WILL NOT CO-OPERATE
AUSTRALIAN LABOUR PARTY NO COALITION UNDER MENZIES ißy Telegraph I’re.-d Association— Copyright) Received April 19. 6.5 p.m. CANBERRA, April 19. The Federal Parliamentary Country Party has decided that it will not cooperate in a Coalition Government led by Mr. Menzies, and has issued an ultimation to that effect. It is proposed that a joint meeting of the two parties should be held to elect a Prime Minister, on the understanding that only a member of the United Australia Party should be eligible. It is believed that there is only the slenderest prospect of this proposal being adopted. It is widely expected that a General Election will be necessary shortly.
