Gap between UK and Rhodesia in crisis talks deepens
Prime Minister Harold Wilson warned of a considerable gap to bridge as Britain seeks a settlement with Rhodesia over its 1965 independence move. He spoke before a secret meeting with Rhodesia’s Prime Minister Ian Smith, a “very last ditch” effort to resolve the dispute that began with Smith’s white regime declaring independence rather than accepting majority rule. The plan drew mixed reactions in Parliament with Conservatives backing summit talks and some Labour members fearing concessions on core principles.
