Correction (1960)

From the July 1960 issue of the Socialist Standard

In the May 1960 Socialist Standard we gave an extract from the Socialist Standard of May 1910, which was in fact corrected in the June, 1910, issue. The first three sentences, as corrected, should have read: "The Social Democratic Party in Germany occupies a similar position to the party similarly named here. Its programme (the Erfurter Programme), according to their own statement, consists of the theoretical part, based on the teachings of Marx—the materialist conception of history, the surplus value theory and the class struggle—and the practical, consisting of reforms and 'palliatives: and we allege that the whole existence of the German SDP has been spent in the advocacy of these reforms, to the detriment of Socialist propaganda. We do not hold the erroneous view . . . that the German workers must obtain certain reforms because the revolution from feudalism to Capitalism was not complete.”

We apologise for overlooking this correction.
