WALKER WRONGS STATE
THAT HONORED HIM

ATLANTA, Oct. 24.-Addlng MS
voice to that of other government
officials who directed tae destinies
Of the United States under the
leadership Of President Woodrow
Wilson during the World war,
Marion NJ. jackson, of Atlanta, on
Thursday in letter to The Consti-
tuition, bitterly upbraids Governor
Clifford Walker for his charge,
made in a speech before the Ku
Klux Khan Klonvocation at Kan
sas City, that the Catholic church
was shown favoritism in the war
environments at the expense of all
Protestant churches.
Mr.. Jackson, during the war
period, was secretary of the navy
departments commission on tram
ing camp activities for the United
States, and as such was in constant
touch with all stations, camps and
fleets Of the U. S. navy, most of
which he visited in his official ca
pacity.
The late John j, Eagan, of All
fanta, was at the head of the navy
department commission on camp ac-
Invites. and it was under him that
Mr.. Jackson served. AS he states
IN his letter, this work was "headed
by an elder in the Presbyterian
church, with another Presbyterian
elder as secretary, set up under the
administration of Woodrow Wilson
himself an elder in the Presbyterian
church"
Mr. Jackson quotes the charge
made by Governor Walker in his
6lan speech, as reported in the Of
fetal organ of that organization
that a Catholic secretary of a
sympathetic president so manipulat-
ed the chicanery of politics that he
placed in the center of every ma
tional war camp a Catholic church,
and drove outside of the border
of that camp, on the back streets,
in the back yards, on the alley.
ways, every Presbyterian, every
Methodist and every Baptist and ev-
cry other Protestant church"
Then Mr.. Jackson points out that
th9 men in chargeof the war camp
activities, in addition 20 himself
and Mr.. Eagan, were Raymond Fos-
dick, of New York, the son of a
Baptist minister and brother of the
foremost Baptist minister of the
day, John r. Mott, executive head
of the National and International
Young Mems Christian association,
and John S. Tichenor, associate
general secretary, the national ex-
ecutive head of the Y. M. C. A.
work in the army, navy and marine
camps
Concluding his letter, after a
complete refutation of the COVER
nor's charges, Mr.. Jackson says;
Whether Intentionally or not,
Governor Walker has done the
state which has honored him, a
grievous wrong, and has cast slur
upon the living and upon the MEM
ory/of our sacred dead.
"Should he not, as governor of
Georgia, and as a professed follow
er of Jesus Christ, seek to- undo
what he has done?"
