These early corporations bought them
at 25 cents an acre. Their lease last
year on the land that was in cultivation
was $40 an acre. SO you see they have
made back capital investment many
times over. It's natural fertility is
great.
Mr.. Evans. In what way is the
United States liable or bound to re-
spect that agreement?
Mr.. Swing. Not at all, not in any
way. The United States have inten-
ltionally avoided having anything to do
with it.
Mr.. Taylor Can you give any of
ficial confirmation Of that statement?
Mr.. Evans. | thought we were to
have copies of those agreements.

Exhibit E).
Mr.. Taylor. Would those three de-
partments be disposed to request this
| committee to go on record and that
Congress make detailed disclaimer
or statement as to any possibilities of
that kind?
Mr.. Swing. In 1901, when the Cali
fornia Development Co. began divert
ing water in the United States north
of the boundary line, the Mexican am
bassador, under date of November q
of that year, wrote a protest to our
Secretary of State complaining of the
operations of this company-the
California Development Co., which
made the original appropriation and
diversion for Imperial Valley-as be-
ing in contravention OF the treaty be-
tween the United States and Mexico
of 1S48, commonly known as the treaty
of Guadalupe Hidalgo, and Article "
of the subsequent treaty of 1858, COM
monty known as the Gadsden treaty
This protest was referred to the De-
partment of Justice for investigation
and report, and after very full and
exhaustive investigation and study q
report and opinion, known as the Burh
opinion, was made to the. Department
of States, to the effect that the diver
sion of the water of the Colorado
River by this company, being accom-
plished wholly within the United
States. was not in conflict with the
provisions of any of the treaties. I'm
der the protection of this ruling of
our Government, 10000 acres in I'M
perial Valley, Calf, have been re-
claimed and made the home of some
10000 American citizens.
Mr.. Hayden. What was the opinion

Mr.. Taylor And by every other
citizen in Colorado, think. | know it

Mr.. Swing. In that treaty the United
States obligated itself To furnish to
Mexico 10000 acre-feet of water
year, and Congress was asked to APP
propriate $1,000,000 to make good
this treaty, and altogether with the
50 100000 furnished by the Rcclama-
ton Service with which they built the
Elephant Butte dam to supply 23,-
600 acres in Mexico. The treaty alb
solutely provides that it is not to be
held, deemed, or construed as pre-
cedent for any future ceses, and | am
told the people who negotiated it had

this reservation.

case the water is all taken out within

the United States The report of En-
gineer Emeterio de la Cara, Jr., on

can Minister Fomento, September %
1912, contains the following:
Every taking of water in the
American territory diminishes the
property which the nation has in
the part of the river which trav-
erses Mexican territory, and,
consequently, causes an injury to
the nation.
tThe Republic, however, can not
prevent the waters from being
taken in American territory, but
has perfect right to prevent the
waters taken in American terri
tory from being carried across the
Mexican territory; thence, if

the prejudice of the Nation, the
Nation has the right to close the

cause it does not have to lend it.
