jointly with Sir Alec Douglas-Home as President of the
British Exhibition. Aust'alia 1964+, and I am looking forward
to opening the Exhibition in Sydney in September. My colleague,
the Minister for Trade and Industry, has agreed to be Vice-

This will be the first British Exhibition to be
held in any Commonwealth country and it will be the most
ambitious British venture of its kind ever attempted anywhere.
This is very gratifying.
The objectives of the Exhibition, and its
associated activities are to demonstrate and strengthen the
close ties which exist between Australia and Britain, Those
are indeed worthy objectives which I warmly commend9 I wish
