HALIFAX, Nov. d —(CP)-Mogtg "W" "Ill-ll lmvertanec is being at- tached to tomorrow's meeting of the Nova Scotia cabinet by reason of the fact that top item on the agenda ls the Dominion-Provincial financial agreement,

Nova Scotia's wartime taxation agl erne with the Dominion Gov. errlment expires Nov. 30 and Prem- isr AYIBus L. Macdcriiild has reposi- cdly expressed " ppi-oval with certain features of the Federal gov- ernment's proposals for permanent financial settlement. Nova eotia is the iinly Maritime Province which has not signified its intention of entering an agreement with Ottawa on this question.

With less than a month remain- ing before the deadline for tho ex- piration of tihie wartime agreement, it is posible that at tomorrow's meeting Mr. Macdonald may be briefed by li.i.s colleagllts to make another trip to Ottawa and try and reach some sort of a compromise. It is known that Mr. Macdonald had been in correspondence with Prime Minister Mackenzie King on the subject up until a few days ago.

Ho has urged a re-openlng of the T‘ mien-Provincial conference and it is understood that Mr. King has suggested that indications are that such a step would serve no useful purpose.

I is understood that Mr. Kin; has suggested to Mr. Macdonald that agreement be reached on the feder- al~proposals first and details be worked out later. Mr. Macdonald is understood to have advised Mr. King in effect that this is putting the cart before the horse, that he wants the details settled before signing a final draft.

Mr. Macdcnald is known to feel that mt only is there a constitut- ional question of provincial auton- omy involved but also some hard financial bargaining. On the con- stitutional questlon. Mr. Macdonald ls understood to fear the poaiblLty of the Dominica's proposals leading to centralization. As for taxation proposals Mr. Macdonald is be- lieved to ‘be opposed to relinquish- ing tho province's right to collect all the revenue from gasoline and amusements.

Before the Dominion-Provincial Macdonald said accepts-nee of the federal proposals would man l-llfll "provincial autonomy "ould be gone. provincial dignity would uls- appcar, provincial governments would become the annultants of Ot- tawa and provincial public llfe
