A Suggested Ballot

A Suggested Ballot.

An idea of the type of questions can be gained from the following draft ballot, which has been suggested and approved by the V.U.C. Anti-War Movement. It consists of ten questions:—

(Answer Yes or No.)

(1)Do you accept Mr. Forbes' statement, "If Britain is at war New Zealand is at war"?
(2)Do you regard New Zealand and British re-armament as a safeguard against war?
(3)Do you oppose repressive legislation which forms a part of war preparations (e.g., suppression of freedom of speech assembly, organisation)?
(4)Do you oppose service overseas?
(5)Do you oppose service in New Zealand?
(6)Do you oppose auxiliary service (medical, administrative, industrial)?
(7)Would you delay your opposition until the outbreak of war?
(8)Is personal refusal of service sufficient without organised resistance?
(9)Are you in favour of strikes to prevent war?
(10)If strikes fail, will you resist war by force?

Suggestions and criticisms are wanted. Leave a note in the rack for Secretary, Peace Ballot Committee.
