C)AILY BRIEF
~. THE COMMUNIST BLOC
Bu~, r;ma: The- Sino-:soviet bloc has made several eco-
nomic .overtures to Burmna since U Nu's recent ireturn to
the prex~iiership where. During. the past- month, Peiping
has proposed an expansi~~n of trade and aid for small in-
dustry, and the USSR. hays offered to help construct. the
Burmese portion. of a proposed Southeast Asian road net
and to staff the. Soviet-built hospital and technological in-
stitute iri Burma. U Nu probably will be more receptive
than -the previous Ne Win. government to Communist aid .

opposition's latest; effort: to block ratification of the new
US-Japanese. security treaty by forcing, Prime Minister
Kishi to dissolve the ps.rliament or resign, Kishi has the
constitutional- right to use his party's: sizable majority in
the upper house to proceed with ratification of the treaty.
His decision. to do so, h~c~wever, .may depend on the extent

Japanese Political Cripois Worsens
An announcement that Socialist members of the lower
house of the Diet will ~?esign en masse is the latest move by
Japanese leftists to force Prime Minister Kishi either to re-
sign or to dissolve the Diet and thereby halt ratification of
the new US-Japanese security treaty. The. Socialists, how-
ever, are delaying the submission. of their resignations until
after mass leftist demonstrations scheduled for 4June--which
are expected to exceed the turnout of 160,000 persons on 26
May--and are allowing; themselves time to gauge press and
public reaction before :a.ctually implementing. their decision.
If the. resignations are submitted, Prime Minister Kishi
has `twa alternative-s fo:r handling them, other than resigning
or dissolving the Diet. The Diet can refuse to accept them
and proceed with final :ratification of the treaty in the upper
house, whether or not the opposition parties maintain their
boycott. of the Diet sessions. A second, less likely, possi-
bility .is for I~ishi to cE~.rry out his earlier .threat to hold by-
elections for any vaca>.cies created by Socialist resignations,
but this would probable~~ be denounced by the press as another
of his "dictatorial" tactics. Kishi?s prospects for retaining
office following completion of the President's visit are uncer-
tain. but appear to be d.i.minishing.
Indications are th;a,t ~i.shi will-continue his efforts to com-
plete ratification, with or without Socialist participation, by
-the time President Ei,;enhower arrives on 19 June. His deci-
sion may depend on the. extent to which- the press and public
opinion continue to denounce Kishi for- his handling of the se-
curity treaty issue or ;bleed his warning that a government sur -
render to demonstrations and unparliamentary tactics would
constitute a serious threat to democracy in Japano
The latter argument is inducing some members of the
ruling Liberal-Democ:r?atic party to work somewhat more
aggressively for passage of the treaty and to de-emphasize
their attacks on lKishi until this is achieved.
