March 1961 Dramatic Constitutional Conference Delegates

March 1961 Dramatic Constitutional Conference Delegates arrive at the constitutional conference Ralph Palmer enters the conference room. We were all dubious. The country was panicking. We all prayed the Southern Rhodesia Constitution Conference should succeed. The conference first held in London last December was resumed in Salisbury on January 30 under the chairmanship of Mr Duncan Sandys, Britains Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations. It ended on February 7. This was the first conference to be convened since the colony got self government in 1923, and it was to discuss proposals for amendment of the constitution.
