WHAT FOR?

EFFORTS are being made to or
- ganize the Ku Klux Klan in Ken
newick. Does Kennewick need the
Khan? If so what for?
We are told the purposes of the
Khan are to: practice an honorable
clanishness toward each other; to ex-
emplify a practical benevolence; to
shield the sanctity Of the home; and
the chastity of womanhood; to main
tain white supremacy; to teach and
faithfully inculcate a high spiritual
philosophy through an exalted ritual
ism, and by practical devotedness
to conserve, protect and maintain the
distinctive institutions, rights, privi-
leges, principles and ideals of pure
Americanism.
If the Khan can find justification
for organization here it can find it
only in the fact that the life of the
community has strayed from the gen.
eral direction of these purposes.
Has it so strayed? Against what
or whom is the sanctity Of the home
to be shielded? Have the ties of
|hearthstone broken down? If so, in
what particular? Is the chastity of
womanhood being violated? Are our
wives or daughters unsafe on the
streets, or in other public places
The community has neve tolerated a
public prostitute or professional street
walker, and where is the community
with record of fewer illigitimate
births or illegal co-habitations?
It white supremacy being threat
ened? There isn't negro, an Indian
or a Chinaman in the community.
There are some half dozen families Of
Japs, who work hard, pay their bills
mind their own business, and send
their children to the public schools.
The state law prohibits their getting
possession Of any of our lands Has
the state government broken down,
are its officials refusing to enforce
this law?
Is "a high spiritual philosophy" not
being inclucated? What Of the COM
munity's eight churches? Are those
edifices but sticks and stones monu-
ments of mockery? What higher
spiritual philosophy than that taught
by the Christ, has the Khan to offer :?
Or would the spiritual teachings of
Kennewick's pastors be more effec-
tive were they to wear masks, and
hoods and conceal their identities
Are the civic institutions Of the
community becoming corrupt and de-
cadent? Are the rights Of the cit
liens being abrogated or denied? Are
the privileges of citizenship being de-
MED? Are the principles and ideals
J of pure Americanism being under
mined, weakened or set at naught?
In brief, what is there for the Khan
to do in the community? The fact
that there are so many Catholics in
the United States, that gambling,
bootlegging, concubinage was ram
pant in Mer Rouge, Louisiana, or that
the organizer needs the money, are not
arguments germane to the question
lof organizing in Kennewick. On that
question there can be but one ar
gument-the good Of Kennewick.
What can the Khan do for the
good of Kennewick? Is there work
here for it to do? If so, let's lay off
Rome and talk about Kennewick.
What the Khan will do if it or
ganizes here, viii be to set up re-
/ ligious strife, which has not hereto
fore existed; it viii feed upon preju-
dices, kindle hatreds, arouse suspic-
ions, disrupt organizations. shatter

IS UNCLE SAM Sinking?

TT IS repeatedly asserted by those
I who seek to have the United States
intervene in Europe, that this coun-
try is not doing its share to help Eu-
rope recover from the effects of the
war. Just what is meant by this it
is difficult to know, inasmuch as those
VIII repeatedly make this assertion
never give specifications or particu-
lars as to what they think the United
States ought to do.
In a financial way, however, it is
hard to see how the United States
could do more than it has done, unless
it deliberately makes our taxpayers
perennial and perpetual Santa Claus
for every spendthrift and bankrupt
nation in Europe.
In the first place until the recent
funding of the British debt to this
country, the United States has not
called upon any European nation for
a repayment of any money borrowed
of this country during the war, or
even of the interest on the money bor-
rowed. In other words, Europe has
had free use for five years of over
eleven billion dollars of money loaned
it out of the treasury of the United
States-money contributed wholly by
the taxpayers of the United States.
Europe has not been called upon to
embarass itself to the extent Of one
penny by making provision out of it's
funds for the payment of her debts to
the United States.
Since the war, European nations,
European municipalities and Euro
pean corporations have been perfectly
at liberty to negotiate loans in. this
country which would provide them
with all the funds they needed. This
was always, of course, predicated up
on the assumption that they would
give assurances the loans were good
from the standpoint Of sound financial
practice. In 1920 foreign govern
ments, municipalities, and cor
porations negotiated loans in this
country in the sum of $576, 1922 900.
In 1921, the loans aggregated $685.
$4,000. In 1922, the loans aggregat-
ed 1869 1896, 900. Summed up, during
the last three years foreign govern
ment municipalities and corporations
have borrowed in this country TO-
att of 5000, O0O, 900 with which to
and reconstruct CONNER
cial and governmental projects.
The year 1928 starts off with the
promise Of exceeding any one Of the
three previous years. Already for
eigns loans negotiated amount to $685.
153. 600. There is nothing in the
world to prevent European nations
and European enterprises getting all
they money they want in this country
unless they do not constitute good
customers II they are not good GUS
toners from the standpoint Of finan-
cial interests, ready and anxious to
loan money, they certainly are not
good customers from the standpoint
Of the United States government If
European nations are not solvent
enough to. justify private financiers
making them loans, they are not SOL
vent enough to justify the United
States. throwing them any more mon
ey raised by levying taxes upon the
American people The clamor that
the United States is not doing it's
share to rebuild Europe has no foun-
dation in fact.
