...comprehensive settlement. This plan calls for participation by all black factions, guerrillas based outside the country as well as moderate nationalists inside. But there has been a growing feeling in Congress that the Administration's commitment to this formula does not pay enough attention to important developments in Rhodesia...
Earlier this year, Smith made a long overdue offer to begin sharing political power with the blacks immediately and to hold free elections, based on universal adult suffrage, by Dec. 31. This proposal was accepted by a number of Rhodesia's most prominent moderate black nationalists, who had long opposed Smith's regime.

Washington has placed restrictions on U.S. companies doing business with countries as ideologically different as Fidel Castro's Cuba, Ian Smith's Rhodesia and Idi Amin's Uganda -often with mixed results and doubtful gains. Last week the U.S. once more waved its trade cudgel, this time against the Soviet Union. And again the move sparked debate over whether it is wise and whether it will work...
