Leader sir no fool sir Alec Douglas Home has called a general elec Tion in Britain for oct. 15. What sort of a Man is sir Alec the following article by John Grigg is an attempt to Analyse the character of Britain s prime minister. Or. Grigg the former lord Altrincham is a writer for the guardian by John Grigg London special the guardian sir Alec Doug Las Home is not As simple As he looks. The archaic Apollo smile conceals More than it gives away. For All his apparent Artles Ness and Candor the prime minister is quite a master of ambiguity. Whereas the Unior. Innate r. A. Butler s ambiguity has Long been a by word sir Alec s almost unnoticed. He has succeeded where or. Butler Lias failed in being All things to All men. He is proud of his descent from the great lord Dur Ham and he claims that it was Lloyd Georgej s career which inspired him to enter politics. Yet his first political Patron was Neville Chamberlain who hated Lloyd George with a consuming hatred. Did he Ever Tell Chamberlain How much he admired he was a supporter of appeasement in the thirties and he strongly opposed the Yalta agreement yet it was Churchill who first gave him ministerial office appointing him what is More to a Junior Post in the foreign office. Lord Avon promoted him to the Cabinet in 1955, at a time when hardly any other government changes were made. Harold Macmillan found him quite willing to step into lord Salisbury s shoes when the latter resigned in 1957. As foreign Secretary however he re ingratiate himself with the fight Wing by his comments on the United nations. Gets Rivard though he approved or. Macmillan s european policy he left the Brussels negotiations to be conducted and the odium to be collected by Edward Heath. In october of last year his Subtle and unobtrusive tech Nique was rewarded with the party leadership. As Leader he remains the Darling of the faithful stick in the mods on the Back benches while he strides towards the Hust Ings As the apostle of modernization. Clearly he is a Man of no Ordinary political gifts. While he is technically a Complete Amateur in every sphere of government except foreign affairs in the general Art of politics he is a hard boiled professional. All the same he is Well Content that silly people should regard him As the Dis interested aristocrat yearn in g for the Freedom of his ancestral acres but kept in Public life by an Over master ing sense of duty. It must particularly amuse him that he was widely credited with making a big sacrifice when lie was in fact realizing the ambition of a life time. In personal relations sir Alec scores heavily being As Nice As it is possible to be without becoming weak and As ruthless As it is possible to be without losing the cachet of a Christian gentle Man. Everybody likes him. Even Iain while refusing to serve under him. Felt it necessary to say that there was no one in Public life for whom he had More admiration and respect. Old problem any Leader of the tory party has to make a show of reconciling the landed interest the traditional basis of the party with tile so called new men. The problem is not at All a recent one it has existed since the Early 19th Century. Sir Alec is profoundly con genial to the traditionalists and he has also made him self acceptable to the mod Ern technocrats. It is unlikely that sir Alec will Ever be an outstanding Leader since he lacks the originality the vision and the panache. But he May Well prove to be a capable Harmonizer of More talented colleagues in the manner of the second lord Liverpool. Liverpool was prime min ister without interruption from 1812 until his health broke finally in 1827. During this time he held the bal Ance most skilfully Between reactionary and progressive forces. He was the prime minister of Peter Loo and the six acts but it was also under his premiership that Peel Canning and Huskisson started the first of Many Waves of new Tor ism. Experienced in foreign affairs he saw the War against Napoleon through to its triumphant conclusion and he was Wise and mod Erate in his peace Aims. But his name does not Shine like Castlereagh a in the pages of history. Lack ing Star Quality he was nevertheless endowed with qualities which the stars did not possess. Fits sir Alec the dictionary of nation Al biography account of Liverpool owns him to have been neither an impressive orator nor a great states but refers to his consummate his infallible instinct for the practical solution of and his unfailing the description would fit sir Alec. If he wins the election he will enjoy an excessive pres Tige and his position As Leader of the party will be unassailable. But even if he loses he will not be easy to shift from the party Leader ship. He has More taste for the Job than Arthur Balfour and a less quixotic nature than Austen Chamberlain. Contrary to the myth he has no absorbing interests outside politics. A Man who is tenacious As Well As likeable is More plot proof than even the Cleverest Nasty Man and a conspicuous non intellectual has a distinct Edge in mod Ern English politics. It will not at All Surprise me if sir Alec is still Lead ing the tory party a decade from now.
