Last Thursday it
was Carlyle Capital Corporation. On Friday it was the turn of Bear Stearns, the
fifth largest bank in the USA.
The American Central Bank, the Fed, is due to meet this week to talk about
interest rates. Most likely they will cut them again. The trouble is, the more
they slash rates the more people can smell the fear.

Republication of the article is timely. In 2007 the sub-prime mortgage
bubble finally burst. The financial crisis has already had a knock-on effect on
the banks through the credit crunch. The capitalist world stands on the
threshold of recession.

On March 14 the Venezuelan National Guard arrested and
injured several SIDOR workers. The workers at SIDOR are demanding the
nationalisation of the factory under workers' control. The Minister of Labour
instead of listening to the workers is trying to break the strike, thereby
undermining the confidence of the workers in the government.

Last Sunday's first round in
the French local elections confirmed a widespread shift to the left, with
Sarkozy losing significant support. The Socialist Party did well, as did forces
that stand to its left. Here we wish to highlight the Marxist candidates
standing for the PCF in the area around Toulouse,
who significantly boosted the party's vote.

In February the 13th National Congress of
Militante-Mexico took place, with 150 comrades taking part. After a period of
intense activity over the past two years, the mood at the congress was one of
enormous confidence and enthusiasm, which is reflected in the report we provide
here.

In February five members of the IRSP were brought before a
court in Dublin,
a clear case of state harassment. It is an attempt to silence any left
criticism within the Republican movement. We publish here three articles
explaining what is behind all this and we call on all our supporters to support
these comrades.

In 1942 a slanderous campaign against the Socialist Appeal waged by the Communist
Party leaders was backed up by the Sunday
Dispatch, infamous for its early enthusiastic support of Hitler, Mosley and
the Blackshirts. They shamelessly joined forces to accuse the Trotskyists of
being Hitler's agents! Here is Ted Grant's reply to these slanders.

The price of rice in Bangladesh has a correlation with poverty, economic
and political stability. In 2000, a wage labourer could buy 6-7 kg of rice with
his daily income (about US$0.80). Now, less than half of that can be bought,
even though the income has risen over time. Rising food prices could derail all
political predictions and spell disaster for the country in 2008.

evening shift. One died, the other was hospitalised with broken limbs.

factory.

Recent local elections
in Germany
have seen the Left Party (Die Linke) emerge as a force to the left of the SPD.
At the same time we are seeing a growing level of trade union militancy. This
reflects the growing malaise within German society as a layer of workers and
youth look for an alternative.

The two-month long series of congressional assemblies of the PSUV in Venezuela
recently came to an end. The debates in the congress clearly indicate that a
left-right polarisation is taking place within the party, with the rank and
file seeking a revolutionary way out and a right-wing bureaucracy that is
trying to mould the party to its own outlook.

Para los marxistas del PSUV este congreso fundacional, con todas sus
contradicciones, pese a los manejos de la burocracia, ha significado un enorme
paso adelante en la línea de unificar el movimiento revolucionario, vencer la
dispersión y dar la batalla por dotarlo de un programa con el que luchar
por la transformación socialista de la sociedad venezolana.
