Rhodesia's Foreign Minister, Mr. Pieter Van Der Byl, said in Geneva on Tuesday (30 November) that his government had not gone to Switzerland to argue the nature of an interim government for Rhodesia during the transition to majority rule, but to set up the first stage of its existence. The Rhodesian delegation has been critical of the amount of time spent discussing possible dates for legal independence for the country. Mr. Van Der Byl also said the Rhodesian delegation had not attended to waste time on peripheral issues.
