American rights and principles of
government. The national phase of
granting veto powers over this coun-
try to a foreign nation, by giving
the foreign affairs secretary of
Mexico the right to dispute water
belonging to the people of the
United States, was opposed by these
men. The features which mace for
an overlapping of jurisdiction with
other federal agencies in this treat
les administration, the mandatory
provision for congress to construct
works recommended by the interna-
tional boundary commission and
Secretary of the Interior Harold
