FOR PRESS RINE MINISILR'S COMMENT ON SlE
ELECTION iRESULTS
The results are by no means final. But
so far, they show that the Government candidates hive
polled well and that our defence policy has certainly
been approved. Our authority, on behalf of the people,
is thus affirmed. lhoat is more important is that we
continue to carry great responsibilities, which it will
be our supreme duty to discharge with energy and clarity
of mind and purpose.
CANBERIA, 7th December, 1964.

FOR PRESS FINAL STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER,
THE RT. HON. SIR ROBERT MENZIES, ON
THE SENATE ELECTION
If Mr. Caiwell were Prime Minister, would he be
prepared to accept the professional advice of his Chiefs of
' taff? He has made it clear during the past few weeks that
he considers it most improper to reject such advice as he
so w-rongly alleged that I did. Jdhat then would he do, having
sought and received the same advice as dia my Government?
Where would he be on a measure of compulsion in providing the
numbers needed by the Army?

The Labour Party has challenged the Government
on Defence Policy. It has made it the issue in the Senate
Election. So I ask: " What is the policy of the Labour Party
on foreign policy and defence?"
No Party can have a foreign policy or a defence

In his opening speech, I notice that Mr. Calwell
covered a groat variety of topics. I thought in effect,
that he repeated his policy speech of the last General
Election. Now, of course, this is not a General Election.
This is a Senate Election, and it is not the occasion for

DEATH OF SENATOR WADE
Statement by the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. Sir Robert
Menzies
Senator Wade's death is a sad blow; he seemed
to be recovering. He was a man of quiet strength of
character, a really first-class Minister and, as a
colleague, uniformly friendly and helpful.
In sending our sympathy to his widow and son,
we would wish them to know that we share their own sense
of loss.

In an earlier broadcast, I disposed of the campaign

whispering, about my alleged imminent retirement from office
after the election.
But Mr. Calwell's tactics do not end there.
Clearly in a straight-out conflict of policies, having
