COMRADELY GREETINGS to the members of the newly formed Cookstown Independent Socialist Committee which held its inaugural meeting last Friday.
The Committee has been formed by a group of Bernadette Devlin's election workers and issued a statement explaining its aims: 'The need for an independent socialist movement in Mid-Ulster is now very evident." Condemning the formation of the SDLP as a politicians' manoeuvre, they say: "Anyone who hopes to achieve real change in the system here can have no support for any pale-green tory party. We care little whether Bernadette has 80 or 80,000 aspiring supporters in this constituency , as long as they are dedicated to her policies. You cannot praise Bernadette Devlin in one breath and condemn her socialism in the next. Only a socialist movement will fight for the rights of farmers, workers and small shopIt is understood that similar independent socialist committees are to be set up in other parts of Mid-Ulster and plans have already been made for groups in Carrickmore and Strabane.
P.D. welcomes the formation of these groups. When we have criticised Bernadette Devlin, it has been for her past failure to create a democratic party in her own constituency. We wish her constituents who have taken this initiative every success and look forward to opportunities of co-operating with Bus to Dublin There will be an Anti-Nixon Demonstration in Dublin on Sunday A bus organised by P.D. will leave from Ulsterbus Terminal, Glengall Street, on Sunday morning at 10.00 am.
