Leaders from Japan, Laos, Cambodia, South
Viet-Nam, Thailand, Burma, Ceylon, and
India are convinced that Moral Re-Arma-
ment is the theology with the answer. Budd-
hlsm has just been made the state religion
of Burma. Five senior Abbots from that
country have come to plan at Caux for the
mobilization of the Buddhist world in the
theological struggle. These revered leaders
were seen off at the Rangoon airport by a
hundred monks and senior officials. They
have just been received in Oxford by the
