Mr. Solarz had just introduced a bill in Congress to tighten the pressure on South
Africa--by, for example, maintaining the ban on selling Krugerrands in the United States and ordering U.S. firms with plants in South Africa to apply there the same employment practices specified in our laws back home--even though the government there was already on the path to what President Botha described as "evolutionary change." Mr. Solarz defends his bill eloquently on moral grounds. His host and his fellow guest point out that it is not moral to urge actions that will have predictably counterproductive results. WEW: "Apartheid is dying of its own weight in South Africa. The gains that ethnic groups make normally come at a time of robust economic activity as opposed to contracted economic activity."
