Our aim is to show that the class struggle is international. The meeting will not be confined just to members of the Fourth International. The affair will reflect the struggle that is going on throughout the world and its interconnections.

Just as much as when Marx and Engels wrote the famous slogan "Workers of all countries unite!" and just as much as when the Fourth International was founded, if not more today there is a need for a revolutionary workers'

International. Today, we are seeing that even parties that call themselves so cialist are proposing nationalist solutions to the crisis.

There will also be entertainment during the day, but mainly in the evening, during the "International Festival Against Racism." We chose this theme for the festival because the anti-racist struggle is one of the most urgent questions today and an effort must be made to give a concrete expression to

Internationalism.

Tariq Ali, a Pakistani revolutionist, will speak at the festival. The hall Is very big but our Swedish comrades alone expect to bring a couple of hundred people. Likewise, we expect delegations from Norway and West Germany. Besides that, we expect many people from the Danish left. There is room for about a thousand people. This will be the first affair of this type for a long time, attend-
