These are the questions being discussed all over Europe today following the announcement by the Prime Minister, Mr Wilson, that a new British bid will begin with all speed and determination. IV -it SALISBURY, Friday.

Rhodesia's second year of self-declared independence began today with. a long weekend of celebrations ahead and prospects ot a settlement with Britain more remote than ever. I At a lavish ball last night the Rhodesian Prime Minister, Mr Ian Smith, told more than 800 cheering guests: "This is the beginning of a wonderful era."

This would mean imposing high levies on grain imported into Britain from Canada and Australia, and a big increase in food prices in Britain. Most European observers believe that if Britain does not accept the agricultural policy of the Common Market, then Britain has no chance at all of getting ni.
