The Washington times., 1937-09-17

Van Devanter wrote that lower
courts were right in ruling the
Klan's secrecy was "a cloak for
acts and conduct inimical to per-
sonal rights and public welfare"
The decision charged the Khan
twas conducting a crusade against
Catholics, Jews and Negroes and
stimulating hurtful religious and
race prejudiceS; that it was striv-
ing for political power and aSsum-
ing a sort of guardianship over the
administration of local, state and
national affairs; and that, at
times it was taking into its own
hands the punishment of what
some of it's members conceived to
be crimes"
Despite the Supreme Court de-
cision, the Khan in 1886 held a
convention in Jacksonville, Fla,
marched through the streets in
ghostly white robes and displayed
an electrically Illuminated fiery
cross. The convention conceded
with the trial of three men in
Tampa in connection with a fatal
flogging but Imperial Wizard
Evans denied his organization
The Washington times., 1937-09-17

of nationwide demonstrations pro-
testing against "alien labor agi'
tation." The campaign, leaders
revealed, is directed against the
C. 10.
The Khan was revived back in
1928 to campaign against Alfred
E. Smith on the slogan that "a
Catholic cannot get into the
White House." KlanSmen burned
a fiery cross near the railroad
tracks as Smiths train ap-
preached Chicago.
On November 10, 1928, the Su.
preme Court Of the United States,
in an opinion written by Justice
Van Devanter, branded the Khan
an undesirable organization. The
! decision upheld the New York
State anti-Klan law which made
distinction between the Klan
and other secret organizations.

Khan History Told

Wilhelm Won Oesen, Manhattan
Bund member, who spoke at eel
lar meeting of the New York post
on July 10, elaborated on his views
in a conversation with John C.
Metcalfe, who became an Amer
lean Nazi storm trooper under the
name Of Hellmut Oberwinder. He
told of the history of the Khan
from the time it was organized
after the civil war to drive ne
groes out of North Carolina.

some years ago." Won Oesen ex-
planned, "it was broken up
through discretion from within
caused by Jewish agents who
were paid plenty for their work,
for the Jews feared the Khan.
"And there always was much
pressure brought from the out
side upon movements of the
Khan. Finally, it "'as broken up.

Both organizations are bit

Purposes Similar

do you think that in view
of the Klan'S platform it would
be helpful to the Bund?" Met
calfe asked.
"And howl" the 100 per cent
American Bund member replied.
I'm many ways we have identi-
cal aims and purposes. The
Khan would be a Godsend to
the Bund, particularly in the
South, where we are most in
need Of support now. A power.
full Khan would be very helpful
to us. There is every reason
we should work together. We
have the same enemies"
Fritz Kuhn, national leader of
the Bund, referred to important
contacts" in the South, but did
not mention the Khan by name, in
conference with Metcalfe August
II in the fuehrer's swastika-deco-
rated office at Bund national
headquarters in New York city
Metcalfe had just returned from
a trip to the West Coast on which
he carried Kuhn's greetings to

I the growth of anti-Semitism in
various sections of the country
and Kuhn appeared deeply in
terested.

fuehrer said, II am convinced
anti-Jewish feeling is rising
everywhere in the United States,
just as it rose in Germany and
other nations in recent years.
This is. of course, very
good sign for us, because we
hate Jews and stand to profit
by anti-Semitic feeling.

people of America are beginning
to rise up against the Jews. And
! that is very important because
they have money and influence
at their command. This is par
ticularly true in New York, Flor

AS evidence of the growing anti.
Semitic feeling, Kuhn mentioned
the response he had received from
circular letter he had sent out
under date of August 10 ito whom
it may concern" The letter was
a bitter attack on Representative
Samuel DickStein, of New York,
for his libelous utterances" against
the Bund and Kuhn.
This letter really has started

know it. And soon the whole
country will know it. He has no
influence in Congress. They
laugh at him and they hate him
there. I know personally some
who would like to get rid of him,
once and for ALL"
While Kuhn makes a pretense
at restraint in his attacks on enc
mics of the Bund, speakers at Sc
cret meetings of the Ordnungs
Dienst, storm troop organization,
blast out in Klan-like style.
Storm Trooper E. Schwenck
spoke on 1.-THE Racial Question"
at a Manhattan o. D. meeting on
the second floor of the Atlantic
Gardens Cafe on Second Avenue,
near Seventy-ninth Street, the
night of July Is. He denounced
conditions in America which had
permitted tolerance toward "the
black race all these years."
National socialism in Amer
lea, and this form of govern
ment only, will wipe out the
black threat" he declared.
Negroes Assaulted
II warn you as a national So
cialist that this black-race ques-
ton, like the Jewish menace,
is of paramount Importance"
Making show at historical
background, Schwenck traced the
history of the United States from
the landing of the Pilgrims and
cited the shipment of black slaves
from Africa. He pointed to the
Civil War as one of the horrible
results of permitting Negroes to
settle in America and recited the
growth of the Negro population
over the years.
To-day we have 100000
Negroes and 100000 muIattos
in this country. And like the
4 per cent Jewish population
their blood is constantly slipping
into the veins of the white man.
This evil must be abolished. The
niger" must be shipped back
to Africa, from where he came
and where he belongs.
National socialism will re-
store a complete white race to
America. And the day is coming
when this will happen"
The Bund specifies membership
is open to American citizens or
prospective citizens "of Aryan de-
scent and free of Jewish or colored
infusion" The Klan'S objects are
to unite white male persons,

United States.

