Progress Doubted In Salisbury
(N.Z.P.A.-Reuter —Copyright) SALISBURY, June 22. British and Rhodesian officials postponed a scheduled meeting in Salisbury yesterday amid growing press speculation that their talks on the Rhodesian independence crisis have failed to make progress.
Officials said: “It had happened to suit both teams” to defer yesterday’s meeting until today. Since June 2 they have had 12 meetings in Salisbury after earlier talks in London.
A general belief is growing among white Rhodesians that the talks are destined to fail unless major concessions—which no one expects—are
made by one side or the other. The talks have been conducted in strict secrecy. No official comment could be obtained on local press reports that senior officials of the Rhodesia Front Party were growing increasingly sceptical about the talks paving the way for a settlement of the crisis. Yesterday the Rhodesian Prime Minister, Mr lan Smith, said in a speech In Salisbury that the last thing Rhodesia would do would be to “throw in the sponge.”
