...embarrassing situation for Kaunda, who must swallow enough of his African nationalist pride to stay on speaking terms with white-supremacist regimes that most other black Africans have boycotted. Kaunda's enforced moderation has fallen on deaf ears in Rhodesia, whose racist Premier Ian Smith seems bent on severing all ties with Zambia-including the rail line. "There's going to be a hell of a trouble unless the people down there can see sense quickly," says Zambian Vice President Reuben Kamanga...

U.D.I. stands for "Unilateral Declaration of Independence," a doctrine that Prime Minister Ian Smith threatens to invoke unless Britain grants freedom to his white-supremacist nation, which remains tied to London through a colonial constitution.

Unwilling even to consider such heresy, White Supremacist Ian Smith has been marching rowdily toward the point of no return: unilateral declaration of independence (UDI), the likes of which Britain has not faced since 1776. As Rhodesians prepared for the showdown, they got a crackdown instead. Tipped off by Smith's brusque refusal to discuss the situation in London last week, British Prime Minister Harold Wilson sent his Rhodesian colleague a memorandum warning direly that UDI would be "treasonable," an "open act of defiance and rebellion" that would bring swift reprisal by Britain...

...reason alone is no match for emotionalism, and last month Smith announced that the date for his supremacist independence had finally been set for December. Salisbury cafe wags warbled merrily: 'Tan's Dreaming of a White Christmas." But Ian was not just dreaming...
