Dec. l9 (OP) -— Following i; the text of the Dec. 18 letter from Premier Angus l... Mac- dnnsld to Prime Minister Macken- zie Klrig respecting financial ag- reements between the Nova Scotla and Dominion governments: The government of Nova Sootia has considered your letter of Dec- ember 14th. I‘: the budget proposals the Do- minion govrnmeni. made threg spe- cific requests of the provinces. namely that they retire from the fields of personal income tax. cor- poration tax and succession duties. The government of Nova Sootla agreed to all three requests. Hav- ing done all that the Dominion government asked us to do. we note with great regret. that the requests which we made and which we thought were modest and reason- a-ble in character. were only partly met by the Dominion authorities. When your letter reached me on Monday evening last, I first thought of replying item by item to the points you made. In view, however. of what I shall state later, I do not now intend to follow this course. This is not to say that I find mWBlf in agreement with your letter. On the contrary I disagree with much of it and in particular with the attitude of the Dominion government. in refusing u; sgrgg to annual Dominion-Provincial con- p“; good ferenccs and to retire from the 11:51:“ 8y 1M“ would u“ _ d ' .

The movement began in November. 1945, but, undoubtedly. the great- est departure from the original position was taken on June 21th last in the budget. speech. 'I'here. the social security measures of -t.he original proposals were aban- doned, for the time being and the principle of dealing with in- dividual provinces, instead of with all the provinces in a gcnerni Wllfefclltic. was adopted. Since the budget speech. there have been still further departures from the old ground. Agreements have been entered into with certain provinces. or. at all events, offers have been made to certain prov- inces bv the Dominion which, either by themselves or through the effect of collateral agreements, make basic change: in the plans advanced by the Dominion government to the Provinces as a whole and which pu-i certain provinces in a position more fsvotralbie than is likely to result. for other provinces. I-t. may be said that the agreements made or proposed with the provinces have an “escape? clause or a ‘most favored province" climse under which one province will benefit. from any special treatment accord- ed to another province. Such s clause, however, would appear to apply only lo matters involved dir- ectlv in a Dominion-Provincial agreement. properly so-calied, and not to collateral agreements that might be made as to other matters. l kYWWlPdge beyond newspaper re- ports of the arrangements made with or offered to other provinces since the conference of May last.

Bracken Dominion, if an agreement that is fair to both parties can be reach- ed. and I feel that every province entertains this view. In view of the changes that have developed in the whole position since August 1945. and of the vary- lng character of the offers made ho and the suggestions made by dif- ferent provinces. it has occurred to me that the Dominion might now be prepared to put. forward revised proposals, it being the only 120V"!!- ment that. now has all the facts 0f tho matter before it. In your letter to me you say that up to now you have been following the budsel» proposals, that they have proved the most practical method of mak- ing constructive progress. and that you do not, sec any ground for be- lieving that; greater progresg could be made at a general conference now than was r ible in May last.
