"I feel inadequate," he said in a recent speech, referring to "the prospect of trying to fill the "ghoes of the late Mr. Howe. * It's a modest self-appraisal by a man who in 16 years of top jobs in the federal civil Service made a mark as a lead- ing economist and negotiator at international bargaining tables. Mr. Sharp has set himself a 'lofty large: "Doing everything' "possible to try to achieve a re- 'duction in international bar- Tiers to trade." "It is one of the most imper- tant things that could be done," be said in an interview. 'That's "why I'm happy I was appoirited "trade minister." Mr. Sharp, a Winnipegger who marked his 52nd birthday May li, is a relative newcomer to politics. He is proud of being a politician but insists on being a courteous one. _NO POLITICAL ENEMIES . After his April 8 election vic- tory in Toronto Eglinton, the one-time stronghold of Conserv- ative Justice Minister Donald , Fleming who was retiring from public life, Mr. Sharp startled some partisan Liberals with his suggestion that a senior gov- ernment post be found to fit . Mr. Fleffiing's talents. "T still think this is the way »t conduct politics," he said afterwards. "You don't look on people in the opposite party as your enemy.' His suggestion was all the » more notable in the light of the , all-out election battle between him and Mr. Fieming in 1962) . when he slashed the Conserva- tive cabinet minister's 1958 ma- jority of more than 19,000 votes to a scant 760. The red - haired Mr, Sharp, , whose prominent features are a firm,.-chisel-like jaw and ready smile, could have had an easier constituency for his first foray: into active politics. But as a newcomer, he said, ~*T felt I should undertake a Feally difficult task and if I could win it, it would give me some standing among the politi- cians." Mr, Sharp didn't win in 1962 but he gained political stature. His election this year--with an ~ eventual 8,235-vote lead -- and "his entry into the Liberal cabi- net almost a certainty. As trade minister, Mr .Sharp will be making some of the ma- r policy decisions in the new iberal government. His view "ot the role 'of government is ~. that it should be cautious--but sot reluctant--to act. "T'm inclined to be cautious, looking very carefully at the implications of various propos- als and not jumping quickly into things." He's not opposed to the idea of government intervention in _ the economy. "I just want to be sure these things will ac- "complish what they are sup- posed to." He also wants to see an ef- fective, practical expansion of , social welfare measures, such as medical care, help for the unemployed and a workable _-plan of retirement pensions. "When I was young, I saw . first-hand the results of unem- ployment and the lack of -- security."

Along the way he learned \Spiano-playing and a love of music, "serious, not jazz," that is his one special hobby. In 1942 he was asked to come to Ottawa by Deputy Finance +, Minister Clifford Clark, a man "he recalls as "one of the most influential public servants we " ever had." For nine years Mr. Sharp was in the finance department, first as an assistant to Mr. Clark, later as director of the economic policy division.
