The compact, which was signed No- vember 24, 1922, at Santa Fe, N. M. is the first’ interstate treaty involving {more than two states which has been executed in the history of the United 1States. Its purpose was to put an end to the litigation which has held up development of the Colorado river for many vears, and which threatened to hold it up for another considerable period. Territory Large as France. Ratification by the stato legislatures of the Colorado river compact means, according to Clarence C. Stetson, ecutive sccretary of the commission, elimination of legislation, thus re- moving & blockade on development of 242,000 square miles of American ter- ritory, a territory larger than the repubiic of France:; orderly develop ment through irrigation and cu vation of four million acres of now a desert; construction of dam needed for control of floods threatening the Imperial 1o Yerde valleys, in Caltfornt and the Yuma project in Arizona— rich communities assessed at m than one hundred million dollar: where 75,000 to 100,000 Americans gain their living. Other advantages to be gained by ratification inciude new homes for three million Amer- ican men and women, new communi tles which will furnish increa markets for the whole country, and increased wealth to be spread over the nation The worst thing about the compact Secretary Hoover says, is that it will destroy much oratory growing spuds and not for glow speech,” he adds. Not an Emotional Matter. “One can get great emotion over nfifct and quarrel,” Mr. Hoover says, “but there is no great oratory about the fact that the northern basin is separated from the southern basin by a thousand miles of barren canyon; that the agriculture and economic life of the two basing are wholly different, and that the logi- cal thing is to divide the water be- tween them 80 they can make homes instead of defend injunctions. “Nor can one make great oratory out of the fact that there is ample water and to spare after the appor- tionment of enough water to each basin in perpetuity to cover all of the present uses plus all of the known feasible projects, plus 20 per cent for good measure, then holding in re- serve 20 per cent for forty vears to see where it is most needed. There fs nothing sensatfonal a ompact that leaves all questlo: Mexican water rights to the State Depart- ment of the United States, which the only organ of the Amer ple which has any right to it ‘“There is nothing especially roman- tic about the provisions in the com- pact for complete priority of agri- culture over power forever in the use of water of this river. “Yet, behind all the precise and com- monplace language of this compact lles the greatness and romance of the west, the bullding of a million more homes out under the blue sky In security and good will. “The compact has a side interest, for with the exception of two other cases, and these only between two states, the Colorado river compact marks the first time that a consider- able number of states have settled fundamental interstate rights by proc- ess of treaty Instead of resort to the Supreme Court. A Triumph for Civilisatiol Agreement by the commission upon the details of the compact is a signal “It makes for | Ending Quarrel Over River victory for those qualities which dls- tinguish the civilised man from the savago, Arthur P.

Bill Now in Congress. A Bill was recently introduced Congress for construction of the world's largest dam at or near Bould- er Canyon along the Colorado, or its {extension, Black Canyon, in t! northwestern corner of Arizona the Arizona-Nevada border. This dar, if built to its full height of 800 feer | above present low water level, would | store some 231,400,000 square feet cof water and develop 700,000 prima: horsepower, while if built to & heigh: of 550 feet above present low water level it would store 26,500,000 acre fo. i and develop 600,000 primary horse power, after due allowance had bee made for frrigation, requirements. Probably the most urgent of th engineering aspects of 1 invoived in_the Colorado river basin is that of flood control for the pr tection of the Imperial, Coachella and Palo Verde valleys in southern Ca ifornia_from the spring floods of the main river and winter flash floods the Gila river. Representative Swin of California is the author of a b now in Congress asking for authori zation of an appropriation of $70,000. 000 for the dum construction work, for which $50.000,000 is to be spe and the balance to be expended toward construction of an all-Am can canal which would divert the water at Laguna dam and lead it t the Imperial v entirely throug: American territory.
