IRRIGATION MEASURE
From . Special Correspondent.

FROM q special Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec 1S.-Repre-
sentative Wedemeyer is a member OF
the subcommittee OF the house com
mittee on territories that was ap-
pointed to go over the bill which has
been considered before the commit.
tee for the last few days, authorizing
John T. McCrosson and his associ.
ates TO construct an irrigation ditch
on the Island of Hawaii
This Is a very large project and
will involve the expenditure OF three
and a quarter million dollars, When
constructed the ditch will extend 100
miles, 80 miles OF which will be tun.
nels. Some idea Of the magnitude OF
the undertaking may be obtained from
the. fact that the bill provides that
one million dollars must be actually
expended within three years after the
approval of the bill by the president.
There have been two quasi-public
irrigation undertakings in Hawaii be-
fore this one. The Kohala Ditch
company, which bought it's right of
way through private lands and got
licenses to pass through the govern
Kohala Ditch company has expended
about 100000 on it's work. II pro
xides supplemental irrigation-that is,
II reaches lands partly watered natur-
ally and supplies about 1000 acres.
The other quasi-public irrigation
project Is that OF the Hawaiian Ditch
company II has built the Hamakua
Ditch, which supplies supplemental
irrigation for from FIVE to ten thou
sand acres and which runs entirely
through private lands. This project
represents the expenditure OF s1,25o,-
900.
The two foregoing are the only
public irrigation companies on the
island but individuals and private cor
porations have spent millions for
private irrigation projects. One alone
costing as high as two and one half
millions of dollars. On the Island OF
Oahu, over two millions have been
spent along these lines in the last 10
years by single companies.
Immense amounts have been spent
In pipelines and pumping stations to
| lift waters to cane lands, one of these
stations costing s250,000.

We might have our minister in ST.

The fact, however. that no CONNER

two nations would be impaired
The president has given strict or
ders TO the state department TO refuse

Disseminated against just as much as
are the Jewish people.
The situation in q nutshell is this I:
In 1882 there was signed a treaty
between the United States and Russia
Russia agreed to give free access 10
American people in all parts OF Russia
in exchange for which the United
States guaranteed. TO give similar &C
cess to Russians desiring to enter the
United States. There were no excep-
tons noted in the treaty.
Russia, as we'll as other foreign
countries, demands that foreign citi-
zens travelling through Russia, shall
bear passports from their homo gov.
ernments. To this there can be no
objection.
But about 40 years ago Russia be-
gan discriminating against Catholic
priests, Protestant clergymen aud mis-.
sionaries, and Jews in violation Of the
terms OF the treaty.
When an American appears at the
Russian frontier, prepared to enter
Russia, he must have his passports
scanned by the Russian consul A
number Of questions are asked the
traveller. One OF them Is: What is
your profession another is What is
your religion II the traveller replies
he Is a priest, clergyman or mission
airy, he is barred II he replies he js
Jew. likewise he is barred. This is
violation of the treaty Of 1882, which
we demand shall be abrogated."
