“I think that it is a fallacy to suppose that helpful cooperation in the future will be assured by the attempted compulsion of an inflexible rule. Rather will such cooperation depend upon the fostering of firm friendships springing from an appreciation of community ideals, interests, and purposes, and such friendships are more likely to be promoted by freedom of conference than by the effort to create hard and fast engagements.” ThinkingHardPurposeInterestCommunityEffortDependsIdealsAppreciationFirmHelpfulCooperationEngagementAssuredConferencesCompulsionFallacyFostering Author:Charles Evans Hughes
