Commonwealth Nudge
(N.Z Press Assn—Copyright) LONDON, March 6. The Royal Commonwealth Society has formed a new group to put forward practical ideas to develop the Commonwealth. The group, called Nudge, has a committee of six, including the chairman of the Campaign Against Racial Discrimination, Dr. David Pitt. The time had come for
the Commonwealth to publicise itself, and to create a special department to handle publications, said a report published today by Nudge. “There is a desperate gap which must be filled if the Commonwealth is to develop and to be understood by its peoples. “The Commonwealth
has suffered too much in the last few years from bad publicity and the
lack of constructive material.”
The first problem Nudge will handle is the cutback in Commonwealth publications because of a reduction in British spending. This had caused a reduction of the Englishlanguage magazine “Commonwealth Today” to four issues a year, and the extinction of all its vernacular editions.
