CONGRATULATIONS TO NEW C. P. LEADERS
Commentby the Prime Minister, Mr. John Gorton
My warmest congratulations to Mr. Anthony on his election
as Leader and to Mr. Sinclair on his election as Deputy Leader of
the Country Party.
Mr. Anthony is a worthy successor to Sir John McEwen, and
I am sure that under the new leadership there will be a continuation of
the special relationship that has been a feature of the coalition for so
many years.
