For the Record

The head of Burma’s pro-Western (there is one) Democratic Party called on the Burmese government to declare war on Communist China unless China immediately withdraws its troops from Burma. Democratic Party leader Thakin Ba Sein was reported fighting mad over reports that Chinese troops in the Kachin state are building blockhouses within 45 miles of Myitkyina (familiar to the GI’s who helped build the Burma Road)…. Australian correspondent Reg Leonard reported he saw no signs of extensive forced labor during his recent wide swing through Red China. Last week, the USIA (Information Agency) estimated 15 million Chinese had been forced into slave labor in the past six years.

The Polish Government has refused visas to two French lawyers designated by the International Commission of Jurists to attend the trial of Poznan strikers as observers…. A Polish union leader last week denied that Polish workers have the right to strike (all disputes should be solved before they have “time to mature”). Russia ratified fifteen international Labor Conventions and put itself “on record” as favoring collective bargaining.
