SMALL RISE IN SUPPORT
FOR NIGERIA
There is little change in public attitudes to the Gouvernement’s policy of supplyng arms to the Federal Higerians , according to a Gallup Poll carried out for
The Daiy Telegraph between Nov. 27 and Dec. 2.
Gallup asked : " In the present fighting between Nigeria and Biafra , Britain is supplying arms to Nigeria . Should we continue supplying armes or should we stop ? " Replies in percentages with figures for December last year are :
Today Dec. 1968
Continue 16 12
Stop 62 67
Don’t know 22 21
The marginal increase in the proportion who think Britain should continue to supply arms , and fall in the proportion who want the to stop , is due mainly to changes among Conservative
and Liberal supporters .
