Moratorium

It has been proposed that a National Moratorium Committee be set up to oppose the war in Indo-China.

A teach-in on the war was held at Waikato University on 6 and 7 June. Those present passed a resolution advocating the setting-up of the Committee, and the organisation of demonstrations by it to coincide with 4 July Moratorium Day in the United States, Australia, Britain etc.

The Interim Organiser, Rex Dunn of Auckland, hopes that mass demonstrations on 4 July will encourage many sympathetic people, hitherto inactive, to march.

Mr Dunn has suggested that the proposed committee should establish a Central Committee which would be responsible for organising demonstrations, establishing common tactics and policy, relations with the National Moratorium Committee, and making press statements.
