Description
A page from "The Globe and Mail" from April 10, 1963. The first article, written by Walter Gray and entitled, "Liberal Strategists Anticipate Finishing 3 Short of Majority," details how Lester Pearson's Liberal Party was projected to fall three seats short of a majority government in the House of Commons with 130 seats. The article then goes on to explain the likely coalition that would occur between the Liberals and T. C. Douglas' New Democratic Party, who held seventeen seats and pledged to support the party who won the most seats (provided said party commits themselves to a program of economic measure to "get the country moving again"). In addition to this, the article reports on Pearson's plan to put together an all party defense committee to formulate a defense policy, particularly regarding the issue of whether or not Canada should acquire nuclear weapons.
Another article, from the New York Times Service and entitled, "U.S.-Soviet Hot Line Discussed at Geneva," describes how U.S. and Soviet negotiators had a preliminary discussion on a planned hotline between Washington D.C. and Moscow to reduce the risk of accidental war. The two main delegates were Charles C. Stelle of the U.S. and Semyon K. Tsarapkin of the Soviets.
The last major article, written by Theodore Shabad and entitled, "Red Policy Body To Hold Talks On Art, Ideology," details how the Communist Party’s policy-making Central Committee would hold a general session on May 28, 1963, to, "discuss ways of imposing tighter ideological controls in the arts, literature, education and mass communications." This session was called in response to nonconformist painters and sculptors refusing to fall in line with the Communist Party's ideology, and how the repercussive measures the party was taking were not adequate in ensuring "complete ideological loyalty." The article ends with acknowledging suggestions that the Communist Party may be seeking to exercise better cultural control by merging the artistic and literary unions into one, with such a suggestion being made by prominent writer and literary critic Aleksander Chakovsky.
Other articles on this page include, "Communications Cut by Storm In Maritimes," "Lazy Thyroids Present Risk, Doctor Says," "4 Whoopers Fly to Canada, U.S. Reports," "Woman Injured By Speeding Car," "Woolley Still Ailing," "Rebel Gives Up; Argentine Mob Stones Soldiers," and, "Liberal Applies For Recount."
