The fight against the Ku Klux Khan
is growing more interesting and more
widespread every day, and the Khan Is
fighting back against its enemies with
vigor. Various papers in many parts
of the country have undertaken Eek
posures' of the organization and its
methods and aims, and the Khan has
started or says it will start libel suits
against those publications that misrep-
resent it. In Chicago an organization
called the National Unity council has
been formed with the avowed purpose
Of suppressing the Khan and its So
called .invisible empire" The council.
which is to be extended throughout the
country, Is headed by Edward f.
Dunno, former governor of Illinois. He
says the Ku Klux are menace to the
nation because, they "avowedly pro-
scribe millions of their fellow citizens
solely because, either they worship
God in a manner permitted by the Con-
stitution of the United States, or be-
cause they were born without-the Uni
ted States. They place the black man
without the pale Of the law. Such or
CARNATIONS foment racial, religious
and political enmities instead of en-
couraging comfy and friendship be-
tween all classes of American citizens,
which should be the aim of every
broad-minded American"
Meanwhile the Khan continues to
grow in numbers with extraordinary
rapidity, now having, 1t is said, more
than half million members, and be-
ing organized In every state In the
Union except New Hampshire, Utah
and Montana.

The great packing concerns OF Ar
mour, Swift, Wilson and Cudahy last
week put into operation the newly de-
vised American shop representation"
system, their government-sponsored
agreement with their workers having
expired. All disputes are to be sub
mitted to shop councils comprised of
employees elected representatives and
persons selected by the employers, and
national councils, to which shop coun-
ellis may appeal, are to be formed In
similar manner. Employees represen-
tatives must be employed in the shop
and must be citizens or have taken out
their first papers. Amy person is eligi-
BILE for employment, whether a union
member or not. While this is 'open
shop" the packers say it is not a
change of policy since they always
have been open shop. Ninety per cent
Of their workers, they say, assented Il
the plan.

The assembly of the League of Ma
lions continues to function, in disre-
gard of the assertions of various per-
sonages that the league is virtually
dead. Parenthetically, it may be said
that the treaty Of Versailles guaran-
tees the leagues life for 80 years for
the purposes of administering the Saar
basin and the control of Danzig. The
chief accomplishment Of the assembly
last week was the election Of judges
of the international court of justice.
Elihu Root having declined, for per-
Sonal reasons, to be candidate, the
Latin-American group brought about
the election of John Bassett Moore of
New York. He and ten others were
accepted by the council Three deputy
judges also were elected and con-
firmed, but there was trouble over the
choice of the fourth deputy, Three
times the assembly elected Senior Al
varez of Chile, and three times the
council voted for NJ. Descamps of Bel
GUM. At last the deadlock was re-
ferred to a committee. Senior Amador
| of Panama threatened to withdraw his
delegation if Alvarez was not accepted
| by the council.
The question of the leagues compe-
| tence to judge the Tacna-Arica dis
| pute and the Chile-Bolivia treaty was
referred to committee of three jur-
lists. Senior Edwards of Chile stated
that he was not prepared to admit that
| the league was licensed to intrude in
! purely South American affairs in vio-
lation of the Monroe doctrine. Senior
Aramayo of Bolivia, having received
new instructions from La Paz, with
drew his demand that the dispute with
Chile be included in the agenda of the
assembly.

