DIFICULT TASF ,

His job is madi ioubly difficult. because he starts without any of the more obvious advantages of his predecessor. a ”middle-of-'he- road man” with a genius for com- promise.

Gaitsltell is an ultra-right-winger. He would not otherwise have won the backing. outside Parliament, of the 5.000.000 trade unionists who represent five-sixths of the party's national strength.

The followers of Bevan rcgard him as their arch-enemy. intract- able enough under Attlee. they usually come to heel if. after a period of unflurried remonstrance, he suddenly got tough. But if At- tlee at times irritated them, Gait- skcll may well infuriate them.

Some parliamentarians believe Gaitskcll will try to impose unity on the Labor movement evcn if it means ruthless knocking off in-ads together to do it.

Will Conrinu For Tariff O

OTTAWA. (Special) Regardless of the Tariff Board's report on the feasibility of a tariff on U. S. potatoes entering Canada, leaders of the potato industry in the Mari- times will continue to press for the imposition of a duty on those shipments both inside the House of Commons and outside it.
