From The Militant, Vol. V No. 43, 25 October 1941, p. 5.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
Two errors in proof-reading in the last issue of The Militant were so serious that they lost the sense of the thought intended, and therefore require correction.
In the important political resolution adopted by the Plenum-Active Workers Conference of the Socialist Workers Party in Chicago last week, printed on page 3 of our Oct. 8 issue, the following corrections should be made:
Under point No. 6. the word italicized in the sentence “The party which aims at the conquest of power ... cannot operate with casual members and dilettante members,” should be changed to read “leaders”.
Under point No. 13, where the sentence now reads “Only our program explains to the perplexed Stalinist workers ... how Stalin beheaded the Red Army and left the Soviet Union leaders in industry and agriculture,” the word “leaderless” should be substituted for the word “leaders”.
The staff of The Militant is working under obvious handicaps, with some of its members immobilized in Minneapolis because of the trial. But it promises to take every safeguard in the future against such errors, which have appeared too often in our paper in recent weeks.
