Once again wo are being asked by the Australian Council of Churches to give our financial support to the Christmas Bowl of Remembrance

I commend the Appeal which every year for the past fifteen years has brought help to the needy in a wide variety of ways and in many  parts of the world.

The hungry, the homeless, the sick have benefited from a warm charity which ignores national boundaries and notes neither colour nor creed.

P. M. No. 82/ 1963

I deeply regret that illness should have made it necessary for Mr. Macmillan to retire from an office in which he has served his country and the cause of international peace with great devotion and distinction.

A man of rare scholarship, great talent and unchallengeable personal integrity, Harold Macmillan has set a great example of unselfish public service.  He must have a secure place in British history.
