Minister Ian Smith last week raised serious objections to the latest Anglo American plan during a' meet ing Thursday with British For eign Secretary David Owen and American UN Ambassador Andrew Young. The following day, Smith told reporters he had been skeptical before the meeting and was "no more optimistic now." The Rhodesia leader characterized various points in the plan as "crazy," "ill-conceived," and "disastrous," but. he said his cabinet would give the proposals long and care ful consideration." The settlement bleprint reportedly involves the resig nation of the Smith regime and its replacement by an interim government headed by a Bri tish commissioner. Security would be handled initially by a UN peacekeeping force, pro bably with a large Nigerian contingent. Then defense re sponsibilities would be turned Rhodesian army as well. During the period of UN supervision, an electoral pro cess would be set in motion to choose a new government on the basis of one mart, one vote. - Similar to earlier peace packages, the latest Anglo American initiative features a $1 billion Zimbabwe Develop ment Fund as an incentive for the whites to stay after inde pendence. In his Friday press confer ence, Smith criticized the notion of dissolving the Rhode sian army:. He also asked how the British could expect his government to step down before knowing the type of Constitution offered to replace "it. : ... ' 1 The Rhodesian" leader was expected to reject the Angl American proposals, and to proceed instead with his 'in ternal settlement' plan. This most likely involves negotia tions during the coming months with the two nation alist leaders who have dis associated themselves from the over to a new Zimbabwe army , guerrilla : armies; Bishop Mu- based on the guerrilla force of ; zorewa and Ndabaningi Sithole the Patriotic Front but in cluding some elements of the as well as talks with the coun try's traditional tribal chiefs. Both Muzorewa and Sit hole have so far declined to negotiate with Smith. According to British journalist David Martin. Owen believes that escalating guer rilla war' will make an 'inter nal settlement' impossible and that Smith will be forced to reconsider the Angl-American proposals. Writing in the Lon don Observer. Martin says Owen regards the new plan as the actual basis for a Rhodesi an solution and is not willing to alter it except in respect of details. The British Foreign Secretary is forwarding the plan to the UN Security Coun cil for review later this month. It appears that some ad justments must be made, how ever, if the plan is to win African support. A spokes person for the Patriotic Front said in Lusaka last week that the proposals were designed to protect the white minority and give a British commissioner too much power to protect British interests there. , The front-line countries have neither endorsed nor re jected the proposals.
