DEATH OF LORD ATTLEE
Tribute from the Prime Minister, Mr Harold Holt
Lord Attlee had an honoured place in modern history.
He was a political leader whose statesmanship rose above any partisan
allegiance. Practical common sense and wisdom established him
firmly as a leader of the British Labor Party at a cr4tical period of his
nation's history. His wartime co-operation in the Coalition Government
enabled a concentrated national support for the nation's policies, not only
in defence of Britain, but in the cause of freedom throughout the world.
He will be widely mourned as he was widely respected.
