slorc to auction off gems    21/10/97
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


    SLORC will auction off more than $14 million worth of jade, gems and
pearls from Thursday to
foreign gem merchants according to official reports.SLORC needs hard currency
and the only  and immediate way to earn it is to sell off what the poor
nation has.
Natural resources in Burma are now known to be evaporating due to SLORC's
filthy schemes.

     The three-day auction will include more than $5 million worth
of jade, and the same amount in other gems including rubies and
sapphires.
