ter King and his cabinet are con- ferring on ways and means to up the Dominion-Provincial con- ference which re-opens a week from todayrin Ottawa. Premiere of the nine ovlnces have indicated they will be in the capital on or before April 25, some of them being accompanied by their Attorneys- General and Provincial Treasurers.

A source close to the Prime Min- iswr said today that the conference oouldbewoiuidu inthreedasif the dominion an provincial eucl- ers would agree on a mutually sat- isfactory formula, but added, t can also blow up in one day."

It is unlikely, officials snid that Mr. King and the Provincial Prem- iers will aocept the suggestion of CF. Fraser, managing editor oi the Halifax Chronicle, made two weeks ago in Ottawa, that the con- clu sessions of the parioy be thrown to the press and the gener- al public. The feeling in Federal circles is that despite charges of ‘censorship-mindedness" hurled at the principals. plenary sessions would lead more easi to acrimon- ious dispute than those held in camera.
