The U.N. Security Council, which is do minated by the U.S., is expected not to adopt

Fellow Canadians: Do not be
misled by the statements of
the Diefenbaker government
and the Liberals and CCF MP’s
about the Paris Summit meet-
ing, or by the press propagan-
da barrage.

It is not Premier Khrush-
chev and the Soviet Union who
are responsible for the col-
lapse of this meeting, on which
Canadians placed such hopes.
It collapsed when the U.S. gov-
ernment’s scheme to use it as
a mask for its plans to provoke
war was exposed by Premier
Khrushchev and President

Eisenhower refused to repudi-
ate and condemn these plans.

The responsibility lies
squarely on the shoulders of
the government of the U.S.A.

and the U.S. military which
has the Eisenhower govern-
ment in its grip.

Since last September’s Camp
David meeting between Presi-
dent Eisenhower and Premier

Khrushchev, the U.S. govern-
ment has steadily reversed the
policy that President LEisen-
hower’ announced following
Premier Khrushchev’s visit to
the U.S.A. Thereby, a situa-
tion was created in which the
spy plane crisis was the break-
ing point.
