Fiesta Association VIII Re-
fer Petition to City and
1t VIII Be Rejected.
MIGHT CAUSE TROUBLE
Officials Say Entrance Of
Klaismen Might Lead
to Friction.

The Ku Klux Khan will not be per
mitted to parade in San Antonio dur
ing the Fiesta San Jacinto. This
was definitely determined Monday
when it became known that the Fiesta
Association, to whom application was
made for permission to enter the par
ade, will refer the matter to city
officials. Mayor Tobin promptly said
that the city will refuse to grant the
permit.
Another obstacle to the entry of q
Ku Klux Klan float in the Battle OF
Flowers parade doomed Monday when
it. vas intimated that such . contln.
gcncy might iiniuenee' the army ~
refrain from participating The army
heretofore has played an important
part in the Battle of Flowers parade
hut it is believed that the entry of a
khan float would preclude partieipa'
tion By the army. Although no otfl-
ciai abatement has been made TO this
effect, it was learned on good author
ity Monday that the question already
has arisen and certain high ranking
army officers have expressed their dis
approval.
Association at its last meeting 10t
permission to enter a float IN the Bat
lie of Flowers parade and TO enter
klansmen in the night electricai
parade. So far the Fiesta Association
has taken on official action.
Not Aware OF Danger.
IT was learned Monday, however.
that the matter is to be taken up
Tuesday when the association again
meets and also "Wednesday when the
Rattle of Flowers Association meets.
If has been tentatively decided, it was
indicated Monday that both organiza-
, tions will inform the khan that it first
mist get hermit from the city be-
fore its petition will be granted.
II can state emphatically now that
no such permit will be granted by the
citv.- Mayor Tobin said Monday.
I'VE have taken our stand against the
paradinr of the khan in this city,
whether during the Fiesta or at any
other time and we are not going 10
recede from our position"
Those who persistently seek to have
the klan parade here. Mayor Tobin
said evidently are not aware OF the
danger.
Might Throw Brick.
81 want TO make my position
Clear the mayor said. Il am the
chief executive of this city and am
responsible for life and property. We
all know that the issues between the
Khan and the anti-KLan citizenry are
sharply drawn. In fact strong feeling
exists ON both sides. So far it has
been kept down. If. however. | We're
10 allow Khan parade. we do not
know what might happen. We know
there are radicals on both sides. One
or more of these radicals might be
inflamed by the appearances of the
kIansmen. He might hurl brick.
Then things would happen. | am con-
WINGED that the way to lSeep down
trouble is TO prevent khan parades aud
! will do SO as long as | am mayor OF
the city.
In support of this contention Mayor
Tobin pointed out that in a number
Of large cities in the north and west
there have been clashes between the
khan sympathizers and their oppo-
nents while San Antonio so far moth
ing serious has happened. Therefor
the mayor believes his course is 4
wise one and will continue to pursue

HOPE FOR TREATY

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily NewS.I
LONDON, Aug. 5.-Premier Mac
Donald's pet scheme for re-establish-
ing full relations with Russia failed
TODAY when a conference with the
soviet representative broke up with
out reaching a final agreement. 1t
is grave disappointment to Great
Britain's first labor government. to
a certain degree, mat the new trea-
ties with the soviets cannot be sign
ed here. But, on the other hand,
the government has the satisfaction
of having made Il great effort which
was thwarted only by the soviet dele
cation.
MacDonald's first move of foreign
policy after he became premier was
to cali this Inflated conference with
soviet Russia. When the bolsheviks
reached London April 8, they immedi-
ately made known the desire Of their
government for a loan of about
fifty million pounds which they ask
ed the British government to guar
antee. All their concessions in the
form of compensation for private
loss through COllAp llCei llOHo Ill JNuS7
STA and other losses suffered by Brit
ishers were made contingent on this
loan.
Naturally Premier Macdonald
could not make his government re-
sponsible for such a loan, nor could
he offer any other inducement to the
bolSheviks except those which would
be given in return for civilized con-
duct of Russian affairs. Four months
passed with occasional meetings OF
the Anglo Russian conference at
which the bolsheViks displayed in
Vulnerable maps, diagrams and
charts involving arguments all hing
ing on the loan. They wanted money
nothing else.
Great Britain offered an excep-
tionally favorable trade agreement,
which, had it been signed, would
have allowed the bOlsheviks to claim
the sum of ten millions pounds ly-
ing to the credit Of the Romanoff
government in the Bank of Eng
land. This now goes by the board
along with the other treaties. No
surprise is expressed here over the
result, as it was foregone con
clusion.
