Some Washington officials thought the Hove affair, by undercutting the credibility of the internal settlement, might encourage Smith and his colleagues to join such a conference. It could also spur the Salisbury government to avoid similar embarrassments in the future and to broaden its popular support. Last week the Rev. Ndabaningi Sithole, another black council member, said flatly that...
