ALBERT LEA, MINI, April T.
Twilight" Orn, editor Of The Mime
sofa Fiery Cross, was greeted by an
overflow crowd when he appeared Tor
his lecture here tonight. For nearly
two hours tho editor held his audi
ence as he presented number OF
pressing problems now confronting
the people of this country were given
frequent rounds Of applause attest
ing that he touched points whic h ran
in line with thoughts of the majority
of his audience. The Americans in
this community are very much in
sympathy with the Knights of the
Ku Klux Klan and growing more so
with each passing day.
There are 100000 foreign-born
people in the United States today,
only one-half of whom have become
naturalized," said Mr. Orn. Previous
to the opening of the twentieth CEN
tury. America melted down the fore
ign elements that came to our shores,
but in late years the type of aliens
coming to this country is obviously
such as to threaten the welfare OF
the nation"
"Even those foreigners that go to
the trouble Of getting an American
citizenship today are interiors to an
astounding degree. Seventy-tlve per
cent of the aliens naturalized be-
tween January ], 1907 and June 80,
1921, nearly 100000 peaple of un-
known origin and alien outlook, pos
sessed the mental development OF
children in the fourth grade or
worse. With cold figures laying
clearly before us the menace of mod
ern immigration, the demagogues
shout for wide open doors in order,
so it seems, to get votes from the
alien-minded peoples within our bor-
ders. You have seen the sinister &C
tivities Of the Un-American organi-
cations in this country as they seek
to stampede the politicians in wash
ington so as to bring about the de-
feat of the johnson immigration bill
Nordic Immigration Assets
"We are not getting the kind OF
people today that came to our shores
with the oil immigration tide: Our
Nordic forebears who came to Ameri-
ca as immigrants turned their backs
to the past and quickly grasped the
spirit of America making shortly,
citizens of the finest type. God-fear-
ing men and women they were with
strong minds and ready hands. they
set their plows in the virgin prairles
and drove their axes deep in the
primeval forests. Lo, and behold, in
a short period of time they took, a
mighty part in the building of the
worlds greatest nation. The new
immigration is Latin and Alpine
largely, therefore detrimental to the
best interests of the United States.
Let our senators and congressman
know at once that we will tolerate no
halfway measures in solving the
problem of immigration.
Especially l urge that you let the
senators know that you want an
American solution rather than one
of political expediency. The United
states senate has always been a
stumbling block in the way of COM
prehensive action, whenever the pro
blem of foreign immigration was de-
manding attention. There are at the
present time 100000 inferior and
very inferior aliens in this country.
A short-sighted immigration policy
will increase this terrible horde OF
human riff raft that we have to con-
tend with at the present time:"
