Salient: Victoria University Students' Paper. Vol. 28, No. 9. 1965.

[introduction]

The American public has been served sugar-coated snowballs by its leaders for the last 25 years.

This is one of the more interesting claims made in a pamphlet issued by New Zealand's new ultra-right organisation, Co-Resistance.

"General Eisenhower's buddy, Russian general Zhukov, said 'Co-existence is as nonsensical as fried snowballs,'" the pamphlet says, and then goes on to make the statement quoted above.

The Co-Resistance movement has its headquarters in Dunedin, and first came to prominence earlier this year.

It sent some of its literature to an Otago University staff-member who had an unjustified reputation of being a Communist. Fifty-odd students descended on the next meeting of Co-Resistance.

"It was rather funny, really," one of the students involved later told Salient. Only four Co-Resistance people attended the meeting, and were swamped by the huge majority of students.

The Co-Resistance pamphlet was sent to Salient by one J. A. Cameron, whom more thorough readers may remember has indulged in a long correspondence with Salient since an article linking a Social Credit group and the John Birch Society earlier this year.

It is not clear whether Mr. Cameron agrees or disagrees with the pamphlet. Interestingly, it includes an offer of the "No Co-existence" booklet which prompted the initial Social Credit article, and subscriptions to the "Social Crediter"—from which the pamphlet came.
