BURMA

Burma is about 309:. larger than Thailand. lt borders Laos and Thailand. the common border is about 150 miles in length.

Burma is a young nation - in- dependent since 1948. and her leaders say they .want to stay aloof from the struggle between communist lands and the western nations. She has refused aid from United States since 1953. thinking that continuous acceptance of help from the United States would get them involved in a world conflict.

They have condemnied com- munism as a threat to peace and stability in Southeast Asia. Af- ter the Burmese had thrown off British rule they seemed incap- able of self-rule. but under their Premier U. Nu an army was re- cruited and trained and the com-

munist threat was stopped. It seemed evident from that ex- perience with the communists

that the country would ever turn to communsim.

Also the relative abundance of food and land in Burma hurts the chances of the Reds. Her fertile soil can produce more than enough food to feed her 19 mil- lion people.

"A calendar for the pro- per measuring of time, one that is as exact as modern science. is as 'great a need for the use of farmers as it is for accountants. statisticians and business men". This need of a world calendar has been stressed by a great number of authorities in man lands and in many different walks of life.

The whole matter was to be considered again at the 19th session of the Council.

One of the first organized plans in the field of recent calendar reforms was started by an Eng- lish railway accountant. Moses Cotsworth. who revived the pro- posal of Auguste Comte for a 13- month year. Comte was the founder of the ”Posltivism faith". whose principal feature was said to be symmetry. The calendar he prepared in 1849 had 13 months, all the same. and elaborately em- bellished with the names of great men. .

Cotsworth. with extraordinary zeal and activity. established an organization in England in 1895. advocating a 13-month year. He came to Canada and conducted a campaign here and in the nited States on the reform of the Calendar. This stirred up a great deal of interest in calendar re- form.
