Martin, largely relating to political developments in the Republic of Spain from a Trotskyist perspective. The collection also includes printed ephemera in Spanish distributed by Spanish Leftist groups. Also included are sixteen folders of material compiled for "special issues" of , an internal bulletin of the Workers Party (U.S.), Left Wing Group. The bulletins reproduce documents relating to predecessor organizations, including the Communist League of America, and discussions pertaining to the formation of the Fourth International; correspondence in these files includes two 1933 letters to Oehler from James P.
