CASTRO MAKES FIGHTING .SPEECH AT QUEEN'S BIRTHDAY RECEPTION from Hsinhua

Premier Castro said in Havana on June 13th that the Cuban Revolution would continue to advance and one had to kill the last. Cuban before it could be stamped out, The example of the Cuban Revolution would remain indestructible even if Cuba was reduced to ashes, he said. The Premier was talking to foreign and Cuban pressmen at the Queen's birthiay reception given by the British Embassy on June 13th. The influence of the Cuban Revolution on peoples now fighting for liberation would be inerasable, he added, Castro said that the liberation of Cuba could be considered as the beginning of a movement which would surely culminate in the independence of Latin America for the second time, He stressed: "The sole and real enemy is the U.S. Government and the CIA.

The appointment of a former Permament Secretary of State at the Scottish Office - Sir D. Milne - to chair the typhoid enquiry 2t Aberdeen is blatant confirmantion of the Government's unwilligness to hold a really independent investigation. The terms of reference of the committee exclude enquiry into the decision not to withdraw the corned beef..Some South American states are often referred to as "banana republics" because of their subservience to the United Fruit Co. Perhaps subservience to Liebig's and Armour will earn Britain the title of the Bully Beef Monarchy, The whole Labour movement must demand the immediate resignation of the Minister of Agriculture over the typhoid epidemic,
