From Fourth International, Vol.9 No.1, January-February 1948, p.2.
Transcription & mark-up: Einde O’Callaghan for ETOL.
Militant Sub Week, while producing 619 subscriptions for The Militant, also netted a score of new and renewal subs for Fourth International, mainly from Detroit, Minneapolis, St. Paul, New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Philadelphia.
It is practically routine for many long-time readers to renew both subs together, even when they expire at different times. The weekly paper and the magazine are usually considered a perfect team that belong together.

Alex M. of British Columbia renewed for both periodicals.
“Let me take this opportunity to say keep up the good work both these publications are doing. We, here in Canada, will endeavor to keep pace with our Labor Challenge.”
* * *
Among nearly 100 Fourth Internationals that go to India every issue, three have been going to Ahmedabad for nearly a year. This week we received two new subs from that northernmost city of Bombay Province.

From G.D. in Scotland:
“Please note my new address. I shall be grateful if you will continue to send your publications, as my friends all look forward eagerly to your articles and factual material on international events.”
* * *
C.R. in Minnesota has sent for a second or duplicate subscription, “beginning with the November-December issue, which I already have, but I want another copy to circulate among interested friends.”
* * *
Within four weeks after the November-December issue was mailed, 62 new and renewal subscriptions had been received, including a dozen from foreign countries: England, Scotland, Argentina, India, Canada.
* * *
Newark Branch of the Socialist Workers Party sold out its usual bundle of the last issue in two weeks and sent for 10 more. Los Angeles also ordered 10 more, reporting “sales are very good.”

Fourth International readers are a unique group in that they rarely permit their subscriptions to lapse. They don’t want to miss a single issue and they renew promptly when notified their subscriptions are about to expire. Indeed the majority renew well in advance. Scores have done so in recent weeks.
Only 57 subscriptions in the United States and three in foreign countries are expiring with this issue (whole number 83). The expiration number appears with the address in nearly all cases, so readers can determine in advance how long before they should renew. If the number on your wrapper is F84, your sub will expire with the next issue; F85 the following issue, etc.

Most Fourth International readers are anxious for this magazine to return to monthly publication. Every effort in this direction is being made. Here are four ways you can help:
- Send a donation for this special purpose.
- Renew your subscription even if it isn’t quite expired.
- Get a friend (or several friends) to subscribe.
- Give a subscription to a friend or relative.

A Cleveland Militant reader sent for the last issue of Fourth International and asked if the October and December, 1946, and February and March, 1947, issues were available. Nearly all past issues are available, at 25c each back to 1944 and 40c up for 1943 and older.

A friend in New Zealand also sends a request for literature. He writes:
“As it is necessary to get a permit to send money out of this country, and owing to the shortage of dollar exchange, I have been unable to send a subscription to you. Perhaps at some future date I may be able to do so. If it is possible for you to send Fourth International and The Militant to me, I will be very grateful. I do not expect you to be a philanthropic institution, as I realize it must be a struggle to keep a magazine and working class paper going. However, I will send a sub when it is possible to obtain a permit to send money.”
The following back issues of New International are urgently needed for binding:

If you have one or more copies of any issue listed above, will you please send them to Fourth International, 116 University Place, New York 3, N.Y.
