Announcement of the Revolutionary Party
No. 28
Pleasant relations between Thailand and Cambodia, the countries which have been neighbours and close acquaintances of each other as if being brothers and sisters since former times, have declined of late. Following the unsuccessful demand for the Phra Wihan Mount, part of the Thai territory, to be relinquished to Cambodia, Thailand has become the target of continuous attacks by broadcasting radio and newspapers in Phnom Penh, despite His Majesty's Government having done nothing to the detriment of Cambodia at all. Even after the Revolutionary Party has taken control over the national administration, it is still believed that there is a way to negotiate so as to find an opportunity to understand each other and situations would improve favourably in the near future. However, the Cambodian government eventually became the first to sever diplomatic relations with Thailand for a simple reason which was quite a surprise to the political circle universally and it is not certain whether there is any evil scheme hidden.
Whereas the Revolutionary Party deems that the safety of Thailand and the Thai people is more important than anything else and finds, from the outcomes of careful patrol for examination of safety along the borders from Ubon Ratchathani province to Trat province, that, apart from complete closure of borders, increase of border protection is also necessary; therefore—
1.it orders that all and every one of the border protection units shall be ready to confront any aggression or violation at any time, in order to offer the most decisive and severest opposition and counteraction to it, whether it be a border invasion or a criminal-like action towards the Thai people;
2.it orders that the Royal Thai Police Department shall, as quickly as possible, despatch patrol police forces sextupling the original forces to the Phra Wihan Mount, which shall be considered a holy ground of the Thais that no other nation shall invade or violate.
For this purpose, the Thai national flag shall be hoisted visibly.
Announced on the 27th day of November 2501
Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat
Leader of the Revolutionary Party
