Curtin’s Personal Majority Soars
(Received 2 p.m.) (Special) SYDNEY, This Day. Latest figures show that Mr. Curtin polled 34,304 votes against 18,456 polled by his two opponents. Nothing better indicates the smashing success of his Government than this result in Mr. Curtin’s own constituency of Fremantle, where three years ago he had a hard fight to win by 641 votes. Mr. Curtin, in an interview, said that the people broadly endorsed his administration at a period when the nation was in grave peril. He deeply appreciated this demonstration of confidence and all members of the Government twould do their utmost to justify the trust reposed in them. Mr. Menzies’ seat is safe, though his majority is reduced.
