Pero suponiendo un ~senalamiento ta-
cito, hipotesis va de suyo v%iolenta,
~suponiendo que esa Inca debiera pro-
~longarse, entrando de la costa a las
aguas, la Comision encuentra indu-
bitable que esa Enea Sc debera pro-
longar en- ell Pacifico, tanto cuanto
los Estados exigieran que Sc prolon-
CARA en- ell Atlantico. Ninguna ra-
ION acceptable, ningun esfuerzo fuera
del absurdo pudiera alegarse, para
que concediendo la estipulacion tact
ia o sobrentendida de la prolonga-
cion de la Inca, Sc conceda esta in
definida, de suerte que vaya a cru
zarse con las ~antipodas; 10 mas que

csc punto omiso del contrato sc lie
conceda tanto como exigio y Sc lie

CONCLUSIONES

Y despues de dar a conocer este ar
ticulo de los tratados de Guadalupe,
ell ~dictamen de los comisionados llega
a esta conclusion:
"Segun Ell Art. So. que aeabamos
de recordar, la Inca divisoria comien-
Ia en- un punto del Golfo de Mexico,
tres leguas mar adentro, frente a la
desembocadura del Rio Bravo del
Norte, y termina en- I'm punto de la
costa del mar Pacifico, distante una
legua marina al Sur del punto mas
meridional del Puerto de San Diego.
Ahora bien, ell Archipelago del Nor
tie no ests c~omprendido dentro de
esa Inca. Ell tratado no dice que Ii
nea divisoria por la parte occiden-
tai, o sea del Oceano Pacifico, entra
en- ell aqua, como en- ell extreme orien-
tai, en- que sc trazo imaginariamente
tres leguas adentro sobre las aguas
del Colfo. Como Sc ha visto, ell ira
tado termina la Inca en- TERRA, en-
ell punto geograficamente sennlado.

LOS DERECHOS DE MEXICO

Sobre ell derecho que Mexico, al que
dar independence de Espana, tenfa
sobre la Isla Catalina y demas que
forman ell archipelago del Norte, ell
senior Chazari, dice:
al Independence de la Metropo-
II, la nueva republica de Mexico asu-

dos los derechos de la corona de Cas-
tilla sobre la Nueva Espana, y no de-
jo de ejercerlos en- las Islas mencio

aun cediendo, por resolution de sus
autoridades, la exploitation de parte
de aquellos territories.

Gobierno mexicano hubo destinado la
isla de Santa Cruz a servir de pc

CITY FAT HERS MAY GIVE BEER
 DEAL TO VOTERS
Council Expected to Con slider Ordinance To-
 night for Lease

Because of action probably to be taken tonight at a meeting of the City Council, Juneau voters may find an important ordinance included. on the ballot for their action at the coming general muni- cipal election, April 2.
 The City Fathers are scheduled to gather at 8 o'clock tonight in their first regular March meeting in the Council Chambers of City Hall.
 The item which, because of prob- able councilmatic action tonight, may be found on the April ballot is, briefly:
 May Lease Dock
 The granting of a lease for a portion of the City Dock to the Mt. Juneau Brewing Company.
 At the last Council session in February, a group of local business men, organized under the title of the Mt. Juneau Brewing Company, petitioned the six Councilmen for lease to a portion of the City Dock It was explained that local brewery would be constructed there if the lease was granted. hrt May Call Bills
 Several conferences between city officials and representatives of the beer company have been held, with the result that tonight it is ex- pected that an ordinance, giving the details of the lease, will be drawn. This ordiance probably will be placed upon the election ballot, as leasing of large portions of city property must have the approval ! of the electorate.
 A second item which may be con- sidered at tonights session of the Council will be the authorization to issue call for bids on the paving of about 6,500 square yards of concrete sidewalk, mostly along Main Street. This would be a Public Works Administration prof. ect, if approved.
