STRONG SUPPORT
BURMA CONSTITUTION SOCIALIST REPUBLIC RANGOON, May 23. The Anti-Fascist People’s Freedom League unanimously adopted the draft constitution for a Socialist Republic of Burma which the president, Mr. V. Aung San, tabled at the conference. The Burmese Constituent Assembly almost certainly will accept the constitution when it meest on June 10 as the league commands 95 per cent of the Assembly’s votes. Mr. Aung San said Burma under the constitution would be a State founded on the principles of a war-born democracy, not on old time-worn AngloAmerican democracy. The constitution generally had been modelled on the pattern of Yugoslavia's constitution, but the idea of establishing a Chamber of Nationalities had been taken from the Soviet system.
