confrontation at conference new form of federalism Basically Ottawa wants to scrap current dollarmatching arrangements for these social welfare programs replacing its share of contributions with mix of cash grants and more taxraising power for the provinces The provinces have basically accepted this principle in united proposal made last week to Mr Macdonald by Alberta Treasurer Merv Leitch Mr Leitch called the prov inces common stand an event of historical significance But that conference founv dered over another provincial proposal to transfer additional taxing power worth about $860 million to the provinces to com pensate for the expiry of sys tem of tax transfers called rev enue guarantees This is the key issue for to days talks The guarantee payments were started as temporary

provincial taxes on Jan in an ticipation of the end of revenue guarantees Mr Macdonald says the prov inces demands for more tax power to compensate for the guarantees are too rich They might prevent
