<br /> <br />fixed time for it to run. Now, under this form that .we <br /> <br />are discussing, when its foundation is based upon such in- <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />definite infcrn~tion as we have, it becomes imperative to my <br /> <br />mind that the agreement shall be definitely limited in time, <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />,nlether it be long or short. My notion of it is that that <br /> <br />time should be fixed not too far in the .Dlture. It should be <br /> <br />provided that an extension of this agreement may be made at <br /> <br />the time by the people then living'and ,Tho may be appointed for <br /> <br />the purpose of looking over the same situation that we are now <br /> <br />viewing in the light of the further inforr.~tion and the new <br /> <br />conditions that Hill prevail at that time or, instead of <br /> <br />extending, they may revise it. And that time should be a time <br /> <br />positive, and not contingent upon the call of one or four <br /> <br />states. It ,~s suggested by our Chairman, and I think, in a <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />way, a good suggestion it may be that one of the states may be <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />imp:>s ed upon, or may be over-indulged in the future by this <br /> <br />compact, and it should not rest on any number, but all should <br /> <br />be compelled to come in and act and extend the same compact <br /> <br />some further period of years or revise it to suit the conditions <br /> <br />then existing. <br /> <br />MR. McCLURE~ Did not Hr. Carpenter's suggestion carry <br /> <br />sufficient elasticity? <br /> <br />MR. NORVIEL: The elasticity is alright, but it might be <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />too elastic. I think it should not be subject to a call, but <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />at a definite fixed tine, thirty years from the date of signing, <br /> <br />or whatever the time might be, this compact ends unless it <br /> <br />14th-S.F, <br />15 <br /> <br />161 <br /> <br />161 <br />
