are studying the conditions of Negro
life with special reference to the
home, the school and the church, and
are seeking to promote similar study
in all local women's groups, clubs,
missionary societies, etc. They are
undertaking also many practical plans
for improvement of schools, santa
ton, health, child welfare, and the
like The unmeasured condemnation
Of lynching invariably voiced by these
groups has been powerful factor in
awakening public sentiment to the
enormity Of this evil
The growth Of understanding and
cooperation between the races is evil
denced by the fact that Negro agen-
cies are now being included in prac-
tically all Community Chest cam
paigns in the South. In Atlanta six
distinctively colored organizations are
so included for total of $34, 500, and
in addition provision is made for par
tial support of the Georgia Race Re
lations Committee Local interracial
committees are always active in these
campaigns, forming convenient points
of contact and understanding.
A press service is conducted which
reaches regularly all the daily papers
in the South, a hundred leading re-
iigious weeklies, and all the colored
papers total mailing list Of about
one thousand. To these periodicals
more than fifty separate communica-
tons were sent out during the past
year. These releases were very wide
" printed and must have reached
millions Of readers with messages Of
better understanding and good will.
Group conferences or personal in
terviews have been held with editors
Of principal dailies to the number Of
hundred or more, in which their
sympathy and cooperation have been
asked. Almost without exception the
response Of these men has been most
gratifying and their sympathy has
been manifested practically in their
news and editorial columns.
1t should not be understood from
the above that the race problem in the
South has been solved. Only be-
ginning has been made But it is a
hopeful beginning. A method has
been found that works--the method
of conference and cooperation. A
road has been discovered which. if
consistently followed, will surely lead
us out-the road to the hearts of men.

Part 5. RESULTS

Following is brief summary indi-
eating the principal lines OF work
carried on by the Commission and its
allied state and local committees, and
some Of the results attained:
The facts about lynching have been
carefully digested and given the
widest publicity through the press and
otherwise. Special laws for the pre-
vention and punishment OF mob vio-
lence have been studied and efforts
put on foot to have the laws Of GER
tain states strengthened at this point.
Maps 81 the Southern States showing
lynching areas and data have been
prepared and used in the big Summer
Conferences, in the colleges Of the
South and with other groups.
In Georgia much attention has been
given to the collection Of evidence and
the prosecution of participants in
lynching cases. Twenty-Five indict-
ments were returned and four con-
victions secured, with penitentiary
sentences. In previous years indict-
ments in such cases had been practi-
caliy unknown.
Legal aid has been extended in
many cases in Georgia in which Ne
groes have suffered from mob VIC
lence, exploitation, and the like. Sew
eral thousand dollars have been raised
locally for this purpose. 1t is be-
lieved the results have been quite
salutary.
The effort TO secure better educa-
tional conditions for Negroes has
been everywhere an important part Of
the work Of interracial committees,
state and local. Scores Of fine schools
have been built, participation in bond
issues secured, terms heightened, sal
aries raised, etc. In Atlanta alone
$1,2O0,O00 is now being expended for
new colored schools as the result Of
an agreement brought about through
the local interracial committee.
The Commission and its state and
local committees were given primary
responsibility for the promotion Of

KHAN LIVES ON LIES, SAYS
VIM. ALLEN WHITE; THE
WORLD TOMORROW IS
SUES KHAN NUMBER
N.A.A.c.P. Press Service

The World Tomorrow magazine j.
devoting its March number to the
Ku Klux KIan, and among the con
tributors to il are William Allen
White, editor Of the Emporia Gazette.
Wilfrid Lay and w. P. Beazell, exec
utive editor Of the New York World.
Mr.. White charges that all criticism
Of the Khan is met by lying away un-
favorable facts.
Whenever an unpleasant story
about the Ku Klux Klan appears in
the papers" writes Mr.. White, "the
Klansmen explain it by saying that
the great press associations are con-
trolled by Catholics and Jews. Every
possible unfavorable thing to the Ku
Klux Khan locally, regionally or ma
tionally, is always lied away. The
membership lives upon its suspicious,
and over-suspiciousness is the father
and mother Of credulity.-In due
course the saturation point will be
reached in the credulity Of the KIans-
men. $50 They will wear themselves
stale in believing impossible things Of
their neighbors the Jews, the Catho-
lies and the Negroes"
John McPike Keresey, another CON
tributor to the number says that
Catholics condemn the Khan as they
would condemn any other corrupt
lawless, disloyal and disintegrating in
fiuence in American life
Mr.. Beazell describes as follows the
wares offered by the statesmen Of the
Khan:
DO you hate, or even dislike, Cath
lies? Join the Kanl Do you hate
Jews? Join the Klanl Do you hate
aliens? Join the Khan! Do you hate
some neighbour? Join the Klanl
The statesmen were not so crude
as to put it in this bold fashion.
There has never been a time when
all concerned have not protested that
If is maliciously untrue SO to construe
the objects of the Khan. But boil it
down and see what the residuum is.
It is hatred, and hatred in the coward
ly guise that finds expression only
through mask"
Mr.. Beazell warns Of the Klan's
political power:
There is no use blinking this fact.
The Khan dominates Texas; il domi-
mates Oklahoma; it is powerful in
Kansas and Missouri; il Is powerful
IN Illinois, II is powerful in Ohio;
It is powerful in Western and Eastern
Pennsylvania although not in the
Central section. Its membership in
New Jersey is greater in proportion
to the population than in any other
state, perhaps. 1t is negligible in New
York, but strong in Connecticut.
Here is Ku Klux Khan belt that
binds an actual majority of all the
people of the United States. Through
this territory every endeavor has
been bent toward political power, and
usable political power. 1t is a situa-
ton that is worthy of the considera-
ton of every sincerely devoted citi-
zen. The Khan today numbers no
more than 100000 members, but
they are shock troops, make no mis-
take about it."
