llmmigrant Flow Tripled y Over Same Period In '56

l OTTAWA (CF)-Immigration to icanada in the first three months of 1957 soared to more than three times the total for the Lua spand- IHH period a year ago.

Between Jan. 1 and March 31 arrivals rose to 62.425. compared wiLh 18.963 in 1056. By July i it pected that the total for the first six months of the year will be between 160.000 and 170,000. at against 09.938 for the first half of last year.

An immigration department of- ficial described as terrific the in- crease for the first three months of the year. He said the bulk of the 62,425 arrivals was made up of immigrants from the United King- dom and Hungarian refugees.

It also is expected here that the total number of Hungarian refu- gee arrivals will be between 30.- 000. So far this year the total is 25.000.

NO CEILING 0N ARRIVALS

The government previously said it would accept up to at least 28.- 000 Hungarian refugees but would place no ceiling on arrivals. In February. immigration depnrtr ment officials anticipated total im- migration this year would be ap- proximately 110.000.

The arrival of 200,000 or more immigrant. this year would be the largest number in any one year since 1913 when a record 400.870 arrived. Arrivals last year totalled 164,857 and the post - war record was 194,391 in 1051.

France To Ask Fresh U.N. Talks

On Canal Issue

PARIS (Reuters)-France plans a "last appeal" before the United Nations Security Council for fresh Suez negotiations between Egypt and canal user nations.

French officials said the deci- sion Wednesday night to take the Suez issue to the Security Council meant France would demand a ca- nal settlement in accord with the six UN principles of last Oct. 13.

They said Foreign Minister Christian Pinesu would go to New York for the " session Mon- dap afternoon and ask the coun- cil to invite Egypt to start new negotiations with the canal users.

British Foreign Secretary Sel- wyu Lloyd told the House of Com- mona Thursday that Britain sup- ports the French move for a curity Council debate.
