Smith commented: "We are satisfied that the po- litical climate is responsible for the resurgence in confidence - and that the world wishes to be assured that we are going to maintain standards and that we are not going to be a party 'to a rapid hand-over to people who are not fit to govern." Can Rhodesia be sure South Africa would be a loyal ally when their facial policies dif- fer?

How could South Africa find it possible to support UDI, gen- erally regarded as illegal under the constitution: The question should' be put to South Africa, said Smith, but added: , "This is a controversial thing I suppose in the strict letter of the law it may be termed un- constitutional, but we believe we can prove... promises from the British government to give us this. In the event of some- body not honoring obligations, what do you do about it? If you make a contract which is a le- gal and binding contract with somebody and he doesn't fulfil it and you take matters into your own hands, {is this really an illegal action?" The story, said Smith, goes back to 1923 when the British government offered either inde- pendence or union with South | Africa, | "This is tantamount to giving us independence, isn't it? Tell-| ling us, make up your own mind |--you're grown up? | "So we voted against going in jwith South-Africa--if we had, look where we would have been today." |PREFERRED TO WAIT Rhodesia decided then to be- come a self-governing colony, which Smith described as a 'unique category" in the Com- monwealth, leaving London in icharge of external affairs.

The federation broke up in 1963, Smith recalled, "so we then said to the British govern- |ment, 'All right, now, thanks, |we will have the other part of the bargain that you offered us originally.' | "Could anything be more log ical than that? ... | '* 'Oh no, times have changed,' ithey said." |for Rhodesia or federation but OTTAWA (CP)--A published report of ill feeling between head coach Frank Clair and assistant coach Bill Smyth drew angry denials Tuesday from Clair and Eddie Emerson, president of the Ottawa Rough Riders.
