From Socialist Worker, No. 126, 12 June 1969, p. 3.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’ Callaghan for the Encyclopaedia of Trotskyism On-Line (ETOL).
EAMONN McCANN was correct to state (June 5) that I, not he, contributed that part of the amalgamated article which called upon socialists in the southern part of Ireland to demand that the Green Tory government arm Derry.
To remove possible confusion, could you explain where the heading on the letter came from?
Comrade McCann stated that it was ‘not a demand I would raise’. Fair enough. Where then did you get the heading ‘Derry – the wrong demand’?
I don’t subscribe to the notion that the sacredness of democracy is best guaranteed when the bourgeoisie is armed to the teeth and the workers unarmed.

THE EDITOR COMMENTS: The headline lacked an essential question mark.
