Rhodesia Dominated London Talks LONDON (CP) = There has never before been a Common-! wealth conference like the one scheduled to end today. Veteran diplomats recalled that issues of deep significance have in the past caused divi- sions among Commonwealth leaders. But no one topic had dominated any previous full- scale meeting in the. way Rho- desia monopolized the 16th prime ministers' conference. A review showed that by Wed- nesday. night the 22 Common- wealth leaders meeting here managed to turn to. matters other than Rhodesia for a total of only five hours and 40 min- utes in nine days. This isnot even counting al- most endless jaw-jaw-jaw over Rhodesia in countless informal 'meetings and hotel-room = ses- sions among the 22 delegations. True, the last Commonwalth prime ministers' conference, held in Lagos, Nigeria, in Jan- uary, was all about Rhodesia. But that three-day meeting was called specifically to discuss the rebellious territory -- the first such conference dealing with a single political issue.

He warned that his govern- ment will move unilaterally to bring about a 'two - nation" state unless an acceptable fis- cal agreement is reached. He mentioned the convening of a constituent assembly in Quebec to draft a new constitution and a provincial referendum as pos- sibilities, The premier submitted sweep- ing proposals to transfer many federal tax fields and federal spending programs to the prov- inces, clashing head-on with a statement by Finance Minister Sharp that such transfers must be ended to preserve a strong central government. Despite the conflict of philo- sophies, Mr, Johnson told re- '}porters he was still hopeful of an agreement after long. nego- tiations, The premier again jokingly compared the conference with a hockey game in which he is leading the French - Canadian "nation" against the federal team, Asked how far the game progressed Wednesday, he shot back: "We've just finished singing O Canada. Nobody blew his top," He said Mr. Sharp was 86 nd .plilegmatic that he a player, Before the opening session, the Union National leader ac- Mr. Sharp proposed higher equalization payments to Que- bec and other "have-not" prov- inces but rejected provincial de- mands for larger slices of di- rect taxes. At present, Quebec gets 75 per cent of succession duties, 47 per cent of personal income taxes and 12 per cent of cor- poration taxes collected in the province. If. the proposed new federal equalization payments formula were applied this year, the prov- ince would receive an extra $85,800,000, The Quebec brief called for a completely new constitution rec- ognizing equality between the French . speaking and English- speaking "'nations."" A reporter asked Mr. Johnson whether Quebec independence is the only alternative to such equality. "Do you know of any ot alternative" the premier re- plied, The provinces will talk taxes hay | Johnson, Sharp Disagree Over Financial Demands cused Mr. Sharp of taking a paternalistic attitude toward the provinces, ignoring the division of powers in the British North America Act and failing to offer anything to 'meet the provinces' fast-rising needs, After the meeting he said the English - speaking provincial delegations seemed more inter- ested in getting bigger equaliza- tion payments from Ottawa than in taking over federal tax powers and programs that fall within provincial jurisdiction, "This proves that the nine other provinces are evolving in. to a single nation," he said in French. On the other hand French - Canadians needed a strong Quebec government to preserve their identity. In a 20 ~ page brief to the tax - sharing conference, Que- bec urged the federal govern- ment to yield 100 per cent of personal income taxes and suc- cession duties to the provinces, plus gradually + rising shares of corporation taxes, The brief said this would give Quebec an extra $725,000,000 an- nually within five years, It would enable the province to take over such federal» pro- grams as old age pensions, fam- ily allowances, health. grants, vocational training, job place- ment, municipal loans, regional development and aid for educa- tion, cultural agencies and re- Search, © 122s 'are defined as pro- vinclal responsibilities in the constitution and should be re- turned to the provinces during the next five years, Higher Equalization Share | Offered 'Have - Not' Provinces with the federal government in October, November and perhaps throughout 1967. They see no hope of fast solu- tions to bridge immense differ- ences in tax philosophy between the two levels of government. The three prairie premiers told the federal-provincial tax structure committee Wi it should abandon its attempt to negotiate five - year agree- ments to replace existing agree- ments when they expire next April 1. Prince Edward Island and On- tario also expressed interest in a suggested one-year interim arrangement for sharing taxes with Ottawa. Finance Minister Sharp, how- ever, said the first hours of committee sessions: Wednesday showed that some provinces want to go ahead as soon as possible with a new system. In any case, he -pointediy added, tax agreements in Can- ada never have been settled by federal + provincial conferences. waite NEWS HIGHLIGHT | PM Willing To Explain Medicare Delay LONDON (CP) -- Prime Minister Pearson is willing to call a Liberal party caucus on his return to Canada to explain the government's decision to delay its medicare plan for one year.
