CLAIMS OF CALIFORNIA INDIANS al
In view of the fact that the Jurisdictional Act permits
the United States to plead as offsets to the judgment in favor
of the plaintiffs amounts expended to the date of the award
“made under specific appropriations for the support, education, health, and civilization of Indians in California, including purchases of land,” the Attorney General of California
as early as 1931 made efforts to obtain from the General
Accounting Office a report covering possible offsets, but it
was not until 1934 that the report was filed. The principal
reason for the delay was the fact that the preparation of such
a report required a vast amount of research and detail work
in segregating and compiling information scattered through
the accounts of many disbursing officers and claim settlements,
and these records were already in use in connection with other
petitions and could be made available in this case only in a
proper order of assignment.”
