Moving the issue to a showdown Is the tact that upon completion of all construction for the diver- lion project, probably in the sea 'ion of permanent allotments of water become effective, and the present rental basis ends. Fourteen thousand acre-feet of water, most of it petitioned for in 1939, already has been allotted through the Northern Colorado Water Conservancy District to in- served by the Water Supply and Storage Company. These allotments have no relation to an Individual's amount ot stock In the company.

board thus far has taken the stand Informally that It will not deliver this water on an Individual basis and Is proposing that Individuals their al- Unments to the company, to he prorated back to them according to the stock they hold. Individual! opposing this view lay that It would result In many Instancei in their receiving considerably less diversion water than had been allotted to them. Harvey Johnson of Fort Collins, 1 member of company's board, says its stand based on the fact that the large stockholders have heaviest Investment In the system and must not be deprived of their proper share ot the carrying rights in the system. He estimated it would cost (300,000 to revamp the system to the point where water could be handled individually without up- letting these carrying rights. He said the board feels that in- Alvlduals should buy stock In proportion to the amount of diversion water they want, and he predicted the additional water will make some stock available at reasonable prices.

The board proposed about a year ago that the conservancy district make all allotments to the company, but district officials refused on the ground they already had been made In good faith to Individuals. The board then asked an allotment of about 6000 acre-feet to com pany, the difference between the 14,000 already allotted to Individ uals and the 20,000 the board fig ures Is the system's capacity for diversion water. District officials sail Saturday It Is unlikely this will be granted, however, as Individuals already had P'lor applications for about 10,000 icre-feet in addition tc the 14,000 already allotted. The subject Is one tor vigorous discuulon at Water Supply and Storage Company's annual meeting Jan. 12.

We have cut the ground out from under our ambassadors by the alacrity and frequency with which our Secretaries of State have visited Europe to personally conduct our foreign relations.

"I was fortunate enough to be In Europe when Secretary Dulles made his contributions to the discussions that led to formulation of the plan for Western European union. I therefore had an opportunity to see the secretary under the. most creditable circumstances. "An admirable as was the part he played.
