the fifth annual governors conference.
Governor Norris Of Montana responded

petuation of the governors conference
as permanent organization with its
chief aim the moulding of public opin-
ion and shaping public policies.
"Much of actual value has been ac-
complished at previous conferences
Governor Norris said, "but the confer
ences have not been the potent factor
they should have been. No definite
position has been taken upon any ques-
ton and no fixed purpose has been ac-
complished. There seems no need Cf
timidity on the part Of governor. All
national questions and policies are in
tiniately related to the states. I am
an earnest advocate Of an organization
