Excerpt: U Saw aka Galon U Saw (Burmese: or, 19001948) was a leading Burmese politician and Prime Minister during the colonial era before the Second World War.

In November 1941, he travelled to London in an unsuccessful attempt to gain a promise from Winston Churchill that Burma be granted Dominion status after the Second World War; at the same time, he made contact with the Japanese to secure his own political future should Japan invade Burma.
