At Tucson it will connect with the Southern Pacific and the El Paso and Southwestern. and over them with the Rock Island at El Paso and the Santa Fe at Deming. Once this new railroad. which is now under construction west from Mexicali. is completed. the traffic of the interior Southwest will slide to tidewater at the head of the Gulf of California. instead of at Los Angeles. Los Angeles will then have paid a heavy penalty for her acquiescence il the conspiracy to steal the Colorado River for Asiatic development in Mexico. American manufacturers are asleep at the switch. They assume that they have no concern with the Colorado River. while a conspiracy of American land speculators. scheming to make a huge profit by stealing an American river and selling it to build an Asiatic competitive colony and manufacturing city in Mexico. would cut the very ground from under the feet of many American industries by bringing the competition of the Asiatic wage scale to America and planting it where its competition would be inescapable. An Asiatic wedge would be driven into the heart of America! And if that should be done. as the result of the apathy and indifference of those who have the most to lose by it. agricultural. commercial. industrial. and labor competition will inevitably ciiuse international friction that will in the end bring on a war between Asia and America. It will be a war in the air. The world port iu Mexican territory under Asiatic control will constitute an airplane base within an hour by fast military airplanes from the city of Los Angeles. Whenever that war is begun. fleets of bombing planes will wreck every source of water supply in the Southwest. the Los Angeles Aqueduct. the San Diego. Bear Valley. and Hemet Reservoirs. the Roosevelt.
