HELP IV SURVIVE IN "95!

International Viewpoint is unique. Never "neutral" , we find our news wherever there is a struggle for liberation and progress. We take the side of the oppressed, but we don't confuse our dreams with the often hard reality.

Our correspondents are activists in the social struggles in their country. As such, they have a particular point of view not reflected in the mass media, which are increasingly servile towards the rich and powerful.

International Viewpoint like our German, French and Spanish publications, links socialists in 50 countries on all five continents. With no ties to any one country or party, International Viewpoint is an unique and essential means of communication and dialogue for those who want to change the world. International Viewpoint helps understand the contradictions of the capitalist political and economic system, as well as the challenges of building democratic and revolutionary left wing parties.

For all these reasons, International Viewpoint gets no state support, no private advertising, and has no financial backers. Everything is financed by our readers. In a world where ideas are reduced to commodities to be bought and sold, the existence of

March 94 a magazine like ours is a constant struggle.

Twelve months ago we announced, in a letter like this, that unless we attracted new subscribers in 1994, the future of International Viewpoint would be threatened.

Over the last twelve months we have reduced production costs to the absolute minimum, and cut our staff. Over the past twelve months our paid up circulation has increased by just over 25%. Yet, encouraging as this is, it is not enough to secure a stable future for the magazine.

We have therefore, reluctantly, decided that the current cover and subscription prices, last increased in 1992, will have to increase if we are to maintain contacts with our global network

Beginning in January, we will publish the monthly results of the subscription drive. The rest is up to you.

In solidarity

International Viewpoint editorial board

SOLIDARITY SUBSCRIPTION This magazine is too expensive for readers in many countries. For many political prisoners, International Viewpoint is the only link to the socialist movement outside the prison walls. Until recently, we have been able to distribute one third of our print run to these activists and prisoners. Our current financial difficulties have forced us to reduce the number of magazines we distribute free to the bare minimum.

You can help! As soon as we receive contributions marked "solidarity sub" equal to a six month or one year subscription, we add another solidarity reader to our mailing list. And if you wish, we will inform him or her of your solidarity. 35 International Viewpoint #262 December 1994
