1 Statement on Behalf of California Summarizing Some of the Reasons for Opposition to Proposed Treaty with Mexico Relating to the Colorado River [i] (1944)

handle is hein.uscaliforniaoth/sobocsso0001 and id is 1 raw text is: STATEMENT ON BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA SUMMARIZING SOME OF THE REASONS FOR OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED TREATY WITH MEXICO RELATING TO THE COLORADO RIVER FOREWORD This statement is not written in a spirit of animosity toward Mexico. The people of the Pacific Southwest have for generations lived and dealt with the Mexican people as neighbors. It is the purpose of this statement to defend water and property rights vested in communities of the South- west under contracts solemnly executed by the United States, and to show the proposed impairment of those contract rights. Unwarranted generosity to Mexico, at the expense of American communities, is neither just to the latter, nor conducive to harmony among the peoples on both sides of the border. COLORADO RIVER BOARD OF CALIFORNIA Dated March 20, 1944.
