I don't expect to see any life there but if others started to settle, I gues I would too. No one should miss the trips after all the work the astro- nauts go through to bring it about." Ron Hughes, 64 Orchard Blvd.: "Yes, I'd go to the moon to learn all about it. Those who don't want to go don't want to learn all about it.

It's some- thing I and most people don't know enough about and I like to know where I'm going. I've always felt this way about it even before the mishaps at Cape Kennedy. In other words, I'm chicken. What if you're between earth and moon and -- bang! It's the uncertainty of such a trip that would make me hesitate."

Mr. Robarts said Ottawa sug- gested at a conference last fall that federal-provincial responsi- bilities be sharply defined "and that each would operate en- tirely within its own realm, re- sponsible for his own taxes." "In other words, they refuse to be the tax collector for pro- vincial requirements. "We submit that this ts dan- gerous to the taxpayer, carry- ing with it the risk of uncon- trolled burden of taxes and an uneven tax system across the country." Mr. Robarts also suggested in the legislature's throne speech debate that the federal govern- ment's attitude is contrary to its purpose "which we support'"' of maintaining "fiscal control and fiscal capacity" ever Can- ada's economy. He said the provinces need a new... form -of tax-sharing ar- rangements to "carry out their responsibilities without excess- ive burdens of taxation or . . jital markets." NEEDS NOT RECOGNIZED These needs were not recog- nized at the federal-provincial conference, he said. The provinces had asked for a larger slice of federal reven- ues.

Earlier, Donald MacDonald, leader of the New Democratic Party, criticized the Progress- ve Conservative government for failing in the throne speech "to state a firm commitment to make ine equality of oppor- Suggested Conference TORONTO (CP) -- Premier Robarts said Wednesday he first suggested an Ontario-con- vened conference on Confedera- tion last September at a fed- eral-provincial conference and since then has received "'by and large a good reaction." Mr. Robarts told the legislat- ure the conference proposed in the throne speech opening the current session would be open to the public and freed of rules limiting free discussion at fed- eral-provincial conferences. The premier rejected an argu- ment by Liberal Leader Robert Nixon that initiative for such a conference should come from Ottawa. "Indeed, it was a meeting of the provinces in 1864 that led to Confederation," he said. The premier said two princi- ples are involved. "The first is that Canadians should decide what' ends they wish to achieve and what ob- jectives or goals they wish to} strive for... . "The second is the belief that it is vitally important that ev- ery Canadian citizen know ex- actly what is happening, and why." Speaking in the throne speech debate, Mr. Robarts said the de- cision to call the conference grew out of closer relationships being built with Quebec. He said Ontario is trying to act as a link between Quebec and the rest of Canada, some- times acting as "an interpreter of English Canada to Quebec and vice versa." The premier said Ontario and Quebec share a common bound- ary and Ontario has the largest number of French-speaking Ca- nadians outside Quebec. Under present circumstances, he felt initiatives in discussions about Confederation would have a better reaction in Quebec if tunity a reality." He said the government has not developed an effective hous- ing program, implemented a comprehensive program of re- gional economic development, taken measures to ensure that the province's economy is de- veloped or replaced welfare programs. with a guaranteed annual income. REJECTS CRITICISM Premier Robarts also turned back opposition criticism that initiative for his proposed con- ference on Confederation should have come from Ottawa, citing the 1864 provincial talks that led to Confederation as his ex- ample. He said he first suggested an Ontario-convened conference on confederation during last Sep- tember's federal provincial talks. Since then he has re- ceived "by and large a good reaction," he said. The conference, proposed in the throne speech opening the current session, involved two principles, Mr. Robarts said. "The first is that Canadians should decide what ends they wish to achieve and what ob- jectives or goals they wish to strive for. . . . The second is the belief that it is vitally im- portant that every Canadian cit- izen know exactly what is hap- pening and why." Decision to call the confer- ence grew out of closer rela- tionships being built with Que- bec, he said. 'When Liberal Leader Robert Nixon suggested initiative should have come from the fed- eral government, the premier said he didn't agree. REFERS TO 1864 "Indeed, it was a meeting of the provinces in 1864 that led to Confederation." He added that he felt initia- tives in discussing Confedera- tion would have a better reac- tion in Quebec if they came from a province rather than from Ottawa.
