wilson blasts chrome cargos to rhodesia by glen clark calls congress action outrage to americans i can think of no act more calculated to outrage moderate african feeling . „" said the right honorable harold wilson than the u.s congress dishonoring the united nations restrictions on chrome shipments to rhodesia this act is just short of supplying arms to white south africans he contends wilson the former prime minister of great britain and current leader of the british parliamentary labour party made these statements in the first of his three addresses in the seventh annual blaustein lecture series the lectures were founded by the late jacob blaustein 13 founder of the american oil company now a part of standard oil of indiana through gifts from the blaustein founda tion the lecture series has been guaranteed until 1974 the general topic of his lectures is britain and world affairs his lecture on wednesday in grace hall was en titled britain and the transition from imperialism on this subject wilson noted that britain's role in the world has changed tremendously in the 27 years since world war 11 he said that this period has been characterized by a transition from empire to the concept of the modern self-governing commonwealth a large portion of his lecture was devoted to rhodesia which according to wilson by-passed the normal pattern for decolonization he pointed out that normally the first step in becoming an independent territory is to submit to the rule of governors who were british re cruited local administrators and armed forces personnel then a governor's advisory council with the emphasis on advice replaces the governors rule he added this is usually followed by a legislative council which has an official majority at first he said in the case of rhodesia according to wilson these steps were ignored to pre vent the black majority from having an opportunity to rule the former prime minister also touched briefly on the problems of decolonization bitter communal fighting is usually the greatest difficulty in the achievement of independence wilson asserted this is sometimes in the form of religious differences but more often the issue is race he said with the consequent problem of the protection of minorities evidence of this sort of conflict is seen between indians and africans in british guiana now guyana between moslems and chinese ln

there now exists an imperative need to guaran tee the rights of the catholic minority while assuring those of the protestant majority wilson said my own experience with rhodesia . . . was not good referring to his dealings as prime minister with the break-away british colony he stated that if the verdict of the pearce commission a group of british officials who have surveyed the native rhodesians to determine if they accept the political settlement worked out late last year between london and salisbury is a refusal of the settle ment there will be no future in further negotiations between britain and rhodesia in the event that there is no settlement he said that britain lapara proposes new ideas for community relations the community relations committee under nicholas lapara assistant professor of philosophy has been con sidering some new ideas that will be passed along to the new cr committee these ideas include socially-oriented projects that are aimed at improving lehigh's image in the bethlehem area one project that is proposed to next year's forum is the investigation of the universities portfolio jim walker vice president of finances for bethlehem steel and a lehigh trustee urged the forum to look over the bethlehem steel portfolio no one investigated at the time but the proposed project would enable the forum to investigate all university investments and see if any of these businesses are conducting socially detrimental opera tions this would include discrimination against minorities and excessive pollution under this plan the forum would then notify the trustees of any socially detri mental investments hopefully they in turn would force the business to rectify the situation or sell the university owned stocks in that business chuck loehr
