DAILY BRIEF
3 OCTOBER.1967
1, South Vietnam
2. Communist China
There is no hard information yet
as to what student and Buddhist agita-
tors are planning now that the elec-
tions have been legalized.
Ambassador Bunker notes that at no
,time in the past few days have the oppo-
sition groups been able to evoke any
real popular response to their campaign
against the election results. He doubts
that there will be any major effort now
? to mount demonstrations against the as-
sembly's validation of the Thieu-Ky vic-
tory.
Tri Quang says he will stay out in
front of Independence Palace until the
government meets his demands. He is
said to be planning now to focus his
protest on the official charter recently
granted by the government to moderate
Buddhist elements. The charter, in
effect, gives financial control of the
Buddhist church to his principal rival.
This issue, and not the elections,
may have been the principal motive for
the suicide of a Buddhist nun in the
delta town of Can Tho early today.
Moderation on the home front has
brought on greater restraint in foreign
policy. The wild xenophobia of a month
ago has gradually subsided. Foreign
diplomats in Peking, at least for now,
are no longer living in constant fear
of new onslaughts of Red Guard violence.
