Funds appeal (1988)

From the October 1988 issue of the Socialist Standard

It is a long time since we made an appeal for funds in these columns and we do so only when the work of the Party shows signs of outstripping its finances.

To sell the Socialist Standard at 40p and to try to keep the price-range of our literature as low as possible involves a subsidy from the General Fund which slowly erodes it. Add to this the routine things like electricity, telephone and rates, and it is not long before we have to look round to see what we can cut back on, when we should be expanding our activities for socialism and going forward.

We are well aware that our fellow workers to whom we address this appeal have their own financial worries. If, however, you think it is worth getting rid of the system which produces them, please send as much or as little as you can. Cheques should be crossed, made payable to the Socialist Party of Great Britain and sent to theTreasurer at 52 Clapham High Street, London SW4 7UN.
