ON CEYLON
The Sixth World Congress, after having discussed the situation in Ceylon, states that it disapproves the political line adopted by the Lanka Sama Samaja Party following on the election defeat of March 1960.
The Congress condemns more especially the vote of parliamentary support expressed on the occasion of the Speech from the Throne, and the adoption of the budget by party's MPs.
The Fourth International does not exclude support for e adoption of progressive measures, even by a nationa urgeois or petty-bourgeois government in a colonial o semi-colonial country. But the social nature, composition, nd general programme of the Bandaranaike government does not justify the support which was accorded it
The World Congress appeals to the Lanka Sama Samaja Party for a radical change in its political course in the direction indicated by the document of the leadership of the International. The Congress is confident that the next National Conference of the L SSP, in whose political preparation the whole International must participate, will know how to all the political and organizational decisions necessary to overcome the crisis which was revealed following on the results of the March 1960 election campaign.
