quate protection of their rights, and
there is no disposition on my part
to criticize Arizona or any other state
for demanding every legitimate safe
guard for its own interest. It is my
earnest wish that some agreement
may soon be reached between Ari-
IONA and the other interested states
that will enable Arizona to join with
the others in proceeding without fur
ther DELAY with this constructive un-
dertaking.
''There is, however, a vital need

constant and increasing must be
eliminated if this productive region

who thrive on water agitation, should

business basis.
Nothing should be left urdone by
this state calculated to encourage

next January or February action by
the California legislature resembling
it's nullification OF the six state COM
