Section 5 of the bill. I might say. as it was reported in the committee amendment. automatically makes any child born after the enacment of this act free and unrestricted. regardless of the status of his parents. The general terms of the bill would make it possible for Indians to apply to naturalization courts and get unrestricted rights as citizens to handle their property and to manage their own affairs. The Office of Indian Affairs has been opposed to the enactment of the bill. The last time it was called on the Consent Calendar It was objected to by the gentleman from New York. who explained to me later that he did so because of the opposition of the Indian Office.
