stood for all these years.
n am proud to say that l have

concluded. "This is the only party
that is today carrying on the fight

in the old socialist party used to
fight for. 1t is really carrying the
banner of our great leader, Karl

down here in the South the
Communist Party bravely took the
lead in the struggle against the ex-
ploitation in the mills and planta-
