The Movement's annual aeting, held at the National Liberal Club in Whitehall Place, and atiended by about 150 members, dwltonthe melancholy events of the past year. Rhodesia's declaration of independente, the British Government's slow reactionto events, lack of willingness to direct them away from the entrenchment of eventual (legal?) white minority rule, the coming to such dubious indepisddece of Botswana and Lesoto, the entry to power of Ithe strong man bf South Africa, Mr Vorster-all these events were raised in the addresses made to menoers by Thoma. Kelioch, Q C, retiring chairman. and S. Abdul, the secretary.
