That was how Smith replied to a Canadian reporter's ques- tion as to why Rhodesia, self- governing since 1923, now re- garded a complete break with Britain as an urgent matter. A man who exudes conviction, Smith spoke with a forthright air in his vast office in Parlia- ment House, where elephant tusks adorn a stairway. Plastic surgery following a wartime plane crash--he was-a fighter pilot--adds to his resolute and set expression. Would independence really en- courage investment? Smith was asked. Would not people wait to see how independence turned out -- whether there might be some trouble or convulsion in the white - supremacist country where there are 4,000,000 Afri- cans and only 220,000 'Euro- peans?"' : "We don't believe so," said the premier. "We believe our record is such that. we have managed all along. I mean look at the trouble we have had from people who have been trying to undermine us and who have not succeeded. "We believe that there would be less chance of them succeed- ing after independence, not more, and I think this is shared by all the people who have had experience in Africa. To us the position can only improve." The surge for independence, accompanied by a sharp politi- cal swing to the right, grew from the breakup in December, 9963, of the Central African Fed- eration which for 10 years linked Southern Rhode sia, Northern Rhodesia, now independent Zambia, and Nyasaland, now in- dependent Malawi Smith's Rhodesian Front party swept aside all effective white opposition to its rule in an election last May and under . the present electoral system--)preceded by constitutional guar- by which in theory a black manjantees for the African majority could become premier -- there|brought from Smith his now- are in the 65-seat Parliament|famous threat of UDI -- unilat- 15 so-called African seats, al-|eral though two are held by non-Af-|dence. ricans. | declaration of SEE IAN SMITH Continued On Page 11 indepen- EX-DIRECTOR WILL SURRENDER - Smith Silent After Talks With Cabinet SALISBURY (Reuters)-- with his cabinet for three hours today but declined to say later whether they had reached any decision on the explosive issue of Rhodesi independ i After joking with reporters and photographers outside the cabinet room, he told them: "You might just as well go home." The prime minister had re- ported to his cabinet on the abortive talks in London last week, The cabinet meeting followed an unexpected appeal Tuesday night by British Prime Minis- ter Harold Wilson for Smith to accept a new initiative to break the deadlock by receiving a mission of Commonwealth lead- ers. Informed observers here believe the self-governing Af- rican colony ruled by a white minority government will de- clare independence unilaterally now that Britain has refused to grant it, but that no date will be: set. Britain refuses to grant independence until the majority Negro population is given a 'greater say in government.

The new plant - presently employs 800° workers. In full production it will em- ploy some 1,100. Over 100 employees from the Oshawa plant have made new homes in Quebec to help train the new workers. The plant is making about 200 cars a week on a one- shift, five-day-a-week opera- tion. This is expected to in- crease to 150 cars a day when a full staff is working and the men, largely un- skilled, are trained The plant is currently non- union but the United Auto Vorkers union (CLC) is or- Panizing workers. Speaking at the opening cere- mony E. H, Walker, president of General Motors said: *""'Que- in Canada announced last year. was not a matter of chance, but 'Lesage Opens GM's Ste. Therese Plant bec has assumed partnership in Canada's automobile industry at a challenging time in history. "When we announced that we would build a plant here I said I believed that this province, which is one of our principal markets, will continue its spec- tacular growth. - 'In believe this even more firmly today. In Quebec the number of households with cars increased by 35 per cent during the past four years against a national average of only 20 per cent. "General Motors sales of cars and trucks in Quebec climb steadily -- from 70,000 to 74,000 in 1964 for an increase of five and a half per cent." The St. Therese plant, to- gether with a new truck chassis plant at Oshawa and a new plant at Windsor, for the manufacture of passenger car interior trim, makes up the bulk of the $120 million GM expansion program Commenting on this Premier Lesage went on to say that one of the most important aspects of the 1,000,000 square foot plant, which will manufacture both Pontiac and Chevrolet four door sedans, is that it will draw manufacturers of auto parts to Quebec. "For example, during the first six months of 1965 at lease 10 manufacturers have announced their intention to es- tablish in Quebec," he said dur- ing a speech at the plant here, 20 miles north of Montreal. One of the major industries to be attract d by the GM plant and a smaller $3,500,000 assem- bly plant for French-made Re- nault and Peugeot cars at St.. Bruno, Que., which will open soon, is a $14,000,000 factory for Firestone Tire and Rubber Co. of Canada at Joliette, Que. Mr. Lesage said the construc- tion of a GM plant in Quebec was "induced by a number of concurrent factors which ren- dered this important decision easier to reach." He said there is a prosperous market. The rapid