gresham Garner were read, the
Texas representative urging that
Valley irrigation interests immedi-
ately get in touch with their sena-
tors and apprise them Of the impor-
lance of inclusion OF the amendment
in the senate bill or passage BY the
senate Of the original house bill.
Frank Robertson expressed the
view that unless the Boulder Dam
bill contained the Valley amendment
it would prove highly prejudicial TO
the Valley interests in negotiating
a treaty with Mexico for division Of
waters on the Rio Grande. He point
cd out that present ALLEGATIONS OF
water on the American side exceeded
the normal flow OF the Colorado and
would leave Mexico virtually without
water from that source. While the
provisions Of a treaty would be SUI
pcricr TO such ALLEGATIONS, he stat
ed, yet the fact that the Boulder
Dam bill made no reference to Mex
lean rights would prove very preju-
dicial and doubtless would have con-
siderable weight with Mexico in con-
nection with the treaty negotiations,
he stated.
