—Zilly speaks
The new Government has had to devote considerable energy to economic problems that it inherited from its Tory forerunner.
It is, also, becoming clear that the former Government had helped to create a very difficult position on defence and foreign affairs. There is a very clear link between economic policy and foreign affairs, and CND has always maintained that no British Government could ever launch an amb‘tious programme of social reform and, at the same time, retain the tremendous arms bill which has increased year by year.
In order to provide the opportunity to discuss these matters we have convened a special conference, which will take the form of an open discussion forum.
Mr. Konni Zilliacus, M.P. for Manchester (Gorton) has kindly agreed to open the discussion and it is hoped that a number of other M-P.s will be able to take part.
The forum will be at the Milton Hall, Deansgate, Manchester, on Saturday, 6th February at 2.30 p.m. There will be no charge for admission, and the forum will end at about 5.30 p.m.
It would be appreciated if you would draw the attention of your members to this opportunity to hear about and to discuss this vital area of policy, upon which our future depends.
