It was difficult, when these lines were written, to focus attention on anything other than South Africa. The headlines screamed, the media blared, the politicians shouted. Words of wisdom? Few and far between . . .

Let me start with a simple question: Do we, the West, want a Communist regime in Pretoria, closely linked with the Soviet Union? If we do, then Mr. Ronald Dellums’s disinvestment resolution in the House of Representatives makes sense, as do the Commonwealth Report on South Africa, the statements of the organizers of the UN’s Paris conference on apartheid, and most of the speeches in the House of Commons debate on sanctions.
