international Cooperation

What 1t Is hoped will prove the beginning Of an
active cooperative study and work of the problems
OF control and division Of the waters OF the Lower
Rio Grande begins Wednesday as representatives OF
the Mexican government arrive here for a survey
and inspection trip Of the flood control works on the
American side of the river.
Accompanying the Mexican officials. all Of whom
have been in the Valley before, are j. l.. Lyle Of
the international Boundary commission engineering
staff with offices in san Benito, and w. Z. Ander-
son of San Benito. consulting engineer to the COM
mission.
The three Mexican officials and the two boundary
commission attaches have been in Fl Paso for the
past several days, attending a conference there be-
tween representatives Of the departments Of state Of
the two countries and members Of the International
Boundary commission.
Thanks to the West bill now before congress which
provides funds for the active participation or the
American government for its part in any program
calling for control Of and division Of the waters Of
the Rio Grande. and for active steps BY the Depart
ment Of State for a treaty with Mexico on these
subjects, public attention is now being focused on
the Importance OF the matter at hand. AS a result of
the flood control tour conducted last week and at
tended by representative citizens Of Cameron county,
the public OF this county has a clearer perception on
the work proposed and Of its value to the Valley.
The cooperative interest being taken in Mexico
and BY Mexican officials leads to the belief that the
desired treaty will be with a minimum
Of difficulty. and that both countries will profit by
its terms. OF its Importance there can be no doubt
and Of its desirabiiity there can be even less doubt.
The diplomatic fiction Of the navigability of the Rio
Grande was perhaps not fiction at the time OF the
treaty OF Guadalupe Hidalgo. but 1t is fiction Of the
rankeSt sort today.
In the intervening years both countries have come
10 realize the value of the Rio Grande as a purveyor
of water for domestic and agricultural purposes and
have gone ahead with plans for the utilization Of its
waters for such purposes. The time has come when
a stalemate must be declared until definite rights
have been established for both countries and these
rights declared in a formal treaty. Future develop
ment on both sides of the river will be retarded until
such a treaty Is signed.
We see prospects for such a treaty becoming
brighter day by day as the West bill meets WITH
favor as conferences such as the one Just held at T.
Paso are called, and as representatives OF both coun-
tries involved confer with each other.
