A.N.Z.U.S. link hit
PA Auckland A renewed Labour Party commitment to the A.N.Z.U.S. defence pact has come under fire from the leader of the Values Party, Mrs Margaret Crozier. A statement in support of the pact by the Labour spokesman on defence, Mr M. A. Connelly, was a backward step and showed democracy did not exist in the Labour Party, she said.. ' Mrs Crozier called upon the Labour Party to endorse a call to withdraw from the pact made at its
recent annual conference. “The Values Party believes that. a policy . of non-alignment. and withdrawal from A.N.Z.U.S. is the only moral and practical course for New Zealand to follow,” Mrs Crozier said. “Leaving A.N.Z.U.S. would free us from the global gang-warfare situation that such pacts encourage ad would enable New Zealand to exercise real political leadership to help solve worldwide problems in a way that the superpowers, being locked into their rigid standpoints, cannot do.”
