  In this paper, we consider a class of balanced manifolds and provide a proof
of a problem proposed by Silva-that compact complex manifolds that are Kahler
outside an analytic subset are balanced. Next, as a special case of this
theorem, we prove that compact complex manifolds which are Kahler outside a
Kahler submanifold are class C. Finally, we prove that a blow up along a
submanifold of Hironaka's examples are Kahler, and we establish that Hironaka's
examples are examples of this theorem.
