NEW FEDERAL CABINET
THE SENIORITY LIST MR BRUCE PLACED HIGH. CANBERRA, January 7. The new Cabinet decided to open Parliament on February 17. Mr Lyons announced that Mr Bruce had been given first place in the Cabinet seniority list after himself and Mr Latham. “ His past experience and high qualifications entitle Mr Bruce to a status not usually accorded assistant Ministers,” he said. Mr Lyons denied that Mr Gullett’s appointment as Minister of Trade and Customs would mean the tearing down of the tariff structure. “ The Minister’s task will be to see a tariff framed in the interests of the whole nation, and not of sections.”
