He said the Mexican government
was willing to discuss his theories be-

Mexican oil legislation, he added,
offered less obstacles than the United

oil wells as units, which was his pet
theory.

 Religious Pr0cessions

Cremona. Italy, Aug. 20 LI9 - Bishop Cassani of thIs diocese has issued an order forbidding process sions and other religious festivals in the suburbs of Cremona, because "in such gatherings the faithful are ex- posed to insidious perils,' because of the existence of numerous small dance halls. These outdoor religious festivals, the bishop says, attract people in such crowds that the dance halls spring up in great num- bers and as a result, under such circumstances, religious ceremonies instead of increasing Christian piety, aid worldly dissipation"

KHAN CHIEF WRITES
OF kU kLUX AIMS
Evans Says That 1t Would Save
America For Pioneers Des-
cendants.

The North American Review
in its current issue contains an ar
ticle by Hiram w. Evans, Imperial
Wizard of the Ku KluX Khan, on
the principles and future program
of that organization.
He says that the greatest a
chievement of the Khan has been
to formulate the idea of "preserv-
ing America first and chiefly for
the benefit of the children of the
pioneers who made America, and
only and definitely along the lines
OF the purpose and spirit of those
pioneers"
Next, he says, is that of leader
ship in the movement for Amer
icanization. Other achievements
claimed are education of the mil
lions of our own members in citi-
zenship, suppression of much law
lessness, increase of good govern
ment, restriction of immigration
and the defeat of the Catholic at
tempt to seize the Democratic
Party"
He says that the fact that the
Hobbies and corridors of Madison
Square Garden at the 1924 Demo-
cratic Convention were "black
with priests" proves that the Ca
tholic church "acts in politics as
a church."
AS to the negro, he says: "The
Khan looks forward to the day
when the negro problem will have
been solved on some much saner
basis than miscengenation, and
when every State will enforce
laws making any sex relation be-
tween a white and cOlOred per-
son a crime"
The Jew, he declares, is more
complex problem, and there seems
little hope of the assimilation of
the Eastern Jews.
DR.. Evans says that the Khan
will never abandon it's secrecy.
With respect to the future, he
says, I'VE of the Klan will contin-
ue the crusade for Americanism
to which we have been providen-
italy called"
