WASHINGTON, ID. c., April IL
Representative La Guardia, an ltal-
ian congressman from New York, who
Is fighting the johnson immigration
bill with all his might and main. is
evidently a reader of the Fiery
Cross, for he knows what is being said
In various editions Of The Fiery Cross
and he put a lot of it in the Con-
sressional Record in his speech on
April 8.
Just bear in mind as you read what
he says, that La Guardia is OF Italian
stock, he himself is member Of the
order Sons of Italy, which is in itself
un-American, redictic, requires the
italian language to be spoken in its
lodge rooms, etc. Representative
Raker, of California, asked him about
this, and La Guardia lied when he
said what he did in reply. just as he
lied recently on the fooor of the
house to Congressman johnson, au-
thor Of the bill, and as result the
house considered his ia Guardia)
changing his remarks before printing
same in the Record, so that he falsi-
fed the Record in making the
changes.
After the ku kluX
Mr.. La Guardia in his April 8 speech
said in par: "A great deal has been
said about the foreign press. The
foreign press is not the only kind OF
press taking an interest in this prop
osition. / have here in my hands a
publication which has featured re-
strictive immigration legislation for
q long time. II you will read The
Fiery Cross of January l8, 1924, you
will find there an alarming headline
entitled: Americans Heritage Men
aced, Says DR.. Evans and who is DR.
Evans? Why The Fiery Cross says
that he is no less than their Imperial
Wizard, Knights of the Ku Klux
Khan, and a fve-column article car
rying the Imperial Wizards views,
opinions and instructions to Con-
gress printed in detail in the Fiery
Cross publication of the hooded
knights. Then the Imperial Wizard
says QUOTED from DR.. Evans article)
., etc.
Reads Fiery Cross
"And in The Fiery Cross of Friday
March %, 1924, we find that the ener-
getic gentleman from Ohio, Mr.. Ca
bic, put the floor leader of the ma
jority on record and required him to
do so in writing, according to the
news report in the flaming paper, and
] read:
Congressman Cable one of
the sponsors of the immigration
bill, was determined that a vote
be urged with the least possible
delay. so he obtained the follow
ing written statement from Mr..
Longworth.'
"Then we find the written promise
was the statement given to the press
by Mr.. Longworth in outlining the
legislative program of the house some
ten days ago, and / quote from the
so-called written promise as contained
in the paper:
1.-THE immigration bill will be
considered Immediately follow
ing the passage of these bills.
The bills referred to being the
regular appropriation bills.
Cracks at Dayton
'Then turning the pages of The
Fiery Cross to the editorial section,
we find this startling pronunciamen-
to:
"'For those VINO might not be
aware of it, it might be stated
here that Ohio is one of the chief
strongholds of the Khan, ranking
next to Indiana, which at this
time leads the nation in Khan

unit, Dayton is one of the strong
est Khan cities in Ohio. Dayton
