Money

These intricate plans will obviously need money. At the moment two schemes are operating, but neither has been very successful, largely due to public apathy. They are: One, buying shares in the Cuba Bookshop Society Ltd. at $2 each. About 600 have been bought in 2½ years. Besides money, the Society concept was to allow ideas to filter up from below. This has failed. Of more interest to armchair radicals is the 10% reduction on book purchases and the planned Gestetner operation.

Three of the four signatories want to quit, so new blood is needed quickly. Two, a later idea is for a pledge system whereby people automatically give $2, $4, $6, $8 per month from their wages or incomes.

If you're interested in any of these ideas and want to help, get in touch with Resistance at Box 1126 Wellington, or better still wander into their shop in Willis Street (just down from the Dixon Street intersection on the left), perve over a few 'Young Lust' comics, and introduce yourself to the people.
