North—YYest Region CND hold its AGM on February lst. There was a very good turn out — 170 — and £31 was collected. Peggy Duff said that CND was going through a rather difficult period after the relaxation of international tonsion. She made it clear that CND was not going to make a pact with the L.P. during election year. CND and the L.P. had fundamentally different views on NATO. She warned the Labour left that if they kept quiet on defence issues now they would be voiceless in a Labour Government. She saw CND as a revolutionary movement, challenging basic ideas on defence. CND's General Glection plans were announced.
