<br />220 <br /> <br />position, that Congress should net at any time, now or horeaftor, intor- <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />foro with such Ylorks as you havo describod, or thCJ maintenanco of them, <br /> <br />At <br /> <br />and .1 should like to reoord my voto here as "no" on giving to Congress <br /> <br />rm:y opport1.mity to reta:in to itsolf the right to do these things. If I <br /> <br />c;mlt get the cooperation of t.he commission, as I have eaid, i.t is not rrry <br /> <br />present :intention to dostroy tho pact. <br />. <br /> <br />1m. mRERSON: It soems to me whother or not this reservation io made, <br /> <br />this will be votod out, and you can depond upon ihe legislatures of mest <br /> <br />of those states will f:inally adopt the idea that naviGation shan bo sub- <br /> <br />servient, but it does seem desirable to have that first clause nhoreby it <br /> <br />would not beneoessary to send this baek to every state to be ratified if <br /> <br />Congress reservos that right, - it is simply the case of a safety devico; <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />but :in addition it does not preclude that thinE, from be:ine; absolutoly con- <br /> <br />sidered on its merUs. <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />1m. HOOVBR: It is not a qaestion of destroying, it i.s a quostion of <br /> <br />:insiduously prevGnt:ine; nGW works, becausG the burGaus would simply ,call <br /> <br />up and say line never have desired anything like' that." <br /> <br />MR. CALDVIELL: Judge Davis, in his r.emarlcs just nov! said it nas <br /> <br />improbable that ConGTess would wUhhold assent, nUh which I agree. As <br /> <br />, <br />I say, Mr. Chairman, I don't care to burden the record with lnany remarks <br /> <br /> <br />from me on this proposition. I shall be as agreeable as I can after I <br /> <br />have voted. <br /> <br />HR.. CARPENTBR: The elimination of .this paragraph puts the compact <br /> <br />back for further action by the states. <br /> <br />1m. DAVIS: In order to get the poll, I move the paragraph stand as <br />at present presented. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />lilR. NORVIEL: Which one is that? <br /> <br />MR. DAVIS: Article 4, paragraph a, as vie have it in this draft. <br />
