Collection Title Commonwealth Club of California records
Speaker Towsey, Kenneth
Date Created August 13, 1976
Description Towsey discusses the "barefaced aggression" Rhodesia faces from economic sanctions imposed by the United Nations. Black radical political groups are pressuring for a turnover of power to the black majority. Towsey states that these groups are subsidized by communist powers and supported by neighboring black African countries, as well as the United States. He explains how the situation in Rhodesia has worsened since the U.S. secretary of state's Lusaka statement, which Towsey views as U.S. support of aggression. Towsey believes that the U.S. could play a useful role in helping Rhodesia towards democracy.
