say he had come to the conclusion that the government was right.

since the original groups of insurgents were not accomplishing

anything with their demands for statehood.

The Shweman: Sayadaw said he was about to set to work and

that on a (B val holy day) in the month of Tabaunge he would

deliver a sermon which would deal with [XM] the danger of communism

and how it seeks to thwart religion. He said he would also speak

on how the Revolutionary Goverrment [3G] (B val misrules) the

people and how, once the people have been alerted, the government

will be destroyed.

The monk continued by saying that as it has been with the

monks who unhesitatingly banded together and put a stop to the

trouble over the four pagoda colonnades and the (B val number) 45

petrol station, the people likewise will' be able to put an end

to their troubles. And today, as it has been with world leaders

like NGO DINH DIEM

and KENNEDY. Bogyoke NE WIN likewise will

tremble with fear.
