HAP-HAzARD METHOD In
WRITING WATER PACT

Testimony and admissions reveal the
hap-hazard approach to the Colorado
river water treaty. So-called govern
ment experts are being forced to admit
taking for granted" facts and figures
as to the water flow, storage capacities
and all other matters pertaining to the
physical phase of the instrument. Their
admissions disclose carelessness, if not
ignorance and definitely total ignoring
of the potential results vitality affecting
the reclamation programs built around
what was considered to be guarantees for
all time to the people of the basin north
of the border.
More and more the current senatorial
hearings in Washington indicate that the
treaty is an armchair product with
single motive-appeasing Mexico.
Ignored are the plans already mapped
and known far and wide for creating
homes for eX-service men in the rich areas
within reach of the waters stored at
Boulder Dam: Haunted are the contracts
between states and the government when
Boulder Dam negotiations were conclud-
ed left high and dry is the fate of mil
lions Of dollars in bonds issued by metro
politan water districts under the con-
tracts, including the issue for the ALL
American canal and the installations to
divert the water into that channel.
Some of the disclosures were brought
to light by members of the committee far
removed geographically from the basin.
Among these were Senator LaFollette Of
Wisconsin, Progressive member of the
senate.
Questioning a government engineer, the
Wisconsin senator wanted TO know if the
negotiators of the pact were in full agree
ment on the terms when the papers were
signed. To the senator's amazement, the
witness answered mo" The direct lead
had to do with the words extraordinary
drouth" The pact says the 100000
acre feet given to Mexico may be reduced
only il the event of such a drouth. The
expert readily admitted that no definite
definition had been agreed upon as to
this phrase.
TIE lame excuse was given that the
words had been lifted from previous
treaty.
It is through such hap-hazard method
of writing a treaty that this country
faces loss of sovereignty and resources
so necessary, and forever if the treaty is
ratified.

Not only is there more news being
made these days than ever before, but 1t
is more important than the news of al
most any preceding period. The current
news is so important that those who are
making the news also are making history
And the American people are fully
aware of the Importance Of current news.
More people in the United States are
reading newspapers than ever before,
the annual circulation survey by the mag
azine Editor and Publisher showed re-
Gently. The aggregate circulation OF

Operating under unavoidably difficult
conditions due to the war, newspapers

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Feb. IL

BIRTHDAY ANNIVERSARY
OF GREAT .COMMONER

One-hundred thirty-siX years have
passed since the birth of Abraham Lin
coin and almost eighty years since the
death of the Great Commoner.
World leadership may, and has, de-
parted from the lessons he left so indel-
IDLY impressed upon all who held the
tremendous responsibility of guiding ma
tions through peace and war But his In
fluence and teachings and over-reachlng
love for the people still live in the hearts
and minds of the Commoners Submerg-
ed they may be in these surcharging
times, but not forever and as the war
b1ighted world begins again to emerge
into the ways of peace and reconstruc-
ton, we shall turn again to his wisdom
and vision to guide the universe into right
and honesty.
1t was to the people Lincoln always
turned for help and guidance and today
more than ever must world leaders seek
and honor the will of the people. Dictat-
orship had no place in Lincoln's way of
thinking and acting. Neither was there
room for spite or hate or intolerance IN
his heart and mind.
We should read again his second in
augural address and again renew within
our own hearts his Gettysburg speech.
Both are as potent today as guide posts
to peace and progress as the day they
were spoken.

The VOTING AGE

(RiverSide Daily PreSS)
A proposal to lower the voting age
from 21 to Is has been introduced in the
Iowa legislature. Other legislatures now
in session have the same proposal before
them: still others are scheduled to get
it before long.
Under the Constitution each state de-
cides for itself the voting qualifications
of its inhabitants, for federal as we'll as
for state elections. Last November boys
and girls of 19 voted in Georgia, which
has taken the position: "If they are old
enough to fight, they are old enough to
vote"
In every state but Georgia the voting
age is 21. The American colonies took
over this voting age from England. It's
origin in the Anglo-Saxon world is OBJ
scured in the mists of the middle ages.
In the Soviet Union the voting age is Is;
in Germany it is Cor used to be) 20; in
Norway and Sweden, % in Denmark and
The Netherlands, 25.

that was the lighting. A little color
variation would have enhanced the
beauty Of the whole work.
What Lies Sylphides" lacked in
color became veritable rainbow
of dazzling hues in the Stravinsky-
Balanchine "Danses Concertantes. +"
What was drowsy and somnolent
in the first work awakened in this
ballet at staccato pace. A trio
Of blues, greens, fuchsias and or
chids, respectively, abandoned them
selves to some spirited precision
work. The blues tried to outdo the
green's, the green's the fuchsias, and
so on, until the confused mass of
color merged quite beautifully
within the classic idiom. However,
that lovely little ring-around-a-
rosy motiv stole the show and right
out from under Mr.. Stravinsky' S
nose.
Nonsense in the final number
happened so quickly and so grace
fully that it was impossible to keep
track of most of it except, of course
to note that the best was saved
until last. If ever there was a
sure-flre ballet, it's "Gaite Parish
enne," the charming tale of flower
girl, a glove seller and baron, all
carrying on their coquetry to Some
of Offenbacks loveliest music.
In addition to Frederic Franklin
who makes most compelling baron
and who always seems to pop uI
wherever Miss Danilova happens te
be, the dance offers the spotlight
to Maria Tallchief. She does an
exceptionally fine Can-Can version
in the finale which left the audi
ence fairly breathless. The Ma.
tional Symphony played only or

the bass fiddles didn't quite fit into
the pit. Conductor for all three

By PATRICIA SIMMONS,

The National Symphony, the bal
let and Constitution Hall are fast
becoming an inseparable trio. The
trio, of course, by the end of the
season ultimately divides itself into
the Ballet Theater "ites," the Bal
let Russo "ites" and then the just
plain "ites."
This reviewer naturally falls into
the just plain "ites" group. We
watch both companies each season
and then chronologically save our
superlatives for something different
in each group. This time the Monte
Carlo Ballet scores principally on
two counts, Alexandra Danilova and
Frederic Franklin.
Miss Danilova is undoubtedly one
Of the most remarkable ballerinas
before the public today. A dancer of
the famed Diaghilev Ballet she has
remained that, growing in strength
and artistic stature until. today she
emerges as the prima ballerina
probably of the entire western
world. Last night Miss Danilova ap-
peared in the Washington premier
of "Danses Concertantes" and In
Cate Parisienne," dancing bril-
liantly in both.
One of the perennial footpieces OF
the classic ballet opened the pro-
gram. For those who favor the Ian
gushing type of choregraphy, Lies
Sylphides" undoubtedly has it's place
and, last night, the sylphs were
quite up to their usual delicate and
graceful selves. They bathed in the
silver moonlight of Constitution
Halls lone spotlight, they took the
valse. muzurka, nocturne and pas de
deux in their classical stride, and
in general, lent a fairly convincing
midnight reverie to Mr.. Chopin's
lovely music. Only one thing could
