Mr. President. " where there is no vision the people perish." Every American citizen who favors or aids the use of the Colorado River in Mexico is false to every obligation of humanity and patriotism. The AsiaticAlnerican war bred by that use of the river would be a war in the aira war of annihilationa war to determine whether the Asiatics or Americans should possess the fertile shores of the Pacific in America. Every American citizen who will learn the facts and give thought to them will be irrevocably convinced that the waters of the Colorado River must and shall be used for irrigation in the United States of America. and not in Mexico. They must and shall be used to reclaim 5.000.000 acres in Arizona and California. which should include irrigating 1.000.000 acres in the coast basin of southern California. extending from San Diego to Ventura. instead of being used in the Imperial Valley of Mexico and on the great citrus mesa stretching away to the east from the Colorado River in the State of Sonora. in Mexico. "Get the vision" of what the coast basin of southern California will be when every Irrigable acre from the mountains to the sea. all the way from San Diego to Ventura. is abundantly irrigated with local waters supplemented by an adequate supply from the Colorado River.
