<br />- <br /> <br />59 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. MC CLURE: The Imperial Valley has reached its limit until <br />that l~erican canal is built. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />MR. HOOVER: That amount will flow down the river until you <br /> <br />get the All-American canal. <br /> <br />MR. CALDWELL: There will, at least, be that much toward <br /> <br />satisfying the Mexican burden for the present. <br /> <br />JUDGE SLOl,N: How are you going to express the obligation <br /> <br />after that without mentioning it? <br />MR. ,CARPENTER: Do you know of any way, - I know of nothing <br /> <br />except language, and I am fearful of, that. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />what we want to express,- I think some of us can express it, if <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />it is agreed that we are assuming only half of the burden that <br /> <br />may be assumed by treaty I think we can find language to express <br /> <br />that idea. <br />"', <br /> <br />MR. CARPENTER: state what you said to me a while ago. <br />MR. Dl,VIS: I har.dly think it is necessary. :If we want to <br /> <br />make it apparent that weare not recogniziJ;jg any present right <br /> <br />in Mexico, either under that contract, or any other way, I see <br />no objection ,to saying so,- starting the paragraph right off <br />with a flat statement that the States, by entering into this <br /> <br />compact do not admit or recognize any right in Mexico to the <br /> <br />right to demand any water whatever,- being the idea, - not the <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />language. <br />MR. Cl~RPENTER: Let me give you an idea to pick at,- it came <br /> <br />\I <br /> <br />into my range of thought and is probably worthless. Suppose it <br /> <br /> <br />would be stipulated in this compact that the burden of supplying <br /> <br />all water that was necessary to pass Yuma for diversion below <br /> <br />." <br />
