The days that Governors-General exercised significant power, or even participated in negotiations between the Australian and British governments, had now passed, but Gowrie set a precedent in 1938, when he toured the <a href="/wiki/Netherlands_East_Indies" class="mw-redirect" title="Netherlands East Indies">Netherlands East Indies</a> at the invitation of the colonial administration. That was the first time that a Governor-General had represented Australia abroad. </p><p>In April 1939 Lyons died suddenly and Gowrie commissioned <a href="/wiki/Earle_Page" title="Earle Page">Sir Earle Page</a>, the leader of the <a href="/wiki/National_Party_of_Australia" title="National Party of Australia">Country Party</a>, as caretaker Prime Minister until Lyons' <a href="/wiki/United_Australia_Party" title="United Australia Party">United Australia Party</a> could choose a new leader. This was the only circumstance in which the Governor-General still had some personal discretion. </p><p>Gowrie's political skills were tested again after the 1940 election. The Coalition lost its majority, leaving the UAP Prime Minister, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Menzies" title="Robert Menzies">Robert Menzies</a>, dependent on the votes of independents <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Wilson_(Australian_politician)" title="Alexander Wilson (Australian politician)">Alexander Wilson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Coles" title="Arthur Coles">Arthur Coles</a> to stay in power. When the UAP forced Menzies out as leader, it was so bereft of leadership that Country Party leader <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Fadden" title="Arthur Fadden">Arthur Fadden</a> was named Prime Minister, even though the UAP was the senior coalition partner. However, Wilson and Coles were so outraged at how Menzies had been treated that they joined <a href="/wiki/Australian_Labor_Party" title="Australian Labor Party">Labor</a> in voting against Fadden's budget and brought the government down. Gowrie was reluctant to call an election for a Parliament just over a year old, especially given the international situation. However, he saw no alternative unless Labor leader <a href="/wiki/John_Curtin" title="John Curtin">John Curtin</a> had enough support to govern. Gowrie's therefore summoned the two independents to <a href="/wiki/Government_House,_Canberra" title="Government House, Canberra">Yarralumla</a> and made them promise that if he commissioned Curtin as Prime Minister, they would support him and end the instability in government. The independents agreed, and Gowrie duly appointed Curtin. After some initial uneasiness perhaps inevitable with two such contrasting characters, the vice-regal aristocrat and the tough ALP boss got on well. </p><p>During the Second World War, Gowrie saw it as his duty to support the government, the <a href="/wiki/British_Empire" title="British Empire">British Empire</a>, and the troops.
