32. The demands of the armed forces to strengthen the Government culminated today in the resignation of the Cabinet. Minister for Foreign Affairs and Minister of Public Works will probably continue in office but military officers will replace the others. It is reliably reported that the President is resentful of the interference of the military and their opposition to the holding of the Assembly and that there will be further developments.
