treaty. as they were then known,
to the California members only if
they would keep them confidential.
Having bound our people to sec
recy, the state department, unin-
hibited, went ahead with ,nego-
tiations decidedly adverse to Cali
fornia.
DOUBLE BARRELED
It is a double -barreled treaty.
The settlement of the water prob
lens of the Rio Grande and the
settlement of the problems of the
Colorado, are both in it. The first
settlement is decidedly advantageous
to Texas, a point which may or may
not be overlooked as the chair
man of the senate foreign relations
committee is Senator Connally
from that state. Texas has the
strongest influence of any state
in the congress.
The Colorado River terms are
disadvantageous to California and
other states in the Colorado basin.
Yet so steady and so strong has
been the propaganda that Cali
fornia has been engineered into
the unhappy position of appearing
to oppose the treaty alone and
solely for selfish reasons. We OPP
pose it because we know the Sit
uation and the details. The state
of California appropriated money
to fight treaty approval. Cover
nor Warren came to Washington
to oppose ratification, and repor-
ed when he got home that about
1100 pages of testimony had been
gathered but that not more than
three or four Senators ever at
tended the hearings at one time" I"
The treaty proposes to give to
Mexico 100000 acre feet of firm
water yearly. This is twice the
amount used under previous con-
ditions by that nation. 1t proposes
to set up a two-man commission to
control for all time the problems of
the Colorado river. This is new
theory in treaty making. 1t could
be a precedent for future treaties.
1t takes future treaty approval
away from tnlS SENATE. IL proposes
to bind the congress to build ad-
ditional structures. Such matters
ale Constitutionally the right of the
house of representatives. 1t would
permit the importation of Mexican
labor, without regard to wages or
the immigration laws, to work on
these projects. 1t violates contracts
already entered into between the
people of California, who look for
ward to the use of the water and
the United States government which
contracted to see that they got it.
1t will deprive the southwest of a
potential population of about TO-
OCG0O0 with all the building and
buying they would bring with them.

0PA Announces
New Beer Prices

Retail prices CT beer in Ell Centro
and other parts of this district have
been reduced, it is announced by
Ralph Tuttle, field officer of the
Office of Price Administration.
It is a general reduction, Tuttle
said. The new list applies to all do
mestic beer sold at retail on a
straight percentage mark-up, as
we'll as eastern beer.
According to the announcement,
mcst western beer of II or 12-ounce
tcttles will retail at II to 12 cents
per bottle; 32-ounce bottles will re-
tail at 81 to sc cents per bottle un-
der the new prices.
Eastern beer Of II or II ounces
will retail at Is to II cents and 32
ounce bottles at 81 to SO cents per
bottle. The slight variation in prices
it is pointed out by Mrs. Margaret
Foster, chief clerk Of the OPA, is
due to freight charges which the re-
taller is permitted to take into con-
sideration, but each individual brand
will be sold at uniform price.
Tie change in prices, however,
affects only grocery CT package
stores selling off sale" That is,
beer not consumed on the premises
On or before April 10 all retail
stores selling beer ARE required to
post their prices where they may
be read easily by customers, Tuttle
said

FARM N EWS
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION
SERVICE

Another substantial increase in
turkey production by California
growers in 1945 is indicated by the
California Crop and Livestock Re-
porting Service. Intentions expressed
by turkey growers indicate per
cent increase in turkey production
fer l945 over 1914.
Turkey eggs and poults are in
strong demand over the entire state.
Turkey egg production has been
stepped up considerably, and the
number of breeder hens on hand
now is 6 per cent larger than year
ago. Poult hatchings are starting
earlier
The largest crop OF turkeys ever
produced in California was the 1914
crop of 4,260,000 turkeys" says the
report of February 20. California
continues to rank first in turkey
production. The 1914 season was
generally favorable, although dis
ease losses were heavy in some To-
calities, and feed and labor costs
were relatively high. Overall losses
continue lighter in California than
in most other states. The average
weight of turkeys sold in the state
was higher than in 1943. Reports
from producers showed an average
weight of 143 pounds for hens sold
in 1914 and 23.9 pounds fer toms
sold. These compare wit h 14.l
pounds and $50 pounds, respective
ly, the average weights of birds sold
in 1943.
Turkey growers of the United
States plan to raise 29,481 900 tur-
keys this year. This would be about
per cent more than the record
crop CT last year. Turkey producers
in the west north central states,
who produced 30 per cent OF the
turkeys raised in 1914, plan an in
crease of 10 per cent this year.
I'm the west, where 81 per cent OF
last years crop was produced, the
expected increase is per cent; in
the east north central and north
Atlantic states 20 per cent and in
the south Atlantic, l3 per cent.
Producers in the south central, who
raised Is per cent CT the 1914 tur-
KEYS. plan a decrease of 4 per cent
this year.
Some difference between Janu-
ary intentions and actual per-
formance is to be expected, the diff
ference depending on the supply
and price of Matching eggs, poult
prices and prosp pective feed prices.
Last year the number of turkeys
raised exceeded the January inten-.
tions of per cent, the first time
the intentions have been exceeded
in seven years of record.

I Rise TO Remor X

BY Congressman John Phillips
: Unless something happens to put
the sxlate off its schedule, the
very controversial matter Of the
Mexican water treaty will be set

about the time this goes into

satisfactory situation, and the end

The argument began three years

The directive covers only the New York area, the Hartford OPA office told the Democrat today. Whether the Connecticut office would take similar action forbidding cigarettes to be hidden under counters, is not known at this time. Though the matter has been under considera- ton, by state OPA officials, 1t was pointed out that the New York di- rective was primarily aimed to elIm- mate black market selling, and no complaints have been received fin the Connecticut area concerning Sky-high prices, H. M. Feiney, state information executive of the OPA stated.
 He pointed to the fact that 1t is estimated that between 25 and 30 per cent of all cigarettes sold in New York city are in the black mar ket, selling for from $250 to 8 a carton.
 The Hartford OPA officials have had few complaints about mer- chants dispensing cigarettes from under the counter or from their pockets, MT. Feiney said. Asked whether Connecticut residents fre- quently complain to the OPA office Mir. Fcincy sadi, we've had plenty of grlpes about food shortages, but the number of complaints about the cigarette shortage have been nom- tnal."
 In New York Mayor LeGlardia has ordered immediate action to re- store buying to self-respecting plane. The practice of dealers stepping" to eXtricatc package of cigarette from a hidden place is definitely on the way out, says the mayor The storckecpcrs must dis play their stock openly and meet all demands without discrimination.
