My brother, Phil, in some res
poets, has one-track mind. AS
spoke of Walter Jones, Phil's
mind started off on tangent w.hicl
took it very far from either Sheila
or me. DT
"Walter Jonesl" he exclaimed
I've heard a lot about him late
ly. He is the father of Susannc
Jones. l remember hearing her tall
about him. She drove canton in
France. 1 saw great deal of her

they do not specify in their ritua
that this is the case, they imply it,
and l have seen the actual pro-
paganda as it is handled. The elias
sifieation of the white Catholic
and Jew with the negro is a stupid
blunder, if nothing else. 1t is stup-
id, because, in the event of trouble
on an extensive scale stirred ur
by this organization or by its psy-
Geological effect on the country, it
is splitting the white race into
factions at time when it should
stand together.
As 1 shall show further on, in
discussing the history and structure
Of the original Ku Klux Khan, there
is absolutely no racial condition
in the South or anywhere in Amer
lea today that warrants the exist

even worse than folly to make the
religious element figure into ques-

the subject the discrimination

As a general proposition South

Of sympathizing with Californians
in their peculiar racial problem, and
would probably back them in every
way that is legitimate, but the jap

handled by the State department
in Washington, and not BY the .I2n-

rigorous campaign for members of
