NUCLEAR TESTS CONDEMNED
Statement By F.O.L. Council
The resumption of nuclear tests, with their consequent danger to mankind from radioactive fall-out, was condemned at a meeting of the Christchurch district council of the Federation of Labour. “In the interests of mankind all nations should cease these tests. We view with abhorence nuclear tests which make no contribution to the desire of people to live in peace with their neighbours,” says a statement from the council.
‘The council not only condemns these tests but calls on the leaders of all nations to work tor complete and general disarmament. The pro-duction-of weapons of war serves no useful purpose, and the production effort involved could be put to greater use to raise the standard of living in under-developed countries.”
