Gerard, former ambas- sador to Germany, addressing the B'nai Jeshurun Synagogue in New York in condemnation of the Ku Klux Klan, advised the Jews not to wage war against the Klansmen on the ground that it would simply in- crease the racial and religious an- tipathies stirred up by the Klux men- ace. Mr. Girard pointed out that "it is for us to attend to the Klansmen, and we shall do it. Leave them to us." The former ambassador was right. The Klan is not raising a strictly Jewish question. It is an . American problem. The Klansmen are violating the holiest principles of the land and are stirring up re- ligious and racial hatreds. They are striking at the very root of the con- stitution. The fight against this or- der should therefore be conducted by the government and by the people as Americans. Because the K. K.

On the contrary, it becomes even more prominent a duty of the Protestants of the land to tear the evils of this movement out by the very roots. visits us told me that you were in- terested in me, and I thank you f or it.
