Rhodesia mediation plan gives Wilson optimism
London reports Prime Minister Harold Wilson believes a Rhodesian settlement may be possible after agreeing with Ian Smith to form a three member royal commission to seek a formula for independence while Rhodesia's two leading African nationalist leaders reject the idea. They demand a one man one vote referendum under the 1941 constitution, and ground rules for the commission remain unresolved. Wilson says the accord buys time for careful thought, though British commentators doubt a workable settlement. Joshua Nkomo accuses Britain of evading responsibilities by proposing the royal commission.
