OTTAWA (CP)-Csnada is go- ing to renegotiate its potato tariff agreement with the United States probably attempting to have the present seasonal Canadian tarifi extended over the full year.

J. Watson MacNaught. parlia- mentary assistant to Fisheries Minister Sinclair, disclosed in the Commons Wednesday that the government applied for permis- slon to seek revision in the tariff from the General Agleement on Tariffs and Trade.

He said the GATT organization has given Canada the permission required since the Canada-U.S. potato tariff a... meat comes un der GATT. I

Mr. MacNaught, Liberal meni- ber for the Prince Edward Island constituency of Prince. added:

if hope that the experts of Can- ada and the Unletd States, if they have not already done so, will get together and try to work out a more equitable tariff alrangement on potatoes going between Canada and the United States."

The government move follows representations from Canada's po- tato industry far several years calling for a higher tariff on Am- erican potatoes.