Following is another poem from the Nazl primer
nslated by a German expert and versifled by
mes J. Metcalfe.)
THE ETERNAL JEW
When Jesus Christ came here to die
He chose the IUicked JeW
To torture and to murder Him
As only JeUs could do.
And so the Jews haze aluUays thought
That thus they came to be
The "chosen people" of a World
Resigned to cruelty.
NouU, as the burden of the cross
Became too much to bear
The Lord beheld doorstep small
And sought to linger there.
When instantly appeared a JeW
Who lOouLd not let Him stay,
But shouting out the UiLest odths
He drOUe the Lord GU0y.
For this the uvretched Jew cursed
And by the Lords decree
Compelled to roam about the earth
For all eternity.
This wandering JeU and all the JeuOs
Haze wandered day and night;
TGO0 thousand years Without a hOme'
TGU0 thousand years in flight
The wandering Jew sneaks like crook
Through city and through tOUOn,
With eUery form OF crime and shame
To Ueigh his shoulders dOGOn.
He has been seen in Hamburg and
In Denmark and Berlin;
In Dresden and in DGnzis and
In Paris he has been.
Believe it, children, you uOilL find
Him sne0kng here and there,
He hides himself in every JeW,
He is most Everywhere
He sneaks just like Sinking fox,
So, children, be guard:
The wandering Jew is dangerous,
Cruel, cold and hard.

Tampa case.
HedrtenS Bund
The most recent revival Of the
Khan during the past few months
has hearCened Bund members
whether or not there is any defin-
lite understanding between the two
organizations that preach racial
and religious 0igotry.
The Bund movement against
Negroes is inspired in Germany
where the current doctrine Of
Aryan supremacy originated. Der
Steuermer, Julius Streicher'S noto-
riouS Jew-baiting newspaper pub
lished in Nuremberg, carried pic
lures in July Of a Negro secretary
to President Roosevelt at the White
House" and of Mrs. Roosevelt
greeting a group of Negroes.
That's the kind of rotten,
shameful thing we got to stop in
this country" Storm Trooper
Schwenck remarked after his
speech in New York denouncing
Negroes. Think of having to ask
a niger" anything at the White
House."
Look to KLansmen
The Bund believes Klansmen
will be among the host of KAN
eraden" who will join it in battle
to the death against Communism
when Der Tag" arrives.

other sources" Fuehrer Herman
Schwarzmann, of the Astoria

Later that night Schwarzmann
rode with John Metcalfe on the
subway to Yorkville, explaining he
had to go over to national head
quarters as he "had work to do on
the Weckruf," Bund newspaper
Schwarzmann became so inter
ested in his own explanation OF
an alliance against Bund enemies
that the pair rode in the wrong
direction and had to return by
bus.
"The Bund is growing very
fast" he declared. I'VE have
more than doubled our member

they are not members for one

Method of Election
I attend several Bund meetings
in Astoria and march around the
Turner Hall gymnasium before the
June oath meeting, called to noml-
nate and elect delegates to the
national convention. There are
more than 100 present and roll call
indicates a membership of about
$50 of whom 80 are storm troops.
Members are given no choice in
the selection of delegates. Fuehrer
Herm SchWarzmann merely

passed around to each member.
We are asked to vote ia" or
"Nein" as the names Of candidates
are called. Schwarzmann explains
the purpose of the convention is
to elect a Bundesfuehrer and de-
clareS he cannot conceive of the
election of any one but Fritz Kuhn.
He asks if any one is opposed to
the method of conducting the
election. No one dareS protest.
He announces the vote and it
shows that despite the steam-roller
tactics there is opposition ranging
from 5 to 10 per cent. Schwarz-
mann declares the delegates
elected and asks any one opposed
| to reelection of Kuhn to raise his
hand. And no one dareS to protest,
if he wants to.
Members groan when Schwarz-
mann announces the convention
banquet at the Biltmore Hotel will
be open to all of us but that the
price will be $3.50 a plate-but
dozens or more indicate they will
buy tickets.
More Funds Needed
Then comes discussion of how
to raise more funds for the con-
Struction of our posts house at
Camp Siegfried since there is only
a few hundred dollars left in the
fund. One member suggests the
price of beer served at meetings
be raised from 10 to 20 cents with
the difference going to the build
ing fund. His suggestion is lost
when others declare many per-
sons will lose their thirst in the
face of such price.
1--WE could serve salt herring"
Schwarzmann remarks with .
wide grin. They'll drink beer
then"
1t is finally decided members
will loan from $40 to $25 to the
post with the money to be paid
back year from September with
funds derived from club activities
at the camp house.
! Schwarzmann delivers a brief
speech in which he pictures the
horrors of revolution in Spain and
predicts that within a year or so
France will experience the same
thing. A similar disaster then will
follow in America, he declares.

Pagan Rituals
Burn Prejudice
In Young Minds
By WILLIAM MUELLER

Flaming NaZi swastlkas shoot tongues OF
hate towards the heavens in the U s. today,
symbolizing the same ruthless intolerance
that flares with the fiery cross of the Ku
Klux Khan.
Rituals as pagan as those now being revived
by Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler in Germany
mark Amerika Deutscher Bund celebrations
in which American children participate with
their Hitler worshipping parents.
Regimented boys and girls stand in awe as
American Nazi storm troopers light flames
which forms the symbol of national socialism
against black sky. Thus the mark of racial
and religious prejudice is burned deeply in
their impressionable minds.
