Blacks Ask Britain For Active Role In Rhodesia Talks

Black nationalist leader Joshua Nkomo joined presidents from four black nations in Salisbury as they urged Britain to take a more active role in the Geneva conference on Rhodesia. They rejected Britain acting merely as an umpire and pressed for decolonization and a clear British leadership in the process. The talks aim to set up an interim government and eventual majority rule, with Britain naming the conference chair.
