He said the offer was made merely to catch the eye of the press and radio, and that the federal government did not have the facts on which to base ill of- fer.

The l945 proposals. he said, also were put forward without sufficient facts on which to base a decision.

Mr. Drew said it is not generally known that he himself initiated the 1945 conference through a let- ter in January. 1944, to the then prime minister Mackenzie King urging a federal-provincial con- ference on post-war planning.

AGREEMENT NOT REACHED

He said the only reason agree- ment was not reached was that the conference was adjourned in- definitely and the federal govern-. mant refused to meet again with the provinces. Instead. it had made a unilatwal offer of its terms for a tax agreement.

The government now was trying to confuse Canadians as to whether it still supports the 1945 proposals.
