DISCUSSING
FUTURE OF
Burma's Internal
And External Aims
Rangoon, May 28.
U. Aung San, President of the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League, and deputy Chairman of the Burmese Interim Government, declared here to- day that his political career centred on one ideal- the establishment of a united and independent Burma by the free will and the sanction of the people..
The free and united Burma that he envisaged, he said, will be a "friend to all and foe to none, a sovereign state bused on the world charter, peace and democracy."
This concept, he added, marked the outline of Burma's draft constitution adopted by the AFPFL Convention held here last week.
