Ted Knight alleges that on the door Andrew Hornung 'waved through' Socialist Urganisel supporters. Andrew Hornung alleges that the conterenc was "packed' WRP If Hornung's SUDDUELCES. allegation is true, and our considered Judgement that Knight probably did mobilise Labour Herald an e WRP supporters in some strength, then this of course was incorrect and a breach WOrKerS democracy which we condemn. SOCIALIST CHALLENGE makes two accusations against Andrew Hornung and Socialist Organiser. First that they irresponsibly split the Labour Committee on Palestine at its founding conference, thus creating a disastrous situation where there are now two Labour movement campaigns on this question. Second that engage in a muckraking, irresponsible and scandalous campaign addition to making it extremely difficult now to build any campaign on Palestine, bordering on red baiting against Ted Knight and Labour Herald journalist Penny Cole.
But the essential queston is this: do you light sectarian stupidity sectarianism. and breaches of workers democracy by walking out? This has to be judged concretely, and ritualistic formulae and lawyer's Andrew Hornung and Socialist Organiser have to answer: what would have been changed, what was at stake, by accepting the ex delegations to the COHECICHICC. CYCl protest? As far as we could see, and Andrew Hornung does nothing to dispel our assumptions on this, there were but two.
First, would be political platform OT LCP. Second, who would be the officers of Hor Lung believe she st- LCP. On the first, gerate the differences between the platform proposed by him and the one adopted - in other words that the passage on the reactionary Arab states "just reference. Even effect his argument is that there was not a substantive political difference.
Second, and we think this is the question which Hornung, Greenstein and SO thought was decisive should Hornung and Greenstein be the secretary and chairperson of the LCP?
In our view the question of the officers was not a crucial question for a small labour movement campaign just getting go ing. We in any case would have backed Ted for of leading posts because he is the per son with credibility and support the labour movement who has done most to raise the issue of Palestine.
There was no question of preventing dornung and Greenstein being on the steering committee. In the event, single member of the WRP was proposed for or accepted on to the steering committee of the LCP.
But Hornung and To fight Zionism we must overcome sectarianism Greenstein were they wanted to ensure that they were the otticers. and solit the committee when looked as if they would not be. They should have stayed in the and accepted nomination to the steering committee, rather, than splitting and throwing the campaign inKnight to disarray.
