results. The shipment of a large consignment of eels due to be moved on Saturday had to put off at considerable expense, and the archrobber himself, Kuijten, the head of the Company, spent most of his Saturday watching his premises together with Head Bailiffs Smyth and Chapples. Meanwhile two police cars, one land-rover, a car-load of plain-clothes men and reinforcements hiding in Toome barracks all ‘protected’ the company's property against ten peaceful picketers. Nothing could better prove that the R.U.C. are the exploiters' friends than the constant guard on the robber barons' illgotten gains.

But the thieves are being hunted down. There will be bigger and better protests soon. The barons' homes have been discovered and contacts made with Dutch socialists to beard Kuijten in his den. Soon nowhere will be safe from the people's wrath.
