Russell And Northey In Support

Support for CRAFT has come from Dr. J. F. Northey. Professor of Public Law at AU and father of the Auckland President, who has described the idea as "representing a genuine reaction by the ordinary man in the street to a serious situation," and from Bertrand Russell, who has sent the following message:

"The action by CRAFT to enter the zone intended for French nuclear tests deserves the world-wide support of all who are concerned for world peace. Nuclear testing kills, and the development of nuclear weapons imperils all mankind. I am very pleased to learn of the efforts being made in New Zealand and hope that they will continue and expand so that many forms of demonstrations, in addition to the courageous action being planned, will develop until the French abandon their plans."
