FOR PRESS: PM. No. 37/ 1968
DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM ANDERSON
Tribute by the Prime Minister, Mr John Gorton
The sudden death of Sir William Anderson the Honorary
Federal Treasurer of the Liberal Party is a great loss for the Party,
for me and for all of his many friends and colleagues in the political
field. He was a great Liberal, one of the architects of the
Liberal Party in 1949 which has done so much for Australia, and
organisationally was a key man in the party. He will be sadly missed.
To Lady Anderson, my wife and I and members of the
Federal Parliamentary Liberal Party extend our deepest sympathy.
CANBERRA, March, 1968
