what happened last week in Lake

white citizens in other Georgia
cities. During the last five years

Khan Threatens Whites
As Well as Negroes
By Albert Anderson

ATLANTA, Feb: II. (ANP)-
A study of the activities of the Ku
Klux Khan made largely from
newspaper articles during the past
five years gives strong evidence
that organization has been almost
as great a threat to the freedom,
civil liberty and advancement of
white people as it has been in
some cases to Negroes.
The Khan has threatened white
people whom it's officials or mem
bers did not like. 1t has proved
dictatorial with respect to its eff
forts to force white people to ac-
cept it's doctrines and policies.
Khan leaders claim the organiza-
TONS aim is to preserve Ameri-
canism and democracy, but the rec
ord of the khan proves the exact
opposite.
No group proves the danger of
intolerant organizations to the
rights, security and we'll being of
all American citizens regardless Of
race more than the Ku Klux Khan.
Many times adherents of democ-
racy point out that bigotry, in
tolerance and hatred though aimed
at some particular group will soon
err or later be aimed at other
groups. The record of the Ku
Klux Klan proves this thesis.
The Ku Klux Klan has threat
ened white citizens in different
parts of the south even when the
basis for it had no relation what

to some 40 leaders of various de-

Generations later, when the
settlers of the Delaware Valley

Inmates, Norwegian paper produc-
ton viii reach approximately 4OO,-
900 tons this year. Though some
what below the pre-war peak, the
figure is the highest since the
war, and approximately on par
with the output for 1888. Some
100000 tons will be exported while
the remainder will be retained for
domestic. markets.
Norwegian pulp and eellulose
production, on the other hand. is
but a fraction of pre-war, due pri-
marily to domestice timber needs
for reconstruction and to short
age of loggers. With production
of over s million cubic meters
planned for the coming winter
season, every effort is being made
to secure the 10000 loggers and
1900 drivers necessary to carry
out the program. Some $500 work

10 districts, while dry food will
be distributed to $3.50 children in
26 districts. In northern Finland.
distances are so great and areas
so sparsely populated that it is
impossible to arrange for cooked
meals, so the children receive their
rations as dry food.
The Most Needy
In every district, a doctor. to-
gether with a deaconess and nurse
of the district, selects the child
rem most in need, both on the basis
of their physical condition and the
economic situation of their homes.
Most of those chosen are the child
rem of invalids and war widows.
The Finnish program is part of
the child-feeding project which
was launched last winter in six
countries, including Germany. Po-
land, Austria, Hungary and Czech

participating bodies of the Ma
tional Lutheran Council and the

length of the skiing season, the
excellent skiing conditions and the
unsurpassed scenery In fact, the
Land Of the Midnight Sun was be-

again to receive winter tourists
and skiers with all her pre-War

commodations are plentiful and of
high quality.
