editorial endorsement of the plan to
erect a memorial to "colored man,

pointing out that the measure is
sponsored by Senator John Sharp

eve are glad that the white race
appreciates the divine virtues of
truth and loyalty which the black
nanny had, and has in abundance,
out it overlooks the other divine
virtue that is here, a divine love for

that through them Americas con-
science would quicken and give her
children and her children's children
the justice they so richly deserve.

Assistant United States Attorney
Mattuck on Garvey's visit to Clarke
in Atlanta last June, when the latter
was Acting Imperial Wizard of the
Klan.
Garvey had denied alliance.
After the visit Garvey denied his
purpose was to affect an alliance
with the Klan. The investigation of
Garvey's affairs had disclosed that
the conference was in connection
with Garvey's Black Star steamship
line and the Universal Negro I'M
provement Association, of which he
is President General. After appear

promised to send to Mr.. Mattuck any

Again in August Garvey denied
that there was any relation between
the Universal Negro Improvement

time he said he talked with DIR.

Clarke told him the Klan was much
more in favor of the colored man as
an American citizen than of the

claimed ignorance Of the Klan's
widely advertised intentions towards
the race and stated the conversation
was for the purpose of placing him
in a better position to interpret the
Kan's attitude toward the colored
man, and denied any alliance was
formed. %. -
At the same time James L. Beav-
ers, Chief of Police in Atlanta, who
was running for Mayor, quoted
Clarke as saying in an interview that
the effected alliance had spread dis.
sension in the ranks of the Klan.
