Farrell Dobbs, SWP Presidential candidate, made the following statement over the CBS network on Nov. 2 at 10 p.m. in an interview with Ned Calmar:
On behalf of the Socialist Workers Party I want to serve notice that we will not cooperate with the new administration which will be the servant of Big Business just as the old one was. After this election, as before, the Socialist Workers Party will continue in the same spirit of uncompromising struggle against the bipartisan policy of war, high prices, Taft-Hartleyism, race prejudice and witch-hunting. We have made a great beginning in this campaign towards our major objective: the education of the American workers to the need for forming an Independent Labor Party and establishing a Workers and Farmers Government. The Socialist Workers Party will persevere in this aim in the months and years to come until – we are confident – the overwhelming majority of the working people will enter the struggle to bring these great goals to realization.
