StreSSing the importance Of federal adoption OF
the Valleys flood control and water conservation
program and the Of a treaty with
Mexico providing for the division Of the waters of
the Rio Grande. Congressman Milton West pledged
himself throughout the primary campaign to work to
these ends.
For years the Valley has known that It's problem
Of flood control and proposed conservation Of waters
must be met by the federal government. due TO the
international character OF the Rio Grande. Efficient
work to that end has been done by many Valley
leaders, and the International Boundary commission
has recognized the problem and the solution. Both
American and Mexican members Of the commission
heye stated publicly that the problem is one to be
met by the two nations concerned, not by any par
SECULAR community.
A real start was made when the Department of
State took over the maintenance OF the already ex-
isting food control system and money was appro-
priated for the continuanee OF the work already
started by Hidaiso and Cameron counties.
But there still remained the treaty with Mexico,
and that treaty still remains a thing that must be
effected before the elaborate plans on foot for food
control and water conservation can be carried cut.
Congressman West has made a fine start toward
the carrying out OF his campaign pledge by securing
the approval OF the foreign affairs committee Of the
house for a bill which instructs the Department of
state TO proceed with negotiations for q treaty with
Mexico on the all important subject OF the division
of the waters Of the Rio Grande. such a treaty Is
essential to the future OF the Lower Rio Grande VAL
ley Of the United States. No difficulty Is expected
In It's c~onsummation. Officials OF Mexico have stated
that they viii meet the negotiations with a mind
sympathetic to the Valleys interests.
The important thing Is that a real start has been
made toward the securing OF that treaty. Passage Of
the West bill Is now assured with the favorable
Recommendations Of the committees concerned
Congressman West has done a good job and we
may confidently expect that he win carry the bill
through the house. Favorable action may be expect
cd hy the senate with Senators Sheppard and Con-
nally both prepared TO push the bill through.
