Thus, in a pallid parody of the American Declaration of Independence, the white-supremacist regime of Rhodesia's Ian Smith finally made good its threats of two years, broke its ties with Commonwealth and Crown, and assumed its "sovereign independence...
...British Prime Minister had come to Rhodesia to try, somehow, to prevent the white-supremacist colonial regime of Ian Smith from seizing independence. It was as critical a mission as Wilson had ever undertaken. The United Nations had urged sanctions to starve the settlers out. Some African states were talking of leaving the Commonwealth.

To prepare for U.D.I., Smith dissolved his Parliament six weeks ago, called on Rhodesia's white voters to give him an overwhelming mandate in the new Assembly, and started propaganda machines pounding home the "real issue" of the election: white in dependence or black domination...
