:
This minute living organism, which is believed to be the long-sought cause of the influenzal condition, is stated to be the main problem now confronting the scientists, and the one on which they are concentrating.
Its origin and properties are being inquired into by two full-time experts-Dr. C. H. S. Harris, of London University, and Dr. Leslie Hoyle, of Manchester University, both holders of the Royce research scholarships, founded under the will of the late Sir Henry Royce, the famous motor engineer.

"If we find the virus is the cause of influenza, then we can begin to trace its origin, and eventually to search for a cure or prevent the virus from be coming active.
