Japan's high military command, it
was indicated Thursday in dispatch

Then Put Him Back
2y Unanimous Vote

WASHINGTON, Feb. "a. (UP)-
Senator Alben W. Barkley of Ken
lucky Thursday resigned as demo-
cratic floor leader of the senate,
but agreed to accept the post anew
when his colleagues unanimously
reelected him and thereby gave
him a vote of confidence in his
tax bill split with President Roose-
velt.
|. The Democratic senators adopted
a resolution, prepared by Senator
Josiah W. Bailey Dem.. N. CO.,
pledging Barkley "our confidence in
him as our leader" and expressing
their unanimous desire that he
continue in office
DIFFICULT DAYS AHEAD
Barkley now apparently will be
Democratic leader in fact as well
as in name-chosen by all Demo-
cratic members of the senate rep
resenting them rather than mere
ly representing the administration
Observers figured he had difficult
days ahead in this role, what with
the split between Mr.. Roosevelt and
congress reaching ever-wider pro-
portions.
Barley, talking with reporters,
said he still has "the deepest per-
sonal affection for the president"
despite the split over the tax bill.
Appraised of this comment, Whit
House Secretary Stephen T. Early
said:
"A lot of folks will be disap-
pointed"
After Barkley formally submit
ted his resignation he left the enn-
ference room. His colleagues then
unanimously voted to re-elect him

river cannot. be justified, y
Senator Sheridan Downey of
California Thursday toured
the Imperial Irrigation dis
trict and planned to visit the
delta region of the river in
Mexico.
1T is my belief that the treaty
will not be ratified, Senator Downcy
said Thursday before starting his
tour. 1T also is my belief that if it
should be ratified, it would have
a disastrous effect upon Califor-
lia and Arizona. l am particularly
impressed by the narrow margin of
water available from the Colorado
in the years when the water is
low
GETS FULL DATA
Senator DOWney said he was gath
ering information and facts to be
presented to the senate foreign re-
ationS committee when he returns
% Washington. If the weather and
he roads permit, Senator Downey
said he hoped to tour the entire
Colorado river delta region in Mex
ico before he ends his two-day in
Spection of the river and the irriga-
Ion works in this section of the
country
The senator was accompanied on
lis tour Thursday by Evan T.

Irrigation district board of direc-
tors and president of the Colorado
River Board of California; l.. A.
Iauser executive secretary of the
Colorado River board; Mack Tren-
ham, district director from Impe-
tial; and large group of engineers.
GOES TO SENATE
The treaty was negotiated by
he state department and Mexican
officials and on February Is was
approved and sent to the senate by
President Roosevelt
Terms of the treaty allocate L.
100000 acre feet to Mexico every
ear from the Colorado river, utiliz-
ng facilities planned and paid for
by the American public. During
natural stream flow Mexico used
no more than 100000 acre feet of
water in a year, Senator Downey
pointed out.

ion and are gathering information