growth of Quebec was another factor. Mr. Lesage attributed~ the growth to "massive invest- ments' in Quebec since -1961 to- talling "more -- than $13,900,000,- 000. This incréased employ- ment by 14.5 per cent, personal income by 23 per cent and manufactured products by 21 per cent, he said. He toured the plant, which now employs 800 persons will employ some 1,100 by mid-No- vember. About 100 employees are from Oshawa, training lo- cal workers. The plant is making about 200 cars a week on a one-shift, five-day-week operation. This is expected to increase to 150 cars a day when a full staff is work- ing and the- men, largely un- skilled, are trained. The plant is currently non- union but the United Autos Workers union (CLC) is organ- izing workers. An official said the layout is similar to the main GM plant at Oshawa, with a similar de- gree of automation--"as high as presently feasible in the automobile industry." Company projections call for production of 39,000 cars a year, possibly increasing to around 80,000 if the plant goes on a two-shift basis late next year. All materials now used in as- sembly are from GM _ produc- tion centres in Ontario and the United States. The official said the cars will be sold in Canada and that ex- ports to the U.S. are '"'not un- der consideration at present." Overseas exports will still be handled by the Oshawa plant, he said. | 2amnigenneeann WILSON SEES QUEEN TO PRESENT REPORT ON RHODESIA TALKS Election Rumors Quashed Before Return To London From Reuters-AP 'DYCE, Scotland (CP)--Prime Minister Harold Wilson today reported to Queen Elizabeth on his week-long talks with Rhode- sian ministers on the colony's independence crisis. But after seeing the monarch at nearby Balmoral Castle, he announced there would be no recall of Pafliament unless there was 4&\serious develop- ment in Rhodesia. Speaking to reporters before flying back to London, Wilson said the purpose of his visit to the Queen had nothing to do with dissolving Parliament for a general election. There was earlier speculation that this was one of. the reasons for the visit. The premier added that he would hold a meeting of his cabinet later this week. Wilson in a televised speech carried by radio to the 21 Com- monwealth members, including Rhodesia, warned TQuesday night that the threat by the self governing colony's white min- ority rulers to break away from Britain "may be danger- ous not only for Rhodesia but sh a far greater area of Af- ca." PERIL MAY WIDEN The peril "may extend even wider and involve the whole world," he. said. Following the broadcast, it ; normal Ls the r , 'to inform the Queen, as head of the Commonwealth, of the pro- posal for mediation by Com- monwealth leaders. Wilson said he made the pro- posal in a message to Rhodes- ian Prime Minister Ian Smith, who returned to Salisbury Tues- day after the collapse of week- long talks with British leaders in London. Wilson said he urged Smith, if he continued to reject inde- pendence on Britain's terms, to agree to a new Commonwealth initiative by a mission of senior Commonwealth premiers, rep- resenting all the prime minis- ters, presidents and peoples of the Commonwealth, to see if agreement can be reached, Wilson did not name the prime ministers he had in mind but from other sources it was learned he sent confidential diplomatic cables to the Com- monwealth leaders during the last few days in which he pro- posed that four prime ministers be chosen--those from Aus- tralia, Ceylon, Nigeria and Zambia. In one of those cables Wilson expressed doubt that Smith would accept this propo- sal, but it was worth a try. Wilson had in mind that Prime Minister' Sir Robert Menzies of Australia would lead the mission and Menzies is re ported to have replied that he would be willing to undertake the job if it had the backing of all the Commonwealth leaders, The British premier sone that a unilateral declaration independence could start a chain reaction in Africa which no one could see the end, STILL He stressed that Britain was prepared to go on talking with Smith to work out a program for early independence "based on guaranteed progress toward majority rule" by Rhodesia's 4,000,000 Negroes, Canada Applies Sanctions It Rhodesia OTTAWA (CP) -- Canada is prepared to apply economic sanctions against Rhodesia in concert with Britain and other Commonwealth nations if Rho- desia declares itself indepen- dent before majority rule, in- formed sources said 'Tuesday. In the post - war years at least, Canada has not looked on economic sanctions against any with any particular favor. Readiness now to apply such measures illustrates the gov- ernment's serious view of the Rhodesian situation, a problem which has had almost constant Goes It Alone attention. in the external afe fairs department for nearly three years. { The problem is looked on here almost entirely as a racial one. The white government of Rhodesia, representing . about 230,000 whites, has so far strangled the voice of 4,000,000 blacks. Prime Minister Pearson has declared that majority rule~-- one man, one vote, regardless of color--must prevail in Rho- desia before it can become completely independent from a Britain, OEE eT NEWS HIGHLIGHTS Major Outbreak Of Kashmir Fighting NEW DELHI (AP) -- India reported today a major battle between regular troops of the Indian and Pakistani armies in the mountains of Kashmir.
