Britain Fears Sweep Of Eastern Epidemic LONDON (CF) - The British Medical Research Council said to- day "it is likely" the new form of influenza sweeping the Far East will spread to Britain and contin- ental Europe. British specialists were working around the clock at the world in- fluenza centre in London to find a iaccins capable of fighting the dis- ease - a new strain of influenza virus A. There are two main types of influenza - viruses A and B-of which the former generally gives rise to epidemics. The spokesman said specimens of the new strain were flown here from the Far East in mid-May. The epidemic first appeared in none Kons AQP AND sands were stricken. 216 DEATHS us epidemic deaths have been reported from the Phil- ippines. 21 have died in Bombay and to in Calcutta.

A health ministry spokesman said no special instructions had yet been issued to port and air- port medical officers. although they would check passengers ar- riving from the Far East in the normal course of their duties. "it is essentially true that one cannot stop these things." he said. British newspapers warned read crs to take precautions - espe- cially rest - as soon as they feel a headache or run a h fever.

But the party attached tough conditions and political observers said it bu put the 80-yearold Pllimlln la a difficult spot. The vote by the council was reported to be 2.464 to 1.011, with 298 ab- stentionl. The Soclalists' to-page rcsoluiion opposed the idea of a national government excluding the Commu- nist and Poujadlst groups as advo- cated by Pfllmlin. They demanded the carrying out of Moiiet's polio- lea. if Pflimlln had got a "no" from the Socialists he would have had to tell President Rene Coty that he was unable to form a govern- meni. SOCIALIITI DOUBTFUL The government of Moilot was defeated on a vote of confidence is days ago. The French political crisis is likely to drag on for many more days unless the so- cialists overcome their reluctance defeated on a vote of confidence 1: days ago. The French political crisis is likely to drag on' for clalists overcome their reluctance to be associated with a Catholie led government. The Socialist national council met in suburban Puteau to study Pfiimlln's "action program to save Algeria and the franc." There was a strong current of senti- ment against joining Pflimlin's coalition. Moiiet, who headed France's longest-lived government since the War. spoke in "moderate but vague" terms. Pflimlin has leaned over hack- wards to meet th " ' " i in his ,the village school and be arm around shaking hands with them. One of those who wished him luck there was B2-year-old Mrs. Bessie Hilts. a long-time Consen- ative supporter. . At Mahone Bay Mr. Diefenbak talked from. the base of the town's war memorial to about 250 people. At Lunenburg one of those who lreeted Mr. Diefenbaker was 15- year-old Angus Waiters, skipper of the racing schooner Bluennse when she had the speed championship of Atlantic fishing vessels. At the Lunenburg meeting Mr. Diefenr baker said a main purpose of his party is to see that there is equal- ization oi opportunity for Maritim- ers in relation to the people ol other parts of Canada.

At Mahone Bay he told about 250 people that "I want to see your sons and daughters stay in the Maritirnes rather than migrate because they cannot get their proper share of the economy in this area." He was referring to the sugges- tion of the royal commission on Canada's economic yiospecta that there might have to be a migra- tion of some Maritimers to central Canada. "I want to see that all Cana- dians get their share." he said. "That is the abiding purpose oi my life." SHERBILOOKE ' W. T.

During the same period the cost of living has increased until it has rea ch ed the highest point in the history of this country. This increase affects our old age pensions rs as well as every other person in Canada - - - in fact, much more so. WHAT HAS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DONE TO AS- SIST THE OLD AGE PENSIONERS TO KEEP UP WITH THE RISING COST OF LIVING? At the last session of Parliament the Government increased the old age pension by the meagre and niggardly sum of 20 cents per day, and this was only done as a result of strong and continuous pressure from the Opposition. THAT sort or TREATMENT MUST STOP! Under the social security system now in operation in the United States, the aver- age monthly benefit paid to a widow without dependents is S65.00; to a retired worker without dependents is S76.00; and to a retired worker with a wife is Sl28.00. A PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT Will immediately set up a commission to examine what can be done to introduce a social security system, similar to the American system, here in Canada. Until such system can be put in operation, the present old age pension will be in- creased to not less than S60.00 per month to compensate for the rise in the cost of living. If the cost of living should rise still further, the pension will be increased accordingly.
