Mr. Thatcher, en route to Eu- rope for a combined business and holiday trip, said nothing was resolved in the 65-minute meeting. However, he said he is hope- ful the federal government; would reconsider its proposal and not deprive Saskatchewan of sorely needed revenue. "Mr. Sharp has assured me} he will meet with his colleagues and do his best to put our po-} sition forwards," the premier} said in an interview. ' Talk Mr. Thatcher complained at a provincial premiers confer- ence here two weeks ago when ©] the proposed formula was dis- closed. As outlined then, the province would lose its present equalization grant of $35,000,000 which is said to be about one- eighth of its total revenues. At the conference, Saskatch- ewan officials said no province should receive less in equaliza- tion payments under a new for- mula than it receives under the one which expires March 31, 1967. Mr. Sharp, who drove from his cottage near Beaverton, 50 miles north of Toronto, de- scribed the meeting as a useful exchange of views. "T told him that the federal government had not reached a final position on equalization payments," Mr. Sharp said.
