WASHINGTON, Feb. 1s.-tR)-
Water has become a complicated and
controversial subject of international
Importance between the United
States and its neighbors. Canada and
Mexico. For the present the Cana
dian controversy is somewhat in
abeyanee but the situation with re-
gard to Mexico is coming to the fore
with a meeting OF the Mexican-Amer-
lean international water commission
N the near future.
IL will be concerned chiefly with
problems relating 10 use of the wat
ers Of the lower Rio Grande, Of the
lower Colorado, and Of the Tia Juana
rivers. The commission will endcav-
or 10 reach an agreement upon which
20 base a treaty.
Zach of the three rivers present a
different proposition, but il has been
deemed advisable that the three be
considered together. On the Rio
Grande about two-thirds Of the water
is furnished by Mexico, on the Colo
rado all Of the water is furnished By
the United States, and or the Tia
Juana the larger portion OF the water
Is furnished by the United States.
In the case Of the Colorado there
is the question of whether irrigation
rights apply and have been recog-
nized. There is also the question Of
how far the United il 70 recognize
existing uses in Mexico as against
later rights in the United States. and
