<br />.\ <br /> <br />i. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />/ <br /> <br />We are all human and are netural1y E.lert to our own best inter- <br /> <br />ests. <br /> <br />. (hlr. I/;c:;regor then read the following paper) <br /> <br />UI wish first to consider briefly the individual interests <br /> <br />of the seven states Qf the Colorado basin in the pro~osed river <br /> <br />development. <br /> <br />, <br />uAs we all l:now, Californil: has very p;:reat need for protec- <br />tion from the floods of the Colorado. California has half a <br /> <br />million acres of rich lc,nJ. that can be brought under cultivE tion <br /> <br />from the direct use of tl:e ~Iater of the River as soon as its floods <br /> <br />can be brought under control !<nc.. conserved. C&.lifornia has need <br /> <br />for more hydro-electric )ower. It happens that all of these needs <br /> <br />can be fully realized by building a high dam in the canyon of the <br /> <br />Colorado at a site affording ample storage back of it. <br /> <br /> <br />"Arizona also desires to be protected from the floods of <br /> <br />the Colorado; her need for this ~n'otection is entirely secondary <br /> <br />to thEt of California, however. Arizona has about the Same <br /> <br />" Emount of lEnd that can be reclaimed by irrigation directly with <br />the waters of the Colorado as California has, and Arizona is very._" <br />much inte,ested in this dev~lopment. Arizona has need for hydro- <br /> <br />electric power; she cannot use as much as California eventually. <br />but for the amount that can be used, her needs Ere mor~ 7res~ing <br /> <br />then California's. <br /> <br />P. <br /> <br />, <br />
