How is it to be divided ? Sir. the Government of the United States has already done its full duty in disposing of and managing this trust. and this money is not due to these people. or if it is due it is due from the Creek Nation to them. and the amendment of the Senator from Texas is the correct amendment. If there has been any mistake in this matter it was the mistake of the Secretary of the Interior. concurred in by the Treasury Department. of taking from this particular fund rather than from the general fund of the Creeks for the loyal refugees. If you correct that. then you must charge up the sum so wrongfully taken from the Creek orphan fund to the general fund of the Creek Indians. which is large and ample. The Creek Indian Nation is the richest nation of people in the world now. it is said.
