UITAWA. A l. 20 -- (CPl— Acceptance of ederal pro ails to the Provincial Governmerl s would mean that‘ the latter would become “annuitants of Ottawa". Premier Angus L. Macdonald of Nova Scotis today told the Decathlon-provincial Conference.

He predicted that acceptance by the Provinces of the Domini cf- fera would mean that “prosllnclai autonomy would be gone. provin- cial ind ndence would v~nish. provincis dignity would disappear. provincial governments would be. come the annuitants of Ottawa and provincial public life would bo- come debased and degraded,”

“I cannot think." he said. "that such s state l‘: desired by the Dc- nainion or by the people of Can- a a.'

The pr , ll, if ado would mean that only two fie ds of tax- ation would be left to his Prov-

If Nova Scotia should accept the DUlTIlPIIOTUS proposals on income tax. corporation tax and succession duties it would ask tha Dominion to vacate the gasoline. amusement. electricity and psri-mutuei tax fields and to agree not to enter any new fields of direct taxation.

The Nova Scotia brief criticized the Dominica's proposals as being almost entirely fiscal and paying too little attention to the orn- stituticnai problem which was

OTTAWA. April 29-(CP)—Pi-c- mier J. B. McNeil" of New Bruns- wick said today that Dominic-n proposals to the Dominion-Provin- cial Conference were "still inade- quate, primarily because of the omission of any plsn to provide for the more needy provinces supple- mentary grants based on their fin- ancial circumstances."

He was the fourth provincial Premier to. speak in reply to this morning's statement by Prime Minister Macken ie King.

Mr. McNair said New Brims- wick's original views at the open- ing of the conference last August were "consistent with the broad principles which underlie and sup- ort the proposals of the Domin- on Government."

He suggested modiii-caiions of the Dominlon‘s proposed financial arrangements and said that. sub- ject to these. "we are reparetl to a commend to our Leg slature the acceptance of the Dominion pro- Ifllfl." .

But. in as in; this. he still felt "other modi lcations are desirable i; the general interest." New

runewlck’s views on these "will be presented if. and when. the work of the conference is resumed at the committee level."

lobes for "Better Scheme”

"The Government o-f New Bruns- wick feels that for the three-year eriod of the proposed agreements he hands of our nation will be strengthened through the co-oper- ation which has been under study." he said. “Time and experi- ence may evolve a better scheme. Against that possibility and sub- fect to the modifications su geated we are prepared to give. t a Do- minion rosrern a trial.
