U.N. diplomats say Secretary General Thant could be persuaded to seek another term if key conditions are met. Finances at the U.N. are strained with a deficit estimated between 52 and 70 million dollars. Potential successors include Finland's Max Jakobson, Sri Lanka's Hamilton Amerasinghe, Ethiopia's Lij Makonnen, Mexico's Alfonso Garcia Robles, Ghana's Robert Gardiner, Nigeria's S. C. Adebo, and Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew, though each faces overlapping concerns.
