Talks in Cairo The Middle East continues to
grab the headlines this week, understandably. Presiderit Sadat of
Egypt has invited interested parties, including Israel, the U.S. and
the
u.s.s.R.
to Cairo for a round of talks in preparation for a re
newed Geneva conference. So far, only Israel has expressed a willing
ness to attend (probably to be represented by Foreign Minister Moshe
Dayan). Jordan is sitting on the fence, undecided whether to go to
Cairo or to attend a rival, rabidly anti-Egyptian Arab sununit to be
held in radicalized Libya. Odds are Amman will be represented at
both meetings.
Talks on Majority Rule f·
or Rhodesia In Rhodesia, Prime Minister Ian
smith has called for talks with moderate black factions to plan for
a majority rule government. His invitation apparently is being well
received. This puts the U.S. and Britain on the spot: Are they
sincere in their professed desire for one-man-one-vote majority rule
-- or will they persist in their ill-devised Anglo-American scheme
which would practically hand over the country to externally-based
Conununist-supported guerrillas who have already said they want no
part of free elections (since few would vote for them)?
