Barely more than half of the chiefs of government are expected to attend. Many of the missing will be protesting Wilson's Rhodesia policy, which so far has failed to cripple the country's economy. The most vocal absentee: Zambia's Kenneth Kaunda, who threatens to leave the Commonwealth entirely unless a full-scale invasion is mounted to bring force against its southern neighbor.

...worst is still to come for Rhodesia. The decline in demand induced by the trade embargoes has forced manufacturers to lay off workers and the credit squeeze has forced small retailers out of business. British Prime Minister Wilson and Dr. Kaunda of Zambia have kept their most effective weapon in reserve. They could still halt all trade between Rhodesia and neighboring Zambia, a measure which would do serious damage to Rhodesia's secondary industry and her foreign exchange position...
