iriister Ilsley reveals.

(YITAWA, Nov. 6 —(CP) —1"inhn- cial contributions to Canada's war effort, through taxes. have sent the country's tax revenue in the first seven mbflths of the current fiscal year well past the total of the en- tire fiscal year of 1940-41. Finance Minister Ilsley told the House of Commons today.

Hearing a review of the Domin- ion’s financial position with par- ticular reference to the war the members learned that war expen- ditures have been rlsin steadily and are expected to cont nue to rise- more rapidly.

Agreements with the provinces, under which, they will fonegc in- come and corporation taxes for the duration of the war are expected to be completed within a few weeks. Mr. Ilsley stated. The provinces will be reimbursed bv the amount which they collected last year.

During the first half of the fiscal year Canada spent $496.000.000 on war expenditures.

The last budget indicated total war ex endltures would amount to someth between the 81.300.000.- 000 already appropriated for the fiscal year arid the 81.450.000.000 “rich was the total of the mated depart-mental expenditures, the minister recalled. .

Beyond this an amount of some $800,000,000 to $000.000.000 would be required to enable Britain to purchase food, raw materials and munitions in Canada.

‘The rate of war expenditure has been rising and is expected to rise rapidly in the second half of the year," w. Ilsley said.

“At the present time I can only express the view that we will ex- ,ceed the appropriation of $1.800.000.- 000, but it is still too far from the end of the fiscal year to make a precise estimate of how much that excess will be. In the new session

The meeting will decide whether a nation-wide convention be tsailcd to select a. national leader for the Party and if so the time and oiace.

The proposal that Rt. Hon. Ar- thur Mcighen, Conservative leader m the Senate, be persuaded to u- cept the national leadershl until the war was over is much d ussed. It: would entail Mr. Melghen ie- sigiiing from the Senate and c.011- testing a. constituency for a. seat in the House of Commons,

‘When seen tonight by the Cana- dian Press Senator Meiglien de- clined to comment but gave the im- pression that he did not take over the leadership job.

There was also a report that Pre-

tobafs coalition government. nad been sounded out as to whether he would accept the leadership if it were offered to him.

While no one has authority to make a definite pro sal on behalf of the party it was elieved one or more prominent Conservatives talk- ed it over with Mr. Bracken and he promised to give them an an- swer.

Meanwhile Conservatives whose names have been mentioned from time to t as candidates for the leadership have arrived in Ottawa.
