FEDERAL POLITICS
COUNTRY PARTY’S ATTITUDE. TO CHALLENGE TARIFFS. SYDNEY, Sunday. Canberra advices report that the Country Party continues to maintain its attitude of aloofness, and may claim recognition as the official Opposition and occupy tho Opposition benches. It will challenge the Government on tariff matters, and is patiently awaiting a statement of policy. The Country Party has 16 members compared with 14 Federal Labour members. It therefore claims to be the largest party outside the Government. In the event of the Beasleyites linking with the Seullin Party, which is regarded as unlikely, will automatically become the official Opposition by virtue of numbers.
