OF this question Of boundary that he proposed to give fifteen
millions OF dollars for the adoption OF line bv which Texas
was to reduce her boundary on the 1929 west ong

between the territory renqushed by Texas by the Senator's
proposition and by that the bill under consideration Is not
half OF 900 square miles. II Senators will look 10 the
map they will find this to be the fact Notwithstanding
have heard il repeated that there was difference in the
amount of land be cedd New Mexico as by the
Senator from Missouri and by the bill Of the COMMITTEES of
Thirteen of 900 square miles, yet there is not oneha Of
that difference And the territory what ia its value
we know that considerable portion of is barren wastes

proposition and his proposition Take Texas by herself and
