Senator 7 uIks
On Indians

Senator Goldwater, Republic
can, of Arizona, declared yester-
day that it would be unwise for
the Government to withdraw its
protection from all Indian reser-
vations now under its control as
provided for In withdrawal
bills" now pending joint con-
gressional action.
In an, address before the
Twentieth Century Club, the
Senator said that in the case of
his own State, there are some
Indian tribes that are ready for
it and some that aren't"
He expressed the opinion that
the decision for Government
withdrawal Of protective rights
should come from the Indian
tribes themselves.
Senator Goldwater said he
thought the Apaches could take
care of themselves. because they
have proved themselves good
businessmen, with most of them
making an average annual in
come of $4,000.
In such a case, he added, con-
tinued Government protection
would actually hold them
back"
The Senator conceded that
passage Of the Withdrawal bills"
would abrogate Government ire
aties with the Indians, but said
that in most of the treaties no
time limit was attached to the
Governments promise of pro-
tecting the Indians land rights.
In all fairness" he added,
1--WE must devise ways of giving
title to these Indian lands"
Senator Goldwater said he had
introduced a bill which he hoped
would avoid future confusion
over fair division of land titles,
by defining beforehand just
what is an indiana"
Senator Goldwater spoke at
the clubs monthly meeting at
the YWCA. He was introduced
by Mrs. James Austin Stone,
club president.
