Anyone who says that CND is dead will be proved a liar this Raster. The fact remains that no other organisation or campaign can bring the people out on the streots by their thousands as can the anti—-mclear weapons campaign. Not even the most fanatical supporter of CND, on the other hand, would deny that the movement is suffering from confusion and lack of direction. There are no simple remedies to this malady. It is very easy to say (and impossible to refute) that if all the acti-~ vists of CND were active members of the Labour Party the battle for a unilateralist Labour Party would easily be won. To translate this almost mathematically exact formula into political reality is no easy task. CND won its mass support and its particular character from by-passing of traditional and routine methods of political action, It appealed directly to people to do something themselves unhindered the political machines of the traditional parties, Hence the strong resistance to the formula of fighting through the Labour Party.
Indeed the formula of fighting for unilateralism through the Labour Party is meaningless unless it is explained that the fight against nuclear ..destruction is a fight to change the social system, and that the point in joining the Labour Party is use the Labour Party as a @evice for changing the social system. “hat is needed is the integration of the two wings: those who are determined to be straitjacketted by politidans with those who see the futility of merely protesting against the most extreme evil of the system. From this point of view we will make two simple calks (1) all out for a maximum turn-out for the Haster demonstrations; and (2) maximum support and publicity for the Labour Party CND Committee, which would in our opinion be the ideal vessel to contain the two tendencies.
