The Ku Klux Khan hasEassuned
new Importance in the minds Of
both Negroes and whites here in
Detroit in the last few months and
particularly since the riot OF last
week. There have been a number
OF statements. some made by persons
in high places. denying any Klan
activity in The riots. These persons
seem TO work on the assumption
that since no hooded Khan members
were seen in the mobs; ipso facto
there was no Klan activity. They
seem to forget that the Klan might
easily have provided theological
leadership without being reckless
enough to stand on street corners
directing the hoodlums. The Klan's
own denial of organized activity
in Detroit and its statement that the
Detroit group was dissolved last
year does not change the fact that
its poisonous teachings are still
strong here. Actually the Klan of
today has learned lesson in Sub
Lefty, and they know that the re-
gala and ritual which are used TO
such effect in the South must be
exchanged in the North for less
il no less effective
measures. The history OF the Khan
in the last war is such that to over
look the probability Of a similar
resurgence now would be criminal.
TWO KHAN ORGANIZATIONS
There have been two distinct or
CARNATIONS calling themselves Ku
Klux Khan in the history Of the
United States. The first came into

KHAN IN WORLD WAR
The second Ku Klux Khan was
organized in 1915 by Joseph Sim
mons. preacher and promoter in
Atlanta, Ga. The state OF Georgia
issued a charter TO this "high-class.
mystic. social. patriotic. benevolent
association" which was devoted 10
protecting womanhood" and TO the
idea OF the "Fatherhood OF God.
Brotherhood OF Man" as well as o
white supremacy" and real pa
triotism" ard pure Americanism"
Unlike the first Khan the Simmons
program included Jews and Cath
olics with Negroes in its campaign

tire nation and found ready re-

KHAN STRONG IN
POSTWAR YEARS

This second Khan grew slowly
and by 1920 had begun 10 decline
in membership and power. How
ever, Simmons was not willing to
allow the Khan to pass from the
American scene. so he employed
an advertising man 70 promote il.
The campaign for members was so
successful that in 1921 when Con-
gresS Investigated the Khan there
was a membership OF 100000. Its
rapid growth can be partially ex-
planned by the fact that il appealed
TO the postwar hysteria which was
sweeping the country. The South
and the Middle West were the
strongholds Of the Khan and the

that the envelope would reach the

envelope was delivered, but it had
been opened and the damage had

Supporters of Gen. de Gaulle, who
cannot deny the existence of the

French general is guilty of no real
abuse of diplomatic privilege, for
while he might be accused of inter-
ference in this Nations internal

Roosevelt is even now interfering in

The thesis of the out-and-out De
Gaulleists is, of course, that AlgierS
is France and that Gen. De Gaulle
is the chosen leader of the French
people.

with the limited recognition which
