PUBLISH THEORETICAL MAGAZINE
The Japanese Trotskyists, divided into various groupings for some years, have been engaged for some time in efforts at uniting. in a common organization affiliated to the Fourth International,
As a step in. this direction, the two biggest sectors have undertaken to publish a joint bimonthly theoretical magazine called - Fourth International.
The first two issues included articles on the maturing revo~ lutionary situation in Korea, the present stage of the restoration of Japanese imperialism, the specter of Trotskyism in the Sino-Soviet dispute, the position of the Japanese Communist party in the Sino- Soviet dispute, and several articles on Japanese politics.
The second issue also offered its readers a full report on the situation facing the Ceylonese Trotskyists following the capitu-. lation of Dr. N.M.Perera. It published an article on the subject by Edmund Samarakkody, a declaration by the United Secretariat of the Fourth International, a declaration by the Lanka Sama Samaja Party (Revolutionary Section), and a statement by the Japanese Revo-~ lutionary Communist League,
The third issue, scheduled to appear in September, will offer a series of articles on the.Japanese trade-union movement,
