FAR EAST
L. Change in Thai Government again indicated:
Ambassador Stanton has been told
that conflict
within the ruling clique is reaching a critical
point and that the actions of the chief rivals
for power, Generals Sarit and Phao, indicate they are preparing for
an armed showdown.
Citing considerable evidence of increasing
tension, Stanton states that a major change in the Thai Government
may occur within the next five weeks.
2. Chinese Nationalist force penetrating Karen territory:
a Chinese Nationalist force of 700
men has moved south from northeastern
Burma into the base area of Karen operations (see map).
The American Embassy comments that
continued Nationalist involvement with the Karens might cause the
Burmese Government to make the Nationalists their primary target
instead of the insurgent Communists.
Comment: Open Nationalist cooperation
with the Karens could influence the Burmese to appeal the issue to the
United Nations or to request military assistance from the Chinese
Communists.
