TEXT OF HULL LETTER
Closing the communications is
letter written by Secretary Hull
which follows:
My dear Mr.. newes:
This receipt acknowledges
your telegram of July l9, 1914, in
! reference to deliveries during the
current period of peak demand of
Colorado River water to Mexico by
way of the All-American Canal. In
this telegram you stated that the
Imperial Irrigation District was CO.
operating on the basis that the De-
partment of State had secured or
would secure from Mexico approval
Of stipulations such as those con-
tanned in you rletter of May q, 1914
to Secretary Ickes, but that the
assistance of this Department would
not be required in arranging finan-
cial terms for the use, on behalf of
Mexico, of a part of the capacity
of the All-American Canal.
I'm reply I should like first to
direct your attention to my telegram
to you OF July II, 1914, in which !
clearly Sttaed that 1 had requested
the Secretary of the Interior to have
the Bureau of Reclamation use the
All-American Canal for delivery by
that Bureau of Colorado River wa
ter to Mexico under such condi-
tlonS, financial and otherwise, as
the Department of State may ne
gotiate with the Government of
Mexico Furthermore, it should
be obvious that the cooperation OF
the Imperial Irrigation District was
desired not because Of any claim
that this District may be asserting
to any degree or kind of jurisdiction
over the All-American Canal but
only because this District owns, con-
trolls and operates the Alamo Canal
and Heading.
WHO is WHO?
Next, I wish briefly to review the
history OF the negotiations leading
up to the present temporary ar
rangement. Anticipating some time
/, ago that the facilities at Andrade
might prove inadequate to supply a
sufficient quantity of water to the
MeXicali Valley the Government o.
Mexico asked permission to build
| a temporary weir or dam opposite
lockwood Heading. Although the
, United States Section of the In
ternational Boundary Commission
, doubted the feasibility of such an
) arrangement, this department trans
: mitted the request of Mexico to the
Department of the Interior with
the alternative suggestion that the
All-American Canal be used by the
Bureau of Reclamation to deliver wa
ter to Mexico. The Bureau of Reclaim
: alton having indicated, instead, that
. it had 70 objection to the building
Imperial Valley press., 1944-08-03

by Mexico of temporary dam, TINS
Department felt obliged to give its
consent to the building OF such a
structure subject to the approval
of the Imperial Irrigation District.
The District refused its consent and
thus made it necessary, in the face
of the emergency in the Mexicali
Valley, for this Department to go
back to its previouc suggestion Of an
arrangement that The Mexican Gov
ernment haa requested an arrange
ment whereby the Bureau OF Re-
clamation would, as a temporary
measure, deliver water to Mexico by
way of the All-American Canal, an
arrangement that the Mexican Gov
eminent had requested in the event
that the temporary weir could not
be built. The Department of the
Interior accepted this suggestion,
which included the understanding
that the agreement or agreements,
financial and otherwise, with Mex
leo to govern this temporary use,
on behalf of Mexico, of this Canal
would be negotiated with Mexico by
the Department of State, and that
SO far as concerns the financial ar
rangements to be negotiated with
Mexico by this Department. such
agreement or agreements would
cover the terms of payment by Mex
leo to the Government of the United
States by a proper share of the

DISTRICT WITHOUT POWER"

Il appreciate the cooperation that
the Imperial Irrigation District is
extending in permitting its facilities
at Andrade to be used in this mat
ter, but l wish it to be clearly un-
derstood that the Department of
State made its request OF the De-
partment of the Interior for this
use of the All-American Canal by
the Bureau of Reclamation only be-
cause Mexico requested it and not
because the Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict, presumably on account of the
lnadequacy of its work at Andrade,
requested it. Furthermore. neither
this use of the All-American Canal
by the Bureau nor this cooperation
of your District is to be construed
as implying recognition of any kind
on the part of the Department of
State of any claim that your Dis
trlct is making or may make to any
degree or kind of Jurisdiction over

Secretary Ickes to accede to the
requests of the district.
Immediately following granting OF
the permission TO release the water
the District turned to negotiations
regarding payment for facilities and
use of All-American canal equip
ment. There were exchanges of
letters and kilograms, and as the
directors point out, these inter-
changes show a definite difference
of opinion and policy between the
district and governmental agencies
involved, particularly in juriSdic-
ton and the method to be employed
in collecting charges from the Mex
leans for use of the All-American
canal. The board concluding that
in order that the people of the two
valleys may be correctly informed
concerning the situation and may
have substantial basis upon which
to predicate their own conclusions
through its president, has authoriz-
ed publication of the communica-
tions.
