An attack on the Agency '!ould undoubtedly be considered a major coup within the radical movement. · • - The Weatherman events of past weeks, their lack of cooperation with other radical units and their vi~tual. disappcaT'ancr into the hippie and commune nether world indicates. an agreed-upon plan to foment ...

Although they have not defined exactly what they mean, New Mobe spokesnlen ha~e now verbalized a need. for civil disobedience and direct action. This widely discussed tactical change to do away with the J11'&SB protest philosophy by the New Mobe · • ··has tendc'd tq alienate its former comrade in dissent, the SWP,. who still believes in the value or the mass demonstration and hastens to point out. that Hanoi likes them too. ., . The SWP, through its youtt; group, the Young Socialist Alliance, has indeed built a formidable masB·.movernent body in the form of the ~-. SMC (Student Mobilization Committee to End the War in Vietnam). The - •... ::..- SWP undoubtedly sees its organization work within the SMC subverted by its .former New Mobe associates. .The SWP achUtionally takes umbrage - at the seemingly sincere bttt misgltided motives of sevetal New Mobe organizations to work lor peace candidates through the summer and into the fall. The SWP does not believe that such method~ are the road to .. American revolution. To further .c:ompl.icate the serious rifts and tn-!ighting amon.g the organizations of the radical left, the Maoist Progressive Labor Party . and the SWP1s Student Mobe have recently battled in Boston. It will be remembered-that last summer the PLP !action nf SDS split away at Chicago and formed the SDS Worker Student Alliance.
