It happens that many Washing

occasion Of importance. The educa-

A proposal by the present admin
istration to create new conditions for
the American Indians is appraised
by friends of the project as an at
tempt to restore to the tribes some OF
the things Of which they have been
robbed during . period that extends
over many decades. The plan Is to
restore the lands Of the Indians to
tribal ownership and to get rid OF
the Government boarding schools
which have been opposed by many
aborigines. Opposition to the idea
is based chiefly on the contention
that Indians should be allowed to
live among the white people without
any attempt at communistic metnodS.
The Governments proposal is de-
scribed as "one of the most gratl1y-
ing of all the new departures OF the
Roosevelt administration" by the
Richmond Times Dispatch, wnlcn
holds that "under the beneflcient rule
of John Collier the Indians are being
treated as American citizens. rather
than as subjects of exploitation.
"The persecution and exploitation
to which this defenseless race has
been subjected over many decades is
one of the blots on the American
escutcheon." says the T1mes-D1s-
patch. THE sordid story OF the
Governments treatment OF the In
dians in the early days was un1oloed
in Helen Hunt Jackson's "A Century
of Dishonor.' Since the publlcatlon
of that volume in the mid-ninteenth
century there has been scarcely any
Improvement in the attitude OF the
Federal authorities toward the red
men. But now. under John Collier,
it appears that the Indians are to OBJ
tain much belated justice"
Describing the plan as AMBITIOUS
and forward-looking, approved In
principle by all the major organiza-
tions interested in Indian welfare,
the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
presents the review of Indian history:
Nearly half a century ago. the allot-
ment system Of handling lnolan
lands was enacted into law as means
Of stopping the wholesale despoh-
ment Of the red man. With its allo-
cation Of particular parcels to indl-
viduals it was a step toward putting
the Indian into undisputed posses
sion of his own, since after rs years
he could secure q patent fee and DO
with his property as he saw Mt. In
practice, however, the system. while
halting mass appropriation. facilitated
retail alienation Of Indian lands, and
Commissioner Collier blames the al
lotment law for the fact that 100000
Indians who are competent to earn
ther livings only by farming are land
less and HARMLESS, and most Of them
paupers. To meet this situation, and
to bring to fruition policies outlined
by the Merriam report on Indian az
fairs and developed as far Is possible
within existing law by the Rhodes
Scattergood administration OF the
Indian Bureau. Commissioner Collier

bodies principles he calls an Indian
