move today in its current effort to
reduce the amount of bank credit

With cooperation of the twelve
federal reserve banks and the 1888
member banks, the board said, it has
sought to bring about IAN orderly
readjustment" in the credit situ-

Progress in this direction in re-

decrease in loans to brokers by
member banks.

OPPOSE
WATER PERMIT
Expect Action Mon
day On Willacy
Application

SAN BENIT0, Feb. Clover Rio
Grande Valley irrigation interests
are expected 70 present a vigorous
protest when the application OF the
Willaey county irrigation district Is
brought up for final action at a
meeting OF the state water board at
Austin Monday.
The Wiliacy district valuation bill
has been shorn Of all reference to
water rights, upon presentation Of
the irrigation interests that it con-
stitdted a legislative infringement
upon the functions Of the state wa
ter board. The situation, so far as
agreement between the Willacy dis
trict and the associated water dis
trlct Of the Valley is concerned, is
where 1t vas when the application
for permit was presented the board
on January ..
The established districts OF the
Valley assert that they desire all
water rights protected, not only for
areas within the districts but also
sections which later may be brought
under irrigation and which are with
in the riparian area.
The Willacy districts asserts that
u proposes to use flood waters only,
diyerting water from the Rio Grande
during Hood stages, these waters TO
be stored for distribution oyer the
l29,50O acres included in the district.
They add that their entire distribu-
ton system VIII be concreted and
vastage Of water reduced TO the min
imUm.
Opponents Of the proposed diver
sion assert that wastage in the reger-
yOirs and diversion canal from evan
grafton and seepaye would be suffi-
eient TO water 10000 acres, which
loss, they state cannot be eliminat-
ed by concreting Of the distribution
system.
Whether legal guarantees or other
recognition Of water rights can be
worked out is a problem that Is per-
picking the most experienced irri-
cation attorneys in south Texas. The
Nillacy district board, prior TO ap-
plying for a permit, passed a resolu-
ton setting forth that the district
sought only flood waters now going
to waste, but this resolution. attor-
neys contend. would not be binding
upon future boards Of directors.
"The problem is decidedly COM
plex," was the verdict Of one Of the
irrigation attorneys. "We are max
ing no objection TO diversion of flood
waters; but we must look to the
future and protect the lands under
irrigation or which have a superior
right to those Of the Willacy district.
What the coming years will bring
forth, no one can f~oretell, and it Is
incumbent upon the districts Il pro-
fide against possible contingencies"

The Old Triangle

DY the time the reader gets out
Id of the woods he will find book
of high interest and excitement, The
great drama of Catherine, Henry
and Anne is done with fire and
simplicity. Granted that much Of
the struggle was conditioned by the
subtle interplay of European poll
tics there remains an old-fashioned
triangle play concerning two women
and man.
Indeed, it seems to me that Anne
and Catherine are rather more vivid
in his pages than Henry himself
particularly Anne. AS one little
versed in English history, or any
other, the story of this gallant flap
per was to me not only moving, but
surprising, too.
Of course. it was not exactly news
to me that she had said in the
tower, Il heard say the eXecutioner
was very good, and have a little
neck" But it was agreeable to learn
that the Boleyn maid was actually
a girl of such courage and high
spirit when put under pressure.
