Stettinius pointed out the great

Stetinius' statement said: 4
with an average of over 1000 900
acre feet of water now wasting an
nually through Mexican territory
into the Gulf of California, it is of
the utmost Importance to both ma
tions that there should be an alloca-
ton, once and for all, of the waters
of this stream, SO that on the one
hand, conflicting development and
over-expansion, with their attend
ant disastrous consequences, may
be checked and, on the other hand,
development may proceed in an Or
derly and secure manner, free of un-
certainties as to future available
water supply which hamper and re
