<br /> <br />my thought was this that \,re provide a term-_ <br /> <br />MR. CALD\'!E1L: You spoke of a term of yeurs ? <br /> <br />MR. CARPLrITER: I spoke of a term of years, and that it <br /> <br />should continue thereafter until a call by four States. From <br /> <br />the time the call by four is made all rights are to remain <br /> <br />in suspension, - that is from the time of the call until they <br /> <br /> <br />are settled between the states by another compact. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: Suppose one state had a lono grievance, then, <br /> <br /> <br />under the call by four members, there would be no method <br /> <br />securing a meeting. I am just wondering whether or not a <br /> <br />conference should not be fixed, that is, if after a certain <br /> <br />length of time that on notice of anyone state there should be <br /> <br />a conference. That does not oblige any state to agree on a new <br /> <br />compact, but at least gives the aggrieved state its proper <br /> <br />hearing. <br /> <br />MR. S. B. DAVIS: Of course" i,t is like an amondment to a <br /> <br />state constitution. Thore are state constitutions automatically <br /> <br />calling for a revision after a certain poriod of years, and a <br /> <br />reconsideration and possible amendments. On the other hand a <br /> <br />majority of the constitutions co~tain no such provision. Never- <br /> <br />theless, conventions for amondments are called, and called <br /> <br />frequently. <br /> <br />MR. CALD':!EL.'o: T'hoy all contain provisions providing for <br /> <br />a call. <br /> <br />HR. NOH.VIE~w: Hay I offer a, suggestion, that in every form <br /> <br />of draft that I helVe undertaken up to this time I have bElen un- <br /> <br />able to get away from the idea that there sho\ud be a definite <br />14th-S.F, <br />14 <br />160 160 <br /> <br />
