Mr.. Williams, in the House, offered
resolution requesting Congress to
call a constitutional convention for
the purpose Of proposing amendments

world is undergoing great changes,
and a constitutional. convention, COM
posed of the ablest men of each state
in the Union, would, in my judgment,
be able to render unparalleled service
in proposing such changes in our or
ganic law as will enable the country
to meet the changing conditions under
which we shall in the future be re-
Quired to live. l understand that %
states have already applied to Con-
gress for such convention, only four
more being necessary to require Con-
gress to act l see no reason why
Maryland should not add her voice to
those which have already applied"
