MONTREAL - Issue no. 5 of the French-language Marxist magazine Nouvelle Internationale is hot off the press and ready to be promoted, sold, and studied internationally - from Montreal to Port-au-Prince, and from Paris to Beirut.

This new issue of the magazine is a powerful weapon for working-class and young fighters around the world who are trying to understand the growing economic instability of the world capitalist system, and to learn how to resist its effects on working people.

It features three important articles: "Defending Cuba, Defending Cuba's Socialist Revolution" by Mary-Alice Waters; "Imperialism's March toward Fascism and War" by Jack Barnes; and "What the 1987 Stock Market Crash Foretold," a resolution adopted in 1988 by the Socialist Workers Party in the United States. Also included is "The Curve of Capitalist Development," a 1923 article by Russian revolutionary leader Leon Trotsky.

The publication of this new issue of Nouvelle Internationale has been possible thanks to the work of an international team of volunteers working over the last year in Miami, Montreal, Paris, and Toronto.

These volunteers are auto, garment, aircraft, and other workers, as well as students and other youth who devoted their spare time to help translate, edit, proofread, and lay out the magazine. Others helped to set up computer and software equipment, which enabled the editorial team based in Montreal to do the final editing here.

With the publication of Nouvelle Internationale no. 5, the articles it contains are now available in English, French, Spanish, and Swedish in various editions of New International. The four-language magazine is distributed by Pathfinder Press.

Distributors in France have already sold more than 30 copies of the new issue of Nouvelle International as part of a pre-publication special offer they launched a few months ago.

Carole Caron is a member of the International Association of Machinists in Montreal and production manager of Nouvelle Internationale.
