Independence Problems Facing British Guiana
British Guiana poised to become Guyana on May 26 with a non Communist government in control. Jagan remains a potent force in and out of the country while Burnham leads a rival party seeking coalition power. London warned of communist danger, but observers call it unlikely and focus on postindependence economic and social challenges and racial tensions. Burnham benefits from governor general Sir Richard Luyt's support during transition.
