From The New International, Vol. XXIV No. 1, Winter 1958, pp. 49–58.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
Theodore Draper’s Reply to Max Shachtman and Shachtman’s rebuttal – both appearing in this issue – stem from an article written by Max Shachtman: American Communism: A Re-Examination of the Past, published in the Fall 1957 issue of The New International. Those who have not yet read this earlier article – which includes a review of Draper’s book, The Roots of American Communism – are urged to do so. The problems raised in Shachtman’s article are important ones which deserve thoughtful consideration and comment from thinking socialists and historians.
Other discussion material has been received but cannot be printed in this issue because of space considerations. It will be printed,however, in succeeding issues.
