Scope and content
Audio recording consists of speeches and related forum questions at a public forum in Canada (Ottawa?) in post-WWII period. Speaker refers to this as the “post-McCarthy era”. The MC notes that the “CND” founders are on a speaking tour in the U.S., so it is possible this recording is a component of that tour. Speeches appear to be by Canon L. John Collins & Diana Collins who were both organizers of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, an organization founded in 1958, which by 1960 was the largest mass movement in Britain. The CND organizers included philosopher Bertrand Russell, and chair of the Campaign was Canon L. John Collins and his wife Diana Collins. John & Diana Collins speak on the state of protest groups for nuclear disarmament in Britain, U.S. and Canada. The end of forum includes a political motion that the campaign for nuclear disarmament in Canada will renew itself to approach politicians to oppose arms development in Canada whether at home or abroad.
