Indian have the same right in this respect as any of his fellow citizens? The discrimination against the Indian is a relic of old times when Indians were not citizens and were classed with foreigners. as far as suits in the Court of Claims are concerned. Since 1924. when the last noncitizen Indian became an American citizen. pursuant to act of Congress. there has been no reason in the world why Indians should not have the same right to sue in the Court of Claims as anyone else. I do not know of anyone who would contend that the Indians should not have that right. I do not know of anyone on either side of the aisle here who would contend that Indians alone should be subject to illegal action by Government officials in the mishandling of Indian property and the denial of Indian rights without having full and free recourse to the Court of Claims.
