Johnson in signing thc formal ratification of the treaty recent ly approved by the Senate, said the agreement demonstrated "that old and distasteful prob lems can be solved when men of honor try and sec each other's viewpoint." Johnson, a Texan himself, signed the document in thc treaty room on the second floor! of the White House. The agreement provides for the transfer of 437 acres of American territory to Mexico and an accompanying transfer of over 200 Mexican acres to this country. Dispute over thc land along the . Hio Grande River consti tuted.x according to Johnson, a "thorn m-.the. side of our rela tions with Mexico for nearly a century." Johnson expressed the hope that thc Chamizal treaty would be a model for settlement for further problems in this hemis phere and the rest of the world with similar tolerance and trust." The pact was ratified by the Senate on a vote of 79 to 1 last Tuesday. Designed lo settle a boundary hassle thai has shad owed relations between thc two nations for almost a century, it returns to Mexico a section of land losl when the Hio Grande changed course in 1804.
