TREATY DRAFT REPOSES
ON SECRETARY'S DESK
mieuranTnv Sprit. 7. Them Is
a red-hot potato spoiling the varnish
on the desk of Undersecretary of
State Sumner Wells which may well
have caused him to embark with ad
ditional speed on hla European vaca
tion. The sizzling tuber that he skillful
ly avoided was the draft of a treaty
with Mexico, suggested by Senators
Sheppard and Connally of Texas, but
carefully guarded from the public
eye. It was dropped on the under
secretary's desk Just aa he turned the
key. and there It lies. -
Back of this suggested treaty Is
a story reminiscent of the lurid dra
mas of the early west, where strong
men fought It out over rights to the
desert water-holes. So far, the slg
nlficent details have reached only
a few ears, but by the time congress
convenes again, a loud explosion is
promised.
The situation arises over a three
cornered fight among the Mexicans,
the Texans of the lower Rio Grande
valley and the folks of Colorado,
New Mexico. Arizona and California,
whose fields are Irrigated by the
Boulder dam project of the Colo
rado river.
The Mexican say that they aren't
getting their share of the Rio Grande,
which, since it's a borderline stream,
la In part thelra. They say they will
be satisfied, however. If they are
provided with seven million acre
feet of the water from the Boulder
dam project.
The westerners can't that at all.
They say that It would Jeopardlzo
their projeot If more than a million
feet were spared.
As a result of this Impasse, the
Texans claim the Mexlcana have tak
en direct action to force the issue.
That la -what has caused the Texas
tarmera of the southern Rio Orande
valley to .rise In their wrath.
They say this action consists In
part of the digging of a canal low

Hitler made It plain that Germany's

Italy, Japan and Germany are
bound together in a community of

He added:
"The natural community of Inter

Red Flag
MOSCOW, Sept. 7. (AP) Soviet
press outlets warned bluntly today
that Italian "fascist aggressors" have
begun a game In the Mediterranean
"which may havo terrible conse
quences." Russia, which baa protested direct
ly to Italy against the sinking of
Soviet freighters by "Italian" sub
marines was represented, however, as
viewing these "aggressors" with "cool
contempt."
It Is awaiting action from an "anti
piracy" conference of Mediterranean
powers in Switzerland Friday, the
communist newspaper, Pravda, ex
plained. Said Pnavda:
The Soviet Union, "conscious of
Its strength, can sneer with cool
contempt at provocations of the fas
cist adventurers, who are losing their
heada."
Pravda. added its opinion that the
conference "doubtless would estab
lish tha danger to navigation created
by the aggressive activities of the
fascist war fleet."
Today's fulmlnatlona followed the
Soviet Union's filing of a strong pro
teat with Italy against sinking ot
two Russian merchant vessels in the
Mediterranean. The protest waa de
livered In Rome yesterday.
Italian reaction to the protest was
mentioned In Moscow in only a
roundabout way, Pravda saying:
"It la possible that the Italian
fascists will attempt to deny respon
sibility for the piratic sinking of So
viet ships. Such denial of Indubit
able facts will not deceive anybody."
Other powers, particularly England,
were crtlclzed again for failure to
act.
