WLTPIC&, ECONOMIC 'R6S OCIAL S~TltATION.., 1.1.1 The stabilitk of the Gover-nt. i n ~ a i g i nan d the rehtiGe banquility obseka in Vietnamese cjkies constituted by and laxge the most characteristic and salient ashecis of &e cou.&ry's d&estic l i f e during the period wder review (~efiember 1966 - Awst '1967). Such 8. situation was a l l the more sipificant by its outstanding contrast to preceding periods when a succession of coups and short-Uved Cabinets acccanpanied by p&lysSzg street disorders ~edominabzd local events. . . 1.1.2 Tt might be useful t o recall h t the present military Government, Led by A i r Vice Marshal 0,to ok over in June 1965. A Director$' and a W a r Cabinet were soon formed to administer the country. Since then genuine and successful efforts were made to control and to prevent recurrence of disorders or unruly manifestations in public gathering places and streets. The last disturbances of any magnitude which momentarily shock the War Cabinet dated back to the spring of 1966 when the Buddhists (headea by Thich T r i ~uang) started hwe manifestations in Saigon and in the larger provincial toms particuLariy in the northern areas. Calling for an immediate return to a civilian form of Goverment and also for tkie establishment of a Constitution, the Buddhists confronted the military authorities for almost Woe months. Anti-American feeling ran equally hi& in their midst and accounted for the damages inflicted to some United States buildLng and proprties.
