Vietnam adverts will continue

Salient Reporter

"There will be more adverts," says Mr. Roger Boshier, instigator of a full-page advertisement in this week's Listener condemning the New Zealand Vietnam policy.

"Signatures are still coming in," he told Salient. Invitations were sent to people throughout New Zealand to together express their opposition to the current New Zealand policy.

Over 400 prominent person call for the cessation of the bombing of North Vietnam, the withdrawal of New Zealand troops from Vietnam, and the immediate replacement of these combatant forces with extensive non-combatant humanitarian aid in South-East Asia

In a move which Mr. Boshier termed "incomprehensible." the Director-General of Broadcasting clamped down on the advertisement in its original form

It was addressed to the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives, but the Director-General ruled that it was unacceptable in this form, since it was his opinion that advertisements should not be addressed in this way.

Mr. Boshier says he believes this type of advertising long common overseas—has conider-able value. "People will set just how extensive and solidly based the rejection of this country's Vietnam policy is." he says
