Let me say that I did not oppose the amendment. I have no doubt the statement is true that these Indians are in a bad condition. and. while there is neither a legal nor a moral obligation upon us to take care of them. nobody else. perhaps. will. and I think it is well enough to let this appropriation go to take care of them. but I think the Department charged with these things should see to it that these foreign Indians are returned to their own country and that no more are allowed to come here. They are not immigrants. They can be sent back. they ought to be sent back. We shall have the whole Chippewa tribe from that section of British America here. because whatever people may say about the treatment of Canadian Indians our treatment of the Indians on this side of the line has been and is now infinitely better than it has been on the other side of the line. except with refbrence to a few Indians who went from New York to Canada in the early days after the Revolutionary war.
