...Rhodesians felt they could break with Britain and escape hardships, they were wrong. Wilson pointed out that 48 countries had already subscribed to sanctions against Rhodesia in the event of U.D.I., and that it would be a simple matter to cut off the nation's oil by embargo. Even though Portugal would probably keep some oil flowing into Rhodesia through Angola or Mozambique, it would be a scant and stopgap measure at best...
...part series by Novelist Fusap Hayashi. Tojo's execution as a war criminal, argues Hayashi, was part of a "ritualized vendetta" that began with Roosevelt's attempts to draw Japan into war.

Japan, writes Hayashi, was justified in attacking Pearl Harbor out of self-defense. "How was it possible," he asks, "to maintain peace and order when one guy takes away food from...
...many African leaders will turn up. Last week his Foreign Minister, Abdel Aziz Bouteflika, was off on a recruiting tour of Africa's west coast.

In order to do so, Tanzania apparently plans to import the bulk of its goods instead from Red China under aid agreements, and shops in Dar es Salaam last week...
With 23,500 railroad cars immobilized as they awaited unloading in harbors and another 25,000 backed up by an embargo at inland points, car shortages showed up as far inland as Wisconsin. B. Kuppenheimer & Co., a Chicago suitmaker, laid off 200 cutters and trimmed its production 35% for lack of imported fabrics. Textile and shipping employees in Houston and Boston had to go on unwelcome winter vacations. In Miami, a shortage of Scotch threatened vacationers while 200,000 cases lay in six ships in the port...
