By CHARLES GRENHAM International Illustrated News Writer LOS ANGELES—When the 75th congress convenes on January 4,' one of the Issues which it will be asked to consider is a proposal that United States purchase from 1 Mexico the peninsula of Lower■ California. The state department, though, probably will urge that the bill be' buried in committee, as being dis- i turbing to friendly relations between the United States and Mex- ■ ico It is urged by proponents of the ' plan that it would add some 584)00 : square miles to continental United Suites and would provide an ideal winter playground for the west eoast in addition to the increase ingly important agricultural value of the section. Since the peninsula was conquered during the Mexican war and turned back to the southern republic under terms of the treaty, spasmodic efforts have been made to purchase the territory. None of these attempts have met very serious consideration, however, on the part of Mexico. In fact, when the plan was last proposed, one Mexican legislator expressed himself pointedly by introducing a bill proposing the purchase from United States of California, Texas.

| New Mexico and Arizona! In the past decade, though, i Lower California has become more • and more bound up with California. ■ both in respect to agriculture and I industry. American interests figure I importantly in the development of rich oil reserves, copper deposits ' and soil reclamation. Some of the ! most fertile valleys along the coast ; are located in the peninsula and I await only an extension of the I present irrigation system to be • converted into rich cotton and fruit > territory. I While the purchase has not yet . been incorporated into a bill, it was proposed during the closing weeks of the last congress by Representative Charles Kramer of Los ’ Angeles that a joint senate and house committee investigation of . the matter be launched. Even 1 American citizens, however, would attack such a bill—and Mexican citizens would be aroused, especialily since American oil interests I would benefit. Ideal Winter Playground Several factors are cited by ■ backers of the proposal as logical reasons in favor of the plan. Lower California is so detached from the rest of Mexico that the • residents there are more closely allied with California than with ' Mexico. Moat of the peninsula's

I revenue comes from the states from either tourist trade or fruit jand produce imports. Many are of the impression that most of Lower California is desert, I but the territory has innumerable valleys which would be highly productive if the irrigation system, now limited to only a small sector, were extended. At the mouth of i the Colorado river are also several . million acres of rich cotton land. And along the sea coast one can ■ travel for miles through some of the most picturesque scenery on the North American continent. Quite as desirable as the much- ■ sought California coast in the ■ vicinity of Santa Barbara and San ■ Diego, this section may in time turn out to be one of the playgrounds of the world. Furthermore, since the close of the gambling establishments at Tia Juana and Agua Caliente, inter- ‘ nationally known for its racing and night life, there have been rumbles 1 of discontent among those who live close to the border and are believed in favor of annexation by United States. Below this section, which closely resembles southern California, is a mountainous belt of wasteland j which in turn gives way to an almost tropical country and eli- , mate at the southern tip of Lower I California.
