In New York, the Zambian Foreign Minister, Mr Simon M. Kapwepwe, said he believed both military force and economic sanctions would be necessary to bring down the rebel minority Government in Rhodesia.

He said at the United

ir Nations after a meeting yests terday with the Secretarys, General (U Thant) that Mr lan Smith’s breakaway Gov-

ernment would eventually be dislodged, but he would not guess when. Mr Kapwepwe said it would

make no difference whether

U.N. forces or others were used to remove the Smith regime. Mr Kapwepwe said he had told U Thant of Zambia’s reaction to the Rhodesian situation and had passed on the result of his talks earlier with Government officials in

London and Washington.
