All evidence points clearly to the fact that we are not by present means coming to grips with Rhodesia’s root problems. This can be contradicted ’til those responsible are blue (or purple?) in the face and I will not believe them. And, lest I be misunderstood, I do not know of a group of men with a proposition sufficiently noble or practical in concept. Rhodesia is at root both a noble and a practical concept and I, for one, owe most of what I am and have to her.
