    .C_.W.,15 SEVENTH MEETING OF THE EXECUTIVE C_ITTEE INDEXED PAN AMERICAN SANITARY OP_ANIZATION Washington, D. C. May 23-30, 1949 TOPIC XI. PROPOSAL OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE PAN AMERICAN SANITARY BUREAU REGARDI_ A PROGIL_M FOR COOPERATION OF THE BUREAU IN THE ERADICATION OF SMALLPOX IN THE AMERICAS I. BACKGROUND The general situation with regard to smallpox in the Western Henflsphere has deteriorated in recent _ars. The official incidence reported in the American Republics, which amounted to some 7,400 cases in 1946, has increased alarmingly to 18,000 cases in 1947 and more than 24,000 in 1948. The disease has occurred recently in several of the most im- portant cities of the Americas and in many international airports and seaports, constituting a menace not only to the countries where it prevails but also to the neighboring countries and the rest of the world in general. Quarantine regulations fail to provide sufficient protection to prevent the spread of the disease, and outbreaks of imported origin have recently taken place in Chile (19&4); Uruguay (19&6-47); New York City (March-April 1947); Trinidad (May-June 1948) and Cuba (March 1949). Preventive measures for combating smallpox are well t,_own and provide excellent results. The disease has a definite incubation period and diagnosis is not difficult. Its mode of transmission is known and the epidemiological work involves no unsurmountable dif- ficulties. Outstanding as the most effective of the control measures is _ universal vaccination, carried on with appropriate technique and using vaccine of adequate potency. However, despite the fact that more than 100 years have elapsed since Jenner's discovery, smallpox continues to be a permanent public health problem in several of the American countries, and occurs frequently in others in endemic or epidemic form.

If It’s Make Your Newsworthy— La Salle College Banquet Send It In! ALUMNI NEWS Reservations VOL. I APRIL, 1947 No. 3 Named to Philadelphia All-District Team xplorings by C harlie F itzpatrick, ’39 ORD is around that the next big W event on the LSC Alumni program bids fair to be a sellout. Of course, I refer to the Alumni Banquet to be held at the Hotel Penn-Sheraton on June 5. For those that attended the Blue and Gold Ball in this newly and tastefully redecorated hotel there is no need to dwell on its appropriateness as the scene of the Alumni Banquet. The main ballroom has been reserved, and this will afford room for the first 400 seeking reservations. Despite the anticipated outpouring of Alumni, I have it that there will be space enough for a bar. There will be no entrance examination to gain admittance to the latter.

  • 2 the Three Partitions of 1947
    2 The three partitions of 1947 Elections, commissions, protest and strife The years 1945 to 1947 were marked by intense struggle in the sub­ continent. What the Second World War established, and the end of the war only underlined, was the changed military, political and economic position of Britain in the world and the radical transformation of the political temper in India. All this lent unprecedented urgency to the question of the transfer of power and the establishment of national gov- ernment(s) in the subcontinent. It was in this situation that the Indian National Congress leadership was released from jail, efforts at mobilisa­ tion of different sections of the society were actively renewed, large-scale urban demonstrations and rural uprisings occurred, new elections were held and sustained high-level constitutional negotiations took place after 1945. Much of the politics of the previous three or four decades had been about national liberation. It was a serious complication that the call for Indian self-government was now joined by the call for Muslim self- government in a new country to be named Pakistan. Talk of independence was rife. However, while the Congress and those in sympathy with it ex­ pected the independence of a united India, the Muslim League slogan became 'Pakistan for Independence'. There were two nations in India, it was argued, and the acceptance of the Pakistan demand was the only road to the genuine independence of all Indians, the Muslims in a free Pakistan and the Hindus in a free Hindustan. Yet the idea of Pakistan itself, the proposal for a partition of British India between its Muslim-majority and its Hindu-majority provinces, had not had a long history.
