He called for a Big Four meeting on German reunification and an immediate end to German occupation.

Before entering the cabinet chamber. Mr. Duplessis told news- paper man he will make no fur. ther comment on the talks for a few days. - There was some speculation that he will outline at his weekly press conference Friday the proposals he made to Mr. er. Laurent Tuesday to settle a long dispute over ten- tion policies. Following thrmeetlng, Mr. Du- plsuis said the proposals could bring about I new federal-provirn cial conference on taxation. Mr. st. Laurent said the proposals may necessitate some revision of exist- ing fsderal - provincial taxation agreements.

Mendes - France's political op- ponenfs were hard at work Wed- nesday spreading the view that he gave away much more in London than he got. LEFT WING WAVEIIB Most of the wavering votes are on the left-wing side of the as- sembly and there Mendes-France must use all his persuasive powers. Theil00-strong Communist del- egates undoubtedly will vote solidly against the plan. But the Socialists are divided. Some are criticizing the London agreement because it fails to pro- vide a E u r a pa a n parliament. Others feel the British pledge to keep troops on the Continent until 1998 outweighs this. An opponent of the agreement, former cabinet minister Maurice Schumann, a strong advocate of EDC, is expected to argue on the assembly floor that the papers signed by Mendes-France in Lon- don mean the resurrection of an autonomous. independent German army.

When he speaks in the confer- ence on foreign affairs, Eden will be able to claim he has kept the government a jump ahead of party thinking, and he can point to the principal resolution before the con- ference on West Germany as proof. That resolution states it is "es-s sentlal to the security of wartern Europe that western Germany should take her place as a sover- ign state and should make her full contribution to the NATO do- fence system." since both these goals now are virtually reached, today's debate is more likely to turn into a poem of praise for Eden.
