The New International, December 1941

 

Editor’s Note

 

From The New International, Vol. VII No. 11, December 1941, p. 290.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.

 

With this issue we begin the publication of two series of articles, one in the Archives section and the other a timely study on the subject of modern imperialism. Both articles, the one by Leon Trotsky on the crisis in the Right-Center bloc, and the other by Gregory Zinoviev on Imperialism, will continue in the next issue. These are important contributions and their publication is part of The New International policy of regularly reproducing the best contributions of the great thinkers of the world socialist movement, especially those studies which have not hitherto appeared in the English language.

Another feature in the next issue of the magazine will be a review of the economic situation in 1941 and the prospects for the war year 1942. This article, by Albert Gates, will discuss the main developments on the economic front, the prospects of the proletariat under the war economy and impending problems facing the classes in the nation.

Max Shachtman is completing his long delayed article on The Theory of Bureaucratism. The main theme of this article is to demonstrate how bureaucratism develops as an inherent characteristic of class society. Special reference will be made to the New Deal, Germany and the Soviet régime.

Other articles on the war, special topics of American interest and book reviews will complete the issue.
