SENANAYAKE SHOWS HOW PEACE PROPOSALS CAN BE MADE TO PAY OFF
At the beginning of April, Prime Minister Senanayake of Ceylon proposed that the Ky regime in Saigon, the govern-— ment of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam ‘and the Front for National Liberation meet in Ceylon for "discussions."
This version of Johnson's propaganda about meeting with Hanoi "any time" and “any place" while he keeps up the bombing, was well received in Saigon.
The propaganda ploy made a favorable impression in loftier circles, too, it seems. On April 19 it was announced in Tokyo that the U.S., Australia, Canada, Great Britain, West Germany, Japan and France favor granting Ceylon a loan of $50,000,000 to help make up its chronic shortage in foreign exchange.
