Sabotage . .
Sabotage . . .
As one can well imagine all these activities necessitated a steady revenue. The congress decided to ask all affiliated bodies to contribute six-pence per head per year to finance the work of I.U.S. N.Z.U.S.A. has not yet contributed a penny in this way, although we have been affiliated for over two years. And then N.Z.U. S.A. has the temerity to say that I.U.S. has done nothing in New Zealand. Victoria has urged that our debt to I.U.S. be paid. Auckland alone has supported us. The other colleges claim extreme poverty. Along with this policy of not paving our debts to I.U.S.. N.Z.U.S.A. has, by inactivity, failed to let the students of New Zealand know what I.U.S. is, and what it is doing. The logical result of this policy has been that the delegates to N.Z.U.S.A. have disaffiliated from an organisation about which they knew nothing and which had scarcely bothered to investigate.
