In the golden age of Canadian diplomacy, during the government of Louis St Laurent and Lester Pearson, Escott Reid played a central role. In this memoir, he recalls some of the most dramatic events of the twentieth century and his own and Canada's role in them. Reid's' child was steeped in Anglican religiosity and Upper Canadian Britishness. But as a teenager at Oakwood Collegiate and later as a university student at Toronto and Oxford, he showed…

Canada and the Struggle against World Poverty
A revolution in Canadian foreign policy took place from 1948 to 1951. 1 was privileged to be one of the makers of the revolution. I was Lester Pearson's senior adviser in the Department of External Affairs for most of the time on most of the issues. That revolution established new priorities in Canadian foreign policy. It brought Canadian foreign policy up to date. By bringing its foreign policy up to date Canada helped bring the foreign policies…

Canadian Foreign Policy, 1967 1977 a Second Golden Decade
I believe that Canada could undertake during the next ten years two crucially important creative tasks in world affairs. I believe that if Canada were to undertake these tasks the next ten years could become a golden decade in Canadian foreign policy, comparable to the great decade of 1941 to 1951. I can hear some Canadians saying, Why should we bother about taking creative action in world affairs? We have enough problems arising out of day-by-da…

The Birth of the North Atlantic Alliance
The ideas which led to the discussions in 1948 of the possibility of a North Atlantic alliance started coming to the surface in the summer of 1947. One reason was a desire to head off a campaign which was gathering strength in the United States, Britain, Canada and other countries for amending the United Nations Charter to exclude the great power veto over sanctions and other matters even though this would mean driving the Soviet Union and the Ea…

Nehru
Nehru dominates the scene in India. India today is Nehru's India. He has been a leader of India for thirty-five years. For sixteen years before independence came in 1947, he was second only to Gandhi in the eyes of the Indian people. Since Gandhi's death in 1948 he has been second to no one. When Patel was alive, Nehru had to share power with him. Since Patel's death seven years ago, Nehru has reigned supreme. No one since Napoleon has both playe…

The Canadian Election of 1935—and After
On October 14, 1935, the Conservative party, which had been in power in Canada since the general election of July, 1930, was resoundingly defeated. The Conservatives had carried 137 seats in 1930. In 1935 their numbers were reduced to 40. The 93 Liberal seats of 1930 were increased in 1935 to 179—a majority of 113 in a house of 245. Such a majority is without precedent in Canadian history. Even the Unionist government in the war election of 1917 …

The Effect of the Depression on Canadian Politics, 1929-32
The war and the ensuing economic depression aroused divisive forces in Canadian life which only occasionally lie dormant-the forces of race, religion, occupation, and section. No patriotic speech delivered in English-speaking Canada from 1917 to 1922 was complete without a ringing declaration that the war had made Canada a nation. Actually, by the time of the conscription election of 1917, the war had made Canada two nations, one nation speaking …
