Leo Cardwell Ross
Leo Cardwell Ross (24 July 1910 – 1975) served as Secretary for Information, Immigration and Tourism in the Rhodesian Government from 1965 through to 1972 when he retired due to ill health.
==Overview==
Ross was one of the trusted senior advisors to Prime Minister Ian Douglas Smith attending the talks with the British Government in Gibraltar aboard HMS Fearless in 1969. He was one of the two primary drafters of the Rhodesian Proclamation of Independence (Unilateral Declaration of Independence) and in recognition was granted one of fourteen copies which were countersigned by the original signatories. Notably copies for Leo Ross and Mr David William ICD, (Deputy Director of Information) were not signed by Minister William Harper who was later dismissed when he was discovered to be a mole for the British Government (Harper was the only signatory to the Proclamation not to be awarded the Independence Decoration).
As Secretary of Information Ross was responsible for implementing and maintaining press censorship between 1966 and 1969 when according to Rhys Meyer (editor of the ''Rhodesia Herald'' newspaper) he brokered a deal with the press to lift the censorship. As head of Immigration he promoted an active policy to attract qualified trades and professional people to Rhodesia, using the Ministry of Information to develop recruiting materials and films. Ross redefined the National Tourist Board and the Hotel Board to create international demand for the quality resorts developed around Victoria Falls, Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe Ruins (now referred to as Great Zimbabwe). Tourism and Immigration continued to grow through 1973 when following terrorist incidents, including the shooting of a tourist at Victoria Falls by guerrillas from the Zambian side, tourism began to decline.
The significance of his role during the Rhodesian Government was such that he was one of only seven civil servants to be awarded both the Independence Decoration (ID) and the Grand Officer of the Legion of Merit (GLM). There were also only six cabinet ministers who were awarded both medals.
