Furthermore. each of the seven States directly concerned has two Members of the Senate. by which any treaty proposed must be ratified. " Question 12. Is it true. as has been asserted. that If the Colorado River compact be approved the water should reclaim 2.500.000 acres of land in Arizona will go to Mexico and there irrigate a vast area owned by American speculators. who will cultivate the same with Asiatic coolie labor and raise cheap crops in competition with Arizona and California farmers? If such assertions have been made. there is absolutely nothing in the compact upon which they can be based. They are the result solely of unrestrained and unfounded imagination.
