For Frodo

A spectre is haunting Middle-earth: the spectre of the Fellowship.
All the Powers of old Middle-earth have entered into a holy alliance to
exorcise this spectre: Wizard and King, Saruman and Mordor,
French Radicals and German police-spies.

Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as
the Fellowship by its opponents in power? Where is the Opposition
that has not hurled back the branding reproach of the Fellowship,
against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against
its reactionary adversaries?

Two things result from this fact.

I. The Fellowship is already acknowledged by all Middle-earth Powers
to be itself a Power.

II. It is high time that the Fellowship should openly, in the
face of the whole world, publish its views, its aims, its
tendencies, and meet this nursery tale of the Spectre of
the Fellowship with a Manifesto of the party itself.

To this end, Fellows of various nationalities have
assembled in Rivendell, and sketched the following Manifesto, to be
published in the English, French, German, Italian, Flemish, Elvish and
Danish languages.
