Hoy said that the "master intriguers of North-American imperialism have sought to speculate on the Cuban position concerning the treaty partially banning nuclear tests." The newspeper castigated these efforts and justified Cuba's abstaining from signing the pact, pointing to the "particular realities and concrete conditions" in which the Cuban Revolution finds itself.

"Cuba is in favor of peace, but the Cuban reality demands that this country, if it is not to be once again the victim of an open invasion, must nevertheless act in face of the infiltration, the parachuting. of arms, the pirate attacks and the most shameless espionage. "

Hoy stressed the effort of the Cuban ‘government to maintain friendly relations with both sides in the Sino-Soviet dispute: "Cuba wants to maintain its fraternal links with the whole socialist worid and will not permit itself to be estranged from this or that country that takes sides and this or that country that grants it solidarity and support."
