Asked whether the resolution would have such an amendment become effective in 1967, Mr. Trepanier said he did not have the text of the document in front of him but he supposed it would recommend that the change take effect next year. The resolution text was being sent to party headquarters in| Ottawa, "probably" today, as the first step toward its intro- duction at this year's regular convention of the national party. Mr. Trepanier said the resolu- tion is "simply a question of principle, in no way related to the leadership of Mr, Diefen- baker."
