Legion and the Spanish War yeter-
ans have taken decided stand in
favor of this feature, and nearly
100 Congressman are ex'service men.
At the primary election in August
the All,American canal was n direct
issue, being favored three 10 one
in the llth Congressional District
and by four to one in the valley,
and by eliminating the canal the
whole program is entirely worth
less to the Coachella Valley where
it is intended to place cx-service
men, the letter dcrlares.
Objectionable features are
delaying action and will pre-
v,nt legislation is the claim of
the club, bilt the board replies
that not single reason is given
for this assumption. No Ameri-
can Congressman is likely to
favor the development of the
Borlda. Dam without at the
same time making provision for
the use of this water in the
Uniter States, the board argues.
