wu^Si h?ri,ed to announce that
R!j? ?f the Man would ba sent to
^Snouse to investigate what had
r^rred on August 24, the data of
" vhe kidnaping.
- y "If the klan of Morehouse parish is
* in any way responsible for the murders
of Watts Daniels and Thomas
Richards the charter of that klan will
be lifted and the klan outlawed," it
was announced.
"If any individual members of the
klan are found guilty of thesen(pur^
ders, not only will they be ou^mfed
from the klan but eve re hit of nearer
the klan hu will be used to help obtain
their conviction* before the criminal
courts of the state.
"The story told by United States
department of Justice agents that
members of the klan in black hoods
formed the "wrecking crew" for the
kidnaping and murder of Daniels and
Richards is absurd. There is no such
regalia in any part of the Ku Klux
Klan or in any of its degrees."
The klan chiefs scored the tale that
Clarence Darrow "or any other prominent
lawyer" had been retained by
the klan to fight in the defense of the
rmen who might be charged with the
murder. "The klan has raised no defense-fund
nor has it made any defense
appropriation,' it was stated.
A signed staterant issued to the
press several day# ago by an unofficial
spokesman of the lforqhouse klan
^ declared it had offered the sercices of
- its 100 members to the state in solving
the mystery and I

ji 'tonight over those designated for arrest

fcidnapings and murders.
The citizens were anxiously awaiting
the passing of time, which would
reveal the identity of those marked.
The nature of confessions, in which
45 men were said to b implicated,

HUGHES MAKES W
A SUGGESTION
New Havw, Conn., Dec. A
lufgMtion that mm independent commission
of men competent in ftnenelal
affairs could accomplish more than a
general international conference towards
solution of the European reps-caiiejru^
tangle was put forward by
Secretary flURitw tonight in the irst
public pronouncement on the eeoaomic
crisis to come from responsible
officials of the administration at
Washington. The secretary, who
( spoke before the American Historical
association, added that he had "no
doubt" distinguished Americans
would be willing to serve on such a
commission, which, he said, might be
kept free from any responsibility to
foreign offices or any duty to obey
political instructions. Once advantage
had been taken of the opportunities
thus afforded, he said, "the avenues
of American helpfulness can not
fail to open hopefully."
> Referring to suggestions that the
United States assume the role of arbiter
in the reparations dispute, Mr.
Hughes said a sufficient answer to
that was the fact "that we have not
been asked." He went on to say he
did not believe this government
should take such a burden of responsibility.
Throughout his discussion the secretary
recognized that the questions
of German reparations lay at the
root of any economic settlement. The
problems abroad, he said, are world
problems, and could not be disposed
of "by calling them Eubopean." He
declared the United States would
"view with disfavor measures which
instead of producing reparations
would threaten disaster," and said no
one could foresee the consequences
which might ensue if forcible means
were adopted to obtain reparations
froth Germany."

ljurious consequences of a failure to n

"They are, however, European 0
>roblems in the sense that they can j
tot be solved without the consent of f
European governments. We can {
lot consent for them. The key to ,
the settlement is in their hands, not
In ours.
"The crux t>f the European situation
lies in the settlement of repara- '
tions. There will be no adjustment
of other needs, however pressing, until
a definite and acceptable basis for
the discharge of reparations claims
has been fixed. It is futile to attempt
to erect any economic structure in
Europe until the foundation is laid.
"How can the United States help in
this matter? We are not seeking!
reparations. We are indeed asking
for the reimbursement of the cost! of
our army of occupation; and, with
good reason, for we have maintained
our army in Europe at the request of
the allies and of Germany and under
I an agreement that its cost like army
costs should be a first charge upon
i the amounts paid by Germany. Othr
ers have been paid and we have noi
. been paid.
f "But we are not seeking genera
e reparations. We are bearing ou
y own burden and through our loans i
