Spirit That Animates the Return

Men Who GIoriously Finished the
Greatest War In History Have
Now But One Idea: Their
Country's Good.

The American soldier in the great
war dedicated his life TO the establish

In spite of the complex arguments Of

establishment of those principles. ana

to put it to beneficial use" That was
the old law before the creation of the
present water commission.
The generosity and magnanimity
displayed by these gentlemen toward
Mexico in disposing of the waters of
the Colorado River can be best eN-
planned by the mere statement that
these same gentlemen, through their
Mexican corporation, owned 100000
acres south of the boundary line and
irrigable from their Mexican canals,
while their American corporation did
not own single acre in the Imperial
Valley. Thus they We're the benefi-
ciaries of their own benevolence.
The right of the California Devel-
opment Co. to divert and dispose of
any of the waters of the Colorado
was based upon appropriation or fill
ing made for that company under the
laws of the State of California. which
laws required the appropriations to
put the waters to beneficial use
within the State of California. The
California Development Co. did not
contemplate itself putting the waters
to beneficial use. 1t had to rely en-
tirely upon the use of American far
mers in the Imperial Valley would
make of the waters in order to perfect
its title. ct, strange 70 relate, this
Imperial Valley press., 1919-09-09

$contract contains no provision to in
sure the return by the Mexican Co
of any of the water to the United
States. AS far as the California Dew
elopment Co. is concerned, it ceded
to TIE Mexican Co., without reserva-
tion, all water diverted by it. 1t un-
dertook to give the Mexican Co. wa
ter. its right to which was dependent
upon the water being put to use with
in the United States. In other words,
it attempted to give away something
to which it had no title.
Furthermore, in this contract this
private corporation assumed the treaty
making powers of the United States,
of oUr Government, to appropriate all
and undertook, without the consent
the waters of the Colorado, cede the
same to a Mexican corporation, and
allow this Mexican corporation to dl-
vide the water according to its own
private interests, between the United
States and Mexico.
Mr.. Sinnott. Do YOU mean they act
ually appropriated all the water. or
made a paper filing?
Mr.. Swing. A paper filing claiming
10000 second-feet, which is in excess
of the amount of water the river eight
months in the year.
The presumptiveness, as we'll as the
Imperial Valley press., 1919-09-09

munity of Imperial Valley is depend
ent upon so slender a thread as the
friendship and good will of Mexico. If
anything happened south of that line
to cut off our supply of water, people
could not live 10 days in Imperial Val
ley, and hundreds of thousands of head
of live stock would perish through in
ability to get them out of Imperial
Valley, and the valuation of $l00,000,-
600 would shrivel and shrink TO almost
nothing. Yet 60 miles of main canals
and works lie wholly in Mexico, It's
banks can be cut, the structures can
be destroyed and the water can be di-
verted, One can easily imagine what
might happen to Imperial Valley if,
unhappily, unforeseen conflict should
arise between the two nations. lmper-
ial Valley could receive serious injury
in fight between two factions. Sew
eral battles have been fought right
over the territory through which our
canals traverses. |, myself, witnessed
one from the top of building, and
they did a good deal of damage, killed
quite a few people in that battle. If
one faction thought it to it's advan-
tage, being outside of Mexicali, to shut
the other faction off from water they
would not hesitate to do it, and the
Imperial Valley would suffer from the
consequences. The United States
should not leave 10000 people who are
entitled to its protection to such a
fate.
SO long as Imperial Valley is COM
PEELED to get its water by means Of the
present arrangement Mexican lands
have the right to take one-half and
the physical power to take all the wa
ter. 1t is estimated that there are be-
tween 100000 and 100000 acres in
Mexico which could be irrigated by

which are irrigable by gravity flow
from the system of canals so con-

vided that all users were to have the
same water rights, Mexican lands
equally with the American.
The Chairman. How did they get
a permit under those conditions?
Mr.. Swing. They did not have to Sc
sure a permit at that time. They just
posted notice and said. Il file upon

connecting with our system. Much of
this land is held in immense tracts by
rich and powerful corporations who
could, and probably would, if condi-
tions were stable in Mexico, in a com
paratively short time put most OF it
into cultivation by the use of cheap
Chinese and Japanese labor. Several
thousands of these have already been
imported for that very purpose. 1t is
very productive it will grow great
crops, and with cheap labor and cheap
er water there is nothing to prevent
vent them from going ahead as far as
their resources will permit them.

Mr.. Swing. Yes sir.
Mr.. Smith. Are they sold to indi-
