Solidarity Subscriptions This magazine is too expensive for readers in many countries. For many political prisoners, International Viewpoint is the only link to the socialist movement outside the prison walls. Until recently, we have been able to distribute one third of our print tun to these activists and prisoners. Bu our current financial difficulties have forced us to reduce the number o magazines we distribute free to the bare minimum. You can help! As soon as we receive contributions marked "solidarity subscription" equal to a six month or one year subscription, we add another solidarity reader to our mailing list. And if you wish, we will inform him or her of your solidarity. i form him or horof vour colidarity 36 International Viewpoint #265 April 1995
