That is a total annual production to which the Japanese would develop this land within a generation of Ten billion dollars a year--and very little of the land is to-day cultivated. Most of it is unreclaimed desert. In addition to this the mineral output of the states lying entirely within that territory for 1913 was as follows: Arizona $71,000,000 California 100,700,000 Idaho 24,500,000 Nevada 37,800,000 Oregon 3,500,000 Utah 53,000,000 Washington 17,500,000 Total $308,000,000 In addition, a considerable portion of the states of Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming lies within the territory under consideration. The mineral output of these states for 1913 was as follows: Colorado $54,000,000 New Mexico 17,800,000 Wyoming 12,500,000 Total $84,300,000 The total mineral production of all the above named States, and including Montana, for the ten years ending with 1913 was $3,322,003,895. The lands in the delta of the Colorado River where the Japanese are now settling comprise more than a million acres of the most marvelously fertile land in all the world. The Japanese who are now going into the delta country of the Colorado River are not going where they are unwelcome. The American who wants to use their labor to cultivate his land, in order that he may get a profit from it without working the land himself, is busy starting the Asiatic invasion that will eventually sweep over that Land of Promise. It is an invasion that will ultimately transfer that country from American to Asiatic control, unless the American people wake up and decide without delay to do _the one and only thing_ that can possibly prevent this from happening. What is that "one and only thing" that they must do to save the Colorado River Valley for our own people? _Why it is to occupy, cultivate, use, and possess it ourselves, and do with it exactly what the Japanese would do with it if they possessed it as a part of the territory of the Empire of Japan._ What would have to be done to accomplish that has already been told. _How is it to be done?_ By thrusting to one side the speculators and exploiters and demanding from Congress the necessary legislative machinery and money to conquest the Colorado River Valley from the desert, with exactly the same inexorable insistence with which the money would be demanded if it were needed for defense against an invading German force that had landed in New England and was marching on New York; with exactly the same irresistible popular cyclone that will roar about the ears of Congress in the future, if their supine neglect now does some day actually lead to a Japanese invasion of the United States.
