now make their first appearance in book form and are indispensable in
any examination of James Connolly's role in both the 1916 rising and the
international Socialist movement. When the Irish Citizen Army rose in
arms against imperialism and imperialist war its members were not
actuated by romantic nationalism but by Connolly's profound Marxist
analysis of a situation which, in its essential aspects, is strictly
comparable with that existing to-day.

## LITTLE LENIN LIBRARY.

We have much pleasure in announcing an addition to the Little Lenin
Library which will be doubly welcome at this stage.

LENIN AND STALIN ON THE STATE. Cr.8vo. 48 pps. 6d.

The Marxist theory of the state must be known and understood by all
sincere socialists. Both Lenin and Stalin have developed the teaching
of Karl Marx on the state in relationship to the present time. This
volume of the Little Lenin Library is of the greatest importance.

## LITTLE STALIN LIBRARY.

For many years the Little Lenin Library has been one of our most
popular series. We believe that in making available selections from
Stalin's longer works in a new series which will be known as the Little
Stalin Library, we shall be meeting a very real need.

VOL. 1. FOUNDATIONS OF LENINISM. A reprint of important lectures
which have already been published in this country many times.

VOL. 2. NOTES OF A DELEGATE & CLASS & PARTY. These are two articles
written by Stalin in 1907 and are now published for the first time
in this country.

THREE FORTHCOMING BOOKS TO BE NOTED. Look out for further announcements of what are certain to be three best sellers.

OUR TIME by R. Palme Dutt. The problems of to-day in the light of 20 years.

CHOOSE YOUR FUTURE by D. N. Pritt, K.C., M.P.

BRITISH TRADE UNIONISM by Allen Hutt. No. 7 in the Marxist Textbook series.

Draft Letter to London Branches, Bookshops, etc.,

Dear Comrade,

## Literature Conference April 24th. 1938.

In order to develope the sales of literature through the
Bookshope and Party Branches, the Central Committee has set up a
Literature Commission, with Comrade Harry Pollitt as Chairman, which
is examining the position and making proposals to help development.

In conjunction with the Centre and London District Propaganda
Departments, the Literature Commission is organising a conference
on Sunday, April 24th, at the Islington Library (?) (exact particulars
to be added), 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Propaganda Secretaries and Literature Secretaries of all Party
Branches in London are being invited, and one representative from
each of the other Party Districts. In addition, we hope that
Literature Secretaries of Labour Parties, Trade Union Branches, and
Left Book Club Groups will come.

The agenda of the Conference will be:-

1. Opening statement by representative of Literature Commission.

2. Proposals for decentralising supplies of literature.

3. Report on publicity for new publications.

4. General discussion on the proposals, and suggestions.

There will be a charge of 3d per delegate, payable at the door.

Please let us know whether you can attend this important
Conference, and if not what other comrade can come in your place.

SUGGESTED ADVERTISING PROGRAMME FOR
"TRAITORS ON TRIAL", "SON OF THE PEOPLE", AND "DIMITROV".

These three books will probably not sell except through very sympathetic channels. Therefore this plan for sales covers the following markets.

The Party Branches.

The Left Book Club members in general.

The Left Book Club members known to us.

The Eye List, etc.

The Delegates to the Labour Party Conference.

The Delegates to the T.U. Congress.

The Delegates to the recent United Peace Conference.

The Bourgeois shops. Usual bulletin, etc.

The Party and sympathetic bookshops.

List of professional men in towns where there is a good Party shop.

Deputies and lawyers.

Workers Institutes throughout the country.

Public Libraries.

The general sympathetic public.

Daily Worker readers.

If it is at all possible, where the money will run to it, each book should be advertised separately so that the whole of the readers attention will be directed to the one book.

Over leaf are detailed the methods we suggest using to approach these markets and an approximate estimate of the cost.

This cost will include cost of note paper and postages.
