Summary: THE ORIGINAL DRAFT of this study was prepared for the 1954 Kyoto Conference of the Institute of Pacific Rela tions. Each year since then, its basic argument has been re-examined in the light of a growing body of data made available by various official and other agencies in Burma. Revised versions have subse quently been circulated in Burma and the United States with cor rected and up-dated statistical information for the following years. When the original draft was issued some Burmese reviewers ex pressed surprise at the author's emphasis on the priority poten tialities of agricultur and other raw materials production and on the difficulties of transforming a primary product economy into an industrialized one. Criticism of Burma's Eight-Year Plan (prepared with American technical assistance and adopted in September 1952) was at that time seldom expressed.
