Following hero is a spooch made
in the United States Senate fast
week by Virginia Senator Har
ry Byrd Jr. Byrd reminded the
nation, as well as his colleagues
in the senate of the grave posi
tion that American duplicity has
placed our nation Insofar as this
particular matter is concerned.
Following here is the entire text
of Senator Byrd's speech. .
Last Thursday at the United
Nations, Great Britain remind
ed the members that it is auth
orized to use force if necessary
to halt oil shipments to Rho
desia.
Lord Caradon, tjie chief Brit
move
g&Wflp-v-v.v V- :V
C^Ls on : tbe United
Government to
rnent of oil —
To Rhodesia — by force if
necessary.
Yes, Lord Caradoo was on
sound ground when he told the
Security Council last week that
its resolution of April 9, 1968,
directs Britain to use force to.
prevent the shipment of oil to
Rhodesia.
Article 5 of the Security Ooun
al resolution reads as fbHows:,
'Calls upon the Government of
Sreat Britain to prevent by the
ise of force if necessary the ar
rival at Beira, Mozambique, of
teasels reasonably believed to
>e carrying oil destined for
Ihodesia.”
Lord Caradon’s letter drama
lies just how serious a predica
ment the United States has got
into In its unwise and un
Arid one of the most foolish acts
this Nation has ever undertaken.
In November 1965, the U. S.
Ambassador to the United Na
tions actively supported the
the United Nations’ resolution
condemning Rhodesia as “a
threat to international peace and
security” and calling on the Se
curity Council to take steps to
put an end to Rhodesian inde
pendence.
-Pursuant to that resolution,
our Government severed diplo
matic ties with the Smith govern
ment, and called for a voluntary
boycott of Rhpdesian products.
These voluntary sanctions
caused great hardships on the
Rhodesian people, but they did
not succeed in forcing the down
fall of the Smith government.
So the next step was the Coun
cil’s resolution of April 9, 1966,
calling on the Government of
Great Britain to use force to pre
vent the movement of oil to
a step the British Goy
so far has not taken
now plans to dse.
boyoottof 1
1966, to consider the next log
ical step — the imposition of
mandatory economic sanctions
under article 41 of the United
Nations Charter.
The U. S. Ambassador again
actively supported this meas
ure, assuring the Council that
the United States would, to use
tiis words, “apply the full force
>f our law to implementing this
iecision.”
The Council voted to invoke
uticle 41 — the first such vote,
ind the only such vote, for
nandatory sanctions in the his
ory of the United Nations.
The United States promptly
emptied. President Johnson is
ued an Executive order on Jan
uary 5, 1967, declaring it to be
l criminal offense for any Am
rican to engage in the import
f a wide range of Rhodesian
roducts, and several restricting
J. S. exports to that country.
Still, it did not bring about
be down-fall of the Smith gov
rament.
So, on Wednesday, July 31,
968, the President of .the Unit
d States issfH Executive Or
to dose
ful country of Rhodesia by barr
ing all U. S. imports from and
exports to that country.
The order also prohibits air
craft or vessels under U.S. reg
istration or under charter to a
U.S. citizen from carrying cargo
orginating in or destined to be
delivered to Rhodesia.
Additionally, the order prohib
its the operation of U. S. air
planes to or from Rhodesia, and
it bars the transfer of funds to
or from Rhodesia.
That action was taken nearly
2 months ago, yet the Smith gov
ernment still ha s not been
brought to its knees.
So what is the situation today?
The United Nations under the
eadership of Great Britain and
Jie Untied States 'ha.g already:
One, instituted a voluntary boy
cott of Rhodesia which has prov
ed a failure. >'
Two, declared a mandatory
xeycott of all imports and ex
xxrts to that couniry. This, too,
las proved a failure.
