tenders of Atlanta, Generals Joiil
Elell Hood, Joseph E. Johnston
and Joseph Wheeler who fought IN
the open and did not do SO from
behind masked hoods. Because oil
Cheir yalor, Mr.. Pearson said the
whole country proudly acclaims
them"
"They had the courage to differ,
but the chivalry to champion those
difference not behind coWardly
sheets but in the full light OF day
said the columnist.
THREATENING LETTERS
Mr.. Pearson revealed that ne
had received threatening letters
which challenged his right to come
to Atlanta and called him car
pet-bagger. He stated:
A carpet Dagger is not desp1sed
by history because his home was
in the North but because OF the
crimes he committed against the
South in the South. And his
worst crime was forcibly ruling
helpless people for his own ends.
The old Khan of reconstruction
days may have been necessary to
combat the carpet-baggers But to-
day, with duly elected governments
everywhere in. the South, the Khan
has reversed it's role of reconstruc-
ton days and now has become the
modern carpet -, The
twentieth century carpet-bagger
is the Ku Ku Klan." continued the
.'adio commentator.
COMPARED TO HITLERISM
Mr.. Pearson traced the spread OF
Hitlerism from it's inception to the
stage that it affected the whole of
Europe and finally engulfed t h e
world causing the last World War.
He said that HitleriSm should have
been stopped at it's beginning and
now the same mistake must not
be made here in America IN re-
CARDS to the Khan, He said:
"Ku KluX KlaniSm and all other
isms which preach hate are not
merely the business of the South;
they are the business of the ma
ton =. And, as with Hitler, the
time to stamp them out is now"
The columnist declared, race
cannot stand against race, minori-
ty against minority. 1t may be
fashionable to denounce minori-
ties, but minorities made Ameri-
ca"
War gives incidence TO hate and
men cannot always cast off the
habit of hating over night, as
serted Mr.. Pearson, when there is
no longer a common enemy men
hate each other and especially
they hate the weaker minorities,
he said.
The radio commentator cited
many instances of cruelty and I'M
American activities of the Khan
since 1918 and the following latest
developments. y.
"Klavern No. 297, Atlanta Grand
Cyclops Sam Roper has informed
Klansmen that Governor elect
Gene Talmadge viii reinstate him
as head of the Bureau of Investl-
misunderstanding to the Grand
Cyclops, Talmadge has promised
that all race problems will be lett
to the Khan.
"Atlanta--The Khan proposes or
ganizing new secret labor union
of Gentle ProtestantS White Men"
One object would be to slow down
production in factories run by Jews
and Catholics---exactly like Hitler"
OPPOSED TO CHRISTIANITY
The objective and technique of the
Khan are Numerically opposed to
the teachings of Jesus Christ aver
red Mr.. Pearson He recalled the
parable of the Good Samaritan, and
declared:
Men who betray Jesus teachings,
betray his cross by flogging inno-
cent victims under it's shadow can
reap only unhappiness wherever
they may go They have to live with
themselves.
PREDICTIONS
In concluding his broadcast, Mr..
Pearson said:
Immortality means in part that
men live in memory of other men
as do the beloved heroes of the
South. But a Klansman's reward is
to be remembered with scorn until
the end of man, and the descen-
dants of the Khan will be ashamed
GAS long as books are written and
men read them, the Khan, like
Hitler will be condemned for its
doctrine of hate"
ON Stone Mountain. the Klan
talked of lynching other men. When
Christ spoke on mountain, He
spoke of loving His fellowmen.
History reveres men of goodwill
But history will ridicule and des-
pise the fiery crosses on Stone
Mountain because the fry cross
breaks faith with the cross on Cal
