Kenny Says Colorado Pact
Fails to Aid Mexico,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. (UP)-At-
torney General Robert w. Kenny of Cali
fornia charged Tuesday that the pro-
posed Mexican water treaty-"A poul-
tice to cure a cancer"-does nothing to
solve Mexico's problems while increasing
those of the United States.
Opening California's testimony against
the treaty before the senate foreign rela-
tions committee, Kenny said the agree
ment would be "a boon to small group
of international financiers" who want to
expand cotton acreage in Mexico.
The treaty guarantees Mexico 1,5OO,-
900 acre feet of Colorado river water an
nually. The administration considers it

ing big three conference would be
weakened If his administration were
to be reversed in congress on an
issue dealing with an immediate
neighbor to the south.
Consequently, it was said, the
administration will make every ef-
fort to secure ratification of the
treaty. Chairman Tom Connally,

committee will have key hole in

Attorney General Robert w.

mony against the treaty before the

MeIoIand Group
Stands Firm on
EXPANSION Plan

"The Meloland group still insists
upon enlargement of the scientific
staff at the Meloland agricultural
experiment station and the es-
tablishment Of a non-degree agri-
cultural college there, Professor B.
A. Matson to the contrary" was the
statement issued Tuesday in Ell
Centre by Harold Hunt, chairman
of the group.
He referred to the statement made
by Professor Matson, head of the
division of agronomy at the Uni
versity of California to the effect
that the university planned to in
crease the working budget at the
station somewhat but failed to
mention other improvements re-
quested by the group, a request
backed by many organizations in
Imperial county.
Hunt declared that the group still
is firm in its belief that enlarge
ment of the scientific staff at the
station will result in great benefit
to California agriculture because it
will broaden the scope of the work
to include all agricultural problems
"The group is Just as firm in its
belief that local college of agri-
culture will provide opportunities
for Imperial county youths and for
returned veterans who cannot af-
ford to go elsewhere to attend COL
lege," Hunt said. "The practical
nature of the education which would
be provided at the proposed non-
degree college of agriculture at the
station will fit the students to farm
under local conditions and be of
more help to them than any college
away from the valley" the group
leader concluded.
