The Vice President of the United States, Walter Mondale, will be visiting New Zealand sometime in early April.
He is here primarily to 'cement' New Zealand—American relations so we will be well and truly under the wing of US foreign policy.
Muldoon is selling out New Zealanders by inviting Mondale, making us more dependent on America both militarily and economically.
Students against Imperialism is intending to run a campaign to get a broad section of students and others involved in the protests.
We don't want the Yanks and we don't want the Russians. The campaign against Mondale must put forward the need for New Zealand to have its own foreign policy and to be able to develop an economy which is unaffected by the whims of the big powers.
The organising meeting is in the Lounge at 12 noon Thursday 23 March. If you are interested in this issue and wish to help in some way, please come to our meeting.
