When his rivals, Swe and Nyein, entered to a storm of applause, U Nu cordially joined in. In his speech during the temperate six-hour debate, the Buddhist Prime Minister told a scatological joke about a king, his queen, and two domestic animals that convulsed the Deputies, and then won the biggest applause of the day by promising that "as long as I am Prime Minister, our neutrality policy will remain unchanged.
