It has fallen like a blight over any new copper development in Arizonaa blight worse than the boll weevil and the corn borer. Arizona must cling with the desperate tenacity of a drowning man to her rights in the Colorado River as a source of water supply for reclaiming her now arid wastes. and this Boulder dam bill deliberately proposes to take the water away from Arizona and send it to Mexico. Then Arizona will not only have to meet the competition of the Egyptian fellaheen. which has ruined her market for longstaple cotton. and the competition of the Andes Indians and the geestring labor of the African Congo in her copper market. she will also have to meet the coolie labor of Asia in her food market from Japanese cultivating the rich delta of the Colorado River and irrigating those competing lands with Colorado River water. stolen from Arizona for the benefit of a speculative syndicate in Mexico. by the building of the BlackBoulder lowline AsiaticMexican project. Once lost to Arizona. this water is gone forever. It can never be restored to her.
