Buenos Aires, Tokyo et New York ,bientot, Jes etudes sont reprises et repcrcutees. C'est la une « extension» qui merite une attention particuliere, car elle ouvre la perspective recherchee : sortir d e notre ghetto. Enfin, sur le plan de la presentation, des amelioration s seront progressivement introduites, pour rendre la lecture p lus alsee. Ainsi, l'effort se poursuit. Car ii importe qu'au terme de cette premiere mise en formc, prevue pour une duree de deux ans, la releve, deja assuree, puisse benelicier des experiences initlales. STRIKING OUR FIRST BALANCE The aims defined in the first number of this review commensurated with our needs; the four first numbers of this review gauge our capacities and our means ... A meeting in Geneva (Switzerland) of the workers a nd contributors of Interrogations has stressed that we ought not forget our initial aims, which remain imperative: we must make every endeavor for a better knowledge and use of our means o f direct Information, research and thought, and a better use of o ur possibilities of organization. The remarks, criticisms and suggesti ons of many of our readers lent color to those concern'>. Obviously, this review being issued every quarter with some 120 pages of text on the average and therefore about 500 pages a yr.ar cannot have offered all the studies and analysis of the present situation that a libertarian movement requires if it is to intervene usefully in the evolution and transformation of societies. Yet, what has been published is not negligible; partly and modestly, it corresponds to the programme laid down b y this review. For instance, in the matter of information, the text s on workers' management in Western Germany, on Argentinian gue rrillas, on the socio-political situation in Italy are strong, well-doc umented and original. We have begun a research on the themes that we hold dear, such as the State and the new ruling classes. A good theoretical contribution has been brought with the atte mpt to place the anarchist movements in a historical perspective bo th as natural products and as human wills. But much remains to b e done in the area of international politics and in the inventory of the forms of resistance to mobilization and manipulation by the mobilised and the manipulated. In fact, works related to a more or less remote past s eem to be more readily obtained than analyses of the phenomen a of present society or examples of action. This is a mark of the p resent poverty of the social currents of anarchism to serve as activ e and determinating elements. A decisive test will be seen in the cooperation to this adventure of researchers and observers, that is to say intellectuals and activists 4
