Scant Support
Both the Socialist Action League and the Marxist Labour Group are small organisations whose national membership would number less than 50, i.e. about a fifth of the people at the Wellington Hart meeting last week. Neither have ever attracted widespread support as small sections of that part of the international Trotskyite movement which has its headquarters in Paris, the 'United Secretariat' of the Fourth International. Despite their lack of members and popular support, both groups could make a useful contribution to the anti-apartheid movement. It seems however, that in an effort to keep their heads above water they have been prepared to sacrifice unity for the chance of publicity and personal gain.
