Arab States - West Germany: Nasir's pressure
on the Arab states to sever relations with West Ger-
many is meeting with considerable success.
In addition to Egypt, nine Arab states have agreed
to break relations with West Germany, and five seem
ready to recognize East Germany. Of the 13 Arab
League members, only Morocco, Tunisia, and Libya
have not agreed to break with Bonn. Syria has not
yet decided to establish relations with East Germany,
but is likely to fall in line with Cairo.
It is not yet clear whether there will be a general
economic break with West Germany. The states
which apparently are about to break diplomatic rela-
tions with Bonn have agreed to sever economic rela-
tions if West Germany takes a "hostile" stand toward
any Arab state. If Bonn Da Vs "damages" to Israel
in lieu of completing I I arms agreement or
cuts off economic aid to one of the Arab states, this
might well be considered a "hostile" act.

Burma- General Ne Win's socialist regime may
be running into a new crisis with the Burmese Bud-
dhist establishment.
A convention of Buddhist monks, called by the
government last fall to tighten monastic discipline
and curb antigovernment agitation, opened yesterday
in Rangoon. Monks from the Mandalay area, the
center of Buddhist opposition to the regime, are boy-
cotting the convention and have openly called for the
overthrow of the secular-minded, "Communist" gov-
ernment.
For the past two months, Buddhist agitators have
staged a series of increasingly violent incidents,
evidently hoping to provoke the government into re-
pressive measures. Last week, the monks burned
a local government party headquarters in the Manda-
lay region.
Ne Win has thus far shown restraint, and the re-
gime still appears to have the over-all situation in
hand. If Ne Win is pushed into suppressing the agita-
tion with force, however, antigovernment feeling is
likely to spread rapidly among the general population.

NOTES
Western Europe: Italian Foreign Minister Fanfani
has proposed an unpublicized meeting of EEC foreign
ministers in May to discuss the procedural aspects of
European political unification. He has preliminary in-
dications that the French and Dutch do not object. De
Gaulle and Erhard agreed at Rambouillet in January
to try to relaunch unity talks this spring, but neither
has been willing thus far to take a clear lead]