The Irish-meaning the Sim Fem
ers-were willing to hold conference
with the British cabinet at Inverness
this week, as proposed by Premier
Lloyd George, but, as was easily pre-
dicted, they didn't want to submit to
the only condition imposed, that the
Sim Fein must abandon its demand
for separation from the empire. De
Valera sent Harry Boland and Joseph
McGrath with his acceptance of the in
vitation, but in his letter he made sew
eral reservations, chief of which was
his objection to admitting Ireland's al
legiance to the British crown before
entering the conference. He also ar
gued that II the premier objected to
the secession Of Ireland from the en-
pire he should not support the seces-
sion of Ulster from Ireland
Mr.. Lloyd George sent the couriers
back to Dublin with message to De
Valera that his note was unsatisfac-
tory and he had better write another.
This the governor supplemented by
telegram to De Valera canceling the
arrangements for the Inverness con-
ference because he felt that, in view
of the Irish attitude, negotiations
would be useless. The premier was
as conciliatory as he could be con-
sistently, but at this writing 1t
is uncertain whether the negoti-
ations for peace will continue. The
Dali Eirann, however, named its dele
gates for the conference, If 1t is held,
and De Valera is not one Of them. The
delegates are: Arthur Griffith, founder
of Sim Fein and republican foreign
minister; Michael Collins, minister of
finance; Robert Barton, secretary of
economic affairs; canon Duggan, chief
Irish republican army llaison officer,
who helped to arrange the truce, and
George Gavan Duffy. the Irish envoy
to Rome.
Several of these men are classed as
moderates. The Freeman's Journal of
Dublin says: 'Their task may have its
difficulties, but its successful accom-
plishment VIII be the crown of great
achievement. Both nations have their
hearts set on an honorable ending here
and now to the struggle Of centuries.
Their desire is well within the realm Of
possibility and practicability. All the
efforts of the would-be wreckers In
Great Britain hitherto have failed.
There is then enough craftsmanship in
the Irish delegation to confirm that
failure and to complete a fabric of
peace"

Washington.-Repeal Of the guar
anty section Of the transportation act,
reduction in railroad rates, equal pro-
lection for agriculture under tariff and
adequate credit facilities for agricul-
ture was announced as the legislative
program which the American Farm
Bureau Federation will recommend to
Congress as an aid to farmers. The
program was formulated by the execu-
tive committee of the federation after
a two-weekS conference here.
Strong opposition was expressed to
any sales tax, to repeal Of the excess
profits tax and to any tariff on lum-
Der and fertilizer. Another recon-
mendation proposed the submission
of constitutional amendment pro-
hibiting the issuing of all tax free
securities as more than $16,O00,O OO,-
900 in securities now escape federal
tax"
The federation reaffirmed its stand
for packer regulation vested in the
Department Of Agriculture, and oppo-
sition to any federal excess tax on
land.
The attention of Congress was
called to the important and differ
ing factors affecting food products
from the American farm in their re-
lationship to imports of like products
from foreign countries" in consider
ing the labor cost in making up the
tariff law. Attention of Congress also
was directed to the center" of food
production of the United States as be-
ing somewhere" in the Mississippi
Valley, while the center Of consump-
ton is in the populous areas Of the
east, many hundreds of miles away"
Ocean freight rates from competing
countries to the consuming centers
were declared to be much lower than
are the exorbitant and increasing
freight rates from our farms to our
own consumers"
After setting forth that recent ex-
periences" have shown that the farm
ers are mot adequately financed" and
that their welfare is jeopardized when
they avail themselves of the present
short-time commercial credits, the
federation recommended legislation to
provide proper authority for commod-
ity and cattle financing and for per-
sonal credits secured by proper insur-
ance features.
Announcement was made that a
committee consisting Of John Brown,
Indiana; w. G. Jamison, Colorado, and
Chester H. Gray, Missouri, had been
named to study the Muscle Shoals,
Ala, nitrate project. The committee
will hire engineers for the work and
report their findings to the executive
committee.

