eng iat 2s a Bi } é Smith Policies Under Fire But Rhodesia's rightist gov- ernment has the backing of the white minority but re- mains sensitive: to criticism of its policies. A Canadian Press ter describes » im the tense African country. By JOSEPH MacSWEEN SALISBURY (CP) -- Racial tension has resiilted in a grow- ing spirit of intolerance in Rhodesia, say critics of Pre- mier Ian Smitli's rightist gov- ernment. The same 'critics concede, however, that a new election now would show 80 per cent of the electorate---which virtually|! means whites -- in favor of Smith's policies, In discussions about the poll- tical atmosphire, comparisons are made with the McCarthy era in the United States. Several Rhovlesians in conver- sation with a visiting reporter said it is generally accepted that telephony:s are tapped by police. "I wouldn't get too disturbed about that," a newspaper edi- tor commented, 'I understand some of our best bugging equip- ment comes from Canada." Reminiscent of McCarthyism is the statement by one mem- ber of the government that Communists are deliberately using Christianity and religion generally to subvert the people and undermine the standards of civilization which Premier Smith repeatedly says the white rulers are trying to up- hold. African nationalist parties have been banned and the gov- ernment has asserted control over the state radio and televi- sion stations, A nationalist newspaper {owned by Canadian - born Lord Thomson was closed two years ago. REPORTER CHARGED A charge was brought against a@ newspaper reporter who dis- covered that business organiza- tions had warned Smith in a secret report that a unilateral declaration of independence would be disastrous economi- cally. The charge was laid even though the reporter's story was not published, Despite pressure, however, newspapers continue to criticize the government. And there are individuals who also criticize Rt. Rev. Kenneth Skelton, an Anglican bishop, has attacked the idea .put forward by the premier that Rhodesia must re- main under white rule at least as long as necessary to ensure government "in civilized hands," ropean marriage in five ends in divorce cannot talk too -glibly about standards," the bishop said, "It bears a suggestion of moral sickness."' Europeans number 220,000 in la total of more than 4,000,000, \Britain insists that constitu- jHonal guarantees must be pro- vided for the African majority |before independence can be granted, Smith has demanded jimmediate independence and has threatened unilateral action jin the wake of his unsuccessful jnegotiations in London, Practically every Rhodesian premier in recent years has been a.step to the right of the |previous one and no one doubts ithat this is strictly the result of the racial qutstion. | One school of thought holds Ithat this can be attributed to He Would Win Again upheavals in The Congo and elsewhere, which struck fear in the hearts of white Rhodesians as to what would happen here with the advent of African na- tionalist rule. The opposite line is that this is a matter stressed by whites as an excuse for delaying hand- over of rule to the black ma- jority. Chad Chipunza, chairman of the opposition United People's Party and a member of the Rhodesian legislative assembly, said Europeans are merely us- ing the Congo bogey as a fright- ening example to maintain their privileged position. The Rhodesian idea is to at- tack, not to stand pat, in the face of general criticism, One target is the now-famous speech of Harold Macmillan, then Brit- ish prime minister, who warned a South African audience five years ago about 'winds of 'A society in which one Eu-|change"' sweeping the black! continent, A Rhodesian information de- jpactenens handout discusses the speech in these terms: | "They have been destructive winds, winds which, ripping southwards down the African lcontinent, have torn civilizatio apart at the seams leavig bare the maggots of opportunism which bore their way deep into quivering human misery, "Today the lights are going lout in Africa. The newly-inde- |pendent states now cover some 80 per cent of Africa's land mass and although there are some where democracy has sur- vived and statesmanship lives on, more and more are degen- erating into fascist slums propped up by international doles," Similar ideas were expressed im more moderate and perha mure convincing terms by Sir Roy Welensky, an opponent of Premier Smith and former Premier Smith and former prime minister of the now- dissolved Central African Fed- eration, which linked Southern Rhodesia, now simply Rhodesia, with Northern Rhodesia, now indepenent Zambia, and Nyasa- land, now independent Malawi. "Tt is no overstatement to say that in the last five. years some- where between 200,000 and 300,- 000 people have been murdered in this part of Africa," said Welensky, referring to the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Zan- zibar and other scenes of con- lict, "The Macmillan Cape Town speech seemed to presage these events which have had a tre- mendous influence on this part of the world." There is no doubt that the arrival of refugees from The Congo in Salisbury and its sister town of Bulawayo four years ago--at one time there were 8,000 in Salisbury alone--had a traumatic effect on Rhodesians. White Rhodesians take pride in saying that theirs is a policy of racial "partnership" not to be compared with the apartheid or racial separation in South Africa, But David Butler, leader of the Rhodesian Party which was eliminated by Smith's Rhode- ye eee Te ee yd sian Front in an election last May, said there is a hard core within the government who want to introduce the "full rigor of apartheid" in this territory. Hd expressed a widespread lear, Unlike South Africa, Rhodesia does not segregate hotels or restaurants but owners of such places can--and do--establish an effective color bar. The signs on lavatories in Salisbury movie houses say "Europeans only -- all - races toilet upstairs."" In South Af- rica, these places are labelled flatly "white" or "non-white,"" BLACKS HANDICAPPED Rhodesia is different from South Africa in that theoret- ically at least a black man can become premier of this country, if he can acquire the necessary education and wealth and can induce sufficient voters to plump for him, The facts of education and economics dictate, however, that this is not going to happen in the foreseeable future and Smith has said it will not hap- - in his lifetme.
