Appeal By Campaign
(N.Z Press Association) WELLINGTON, Sept 4. The Soviet’s decision to resume nuclear weapon testing was truly tragic, said the secretary of the New Zealand Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (Mrs K. M. Rose) in a statement forwarded today to the Soviet Charge d’Affaires (Mr N. Ivanov). She said she had asked him to send it on to Moscow.
The statement signed also by the president (Mr Neil G. Smith) and the vicepresident (Mr Robert Chapman), said. in part: “In the name of the great mass of families, here as elsewhere, who do not wish their children to be sickened by fallout, nor their lives cut off owing to the utter failure of Greet Power leadership, we appeal against the sentence passed on mankind. “Were the decision reversed before any nuclear devices were exploded, a great measure of hope would have been restored, without which man can only took towards death.”