Berlin Declares Proposals Intricate

Berlin.-The ultimate t5tal indem.
nifty which Germany agrees to pay the
allies is 100000, 0000OO gold marks, as
against 100000, 100000 demanded by
the allies in their Paris terms.
This Is positively stated by those
close to the government, although the
German contemporaries have not
been made public here.
DIR. Simons, the foreign secretary,
did not present the new proposals to
he Reichstag because Of an under
standing with the American embassy
Yard for the additional reason that
there is paragraph in the note to
President Harding suggesting that he
feel free to query back for further In
formation or the calculation Of any
point not clear, If he so desires, be-
fore submitting the note to the en-
tente.
Consequently the German press and
public, and even the party leaders,
and their publication is eagerly
awaited.
The Germans suggest making the
anuities in the payment of the rep
arations flexible, dependent upon the
recovery of German industries An
international loan is suggested, to be
floated Immediately for the purpose
of placing ready cash at the disposal
Of the entente, but no sum is named.
Germany expresses her willingness
to pledge the customs revenues as
guarantees and further offers to de-
liver manufactured articles to the al
lies with the understanding that Ger.
many will pay the producers and get
credit on the indemnities. Germany
also offers immediate participation in
the work Of restoration in the devas-
tated areas, labor and materials to be
supplied by Germany and credited
against the indemnities.
No suggestion is made of Germany's
willingness to assume the indebted
ness of the allied powers to the Unit
ed States.
Germany's counter proposals are so
intricate and involved that the experts
who have read them express the opin-
ion that they may be misinterpreted,
as the London offer was, by persons
who did not analyze them carefully
and work out the total amount that
would have been yielded.

PATENT RIGHTS.
RESTRICTION is DEMANDED
Ieo1 Patents on Ordnance BY German
Citizens Transferred to krupp-
Granting Of Such Patents May
Be Limited.

Misunderstanding Of German
citizens in obtaining patents from the
ytAlnerican government embodying
ypany Of the principles of American
railroad artillery and other ordnance,
led Secretary Weeks to ask congress
for legislation limiting the granting of
patents to foreigners.
The war secretary said 2O1 ord
nance patents had been obtained here
by German citizens since last July
and all transferred to Frederick
1rupp, the great ordnance manufac-
urer at Essen. -
1T seems to me significant" said
secretary Weeks, In letter to Vice.
President Coolidge, that out of IL
patents selected at random, eight
pertain to railroad artillery and en-
body many of the principles Of our
own railroad artillery. In view Of
the circumstances, l feel constrained
TO bring the matter to your attention
for such action as you shall deem de-
sirable in the interest of the United
Estates.
Corrective legislation seems neces-
sary. The principle involves the pol
Icy of the government granting pat
ents to nationals or countries with
whom the United States it at war.
Furthermore, the question arises
whether we should not require all
foreign patents to be put into opera
Ition within the period of, say, two
FOR three years, so as to forestall a
condition arising similar to that re-
lating to the dye industry at the be-
ginning of the late war wherein the
Germans through their patent activi-
ties in this country, had practically
eliminated American manufacture of
Ydyestuffs because Of the protection
received by their American patents
which were not licensed or otherwise

Hythe, England. Lloyd
George and BRAND Of Great Britain
and France, have practically agreed to
tighten the screws on Germany.
Americas refusal to act as medi-
ator between the allies and Germany
was interpreted at the conference
here as permission to proceed with
their plans.
Another decision in the two-hour
conference was to reject the German
offer to reconstruct the devastated re-
gions of France.
The two premiers first took up the
German note offering the reconstruc-
ton program.
BRAND argued earnestly against 1t.
1t was apparent that his decision had
been reached before he crossed the
channel, and he fastened to bring
Lloyd George to his view.
His chief argument was that Ger
man workmen and German materials
in large French area would tend to
make that region dependent on the
Germans in the future. He also dis
liked settling one angle Of the dispute
before the whole matter Of reparations
had been arranged. When the two
seemed to be agreed on their attitude
they took up the question of further
occupation of Germany. BRAND was
even more intent on occupation than
he was at the previous conference in
England, when it was decided to oc-
cupy Dusseldorf and adjoining towns.
The two had before them the Ger
man and American notes in which the
Harding administration refused to In
tercede with the allies. BRAND inter-
preted it as indicating American APP
proval Of the allied handling of nego-
tiations and was for an immediate de-
cision to advance.
BRAND said he would not be con-
tented with mere occupation Of the
rich Ruhr valley. He declared that
occupation heretofore has not been
entirely satisfactory. 1--WE must ad.
minister as well as occupy" he declar-
ed firmly. The matter was unsettled
at the close Of the conference.
