Britain blocks Rhodesia policy condemned by critics
In a critique raised during a Lynchburg speech at the Harry W. Smith Center, Sen. Harry F. Byne Jr. denounced Britain's plan to blockade Rhodesia as untenable and accused London of a double standard as it trades with North Vietnam and Haiphong. He argued the United States shames itself supporting Britain while ignoring its own ties with the Communist regime and warned that such actions prolong war and bloodshed.
