(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
NEW YORK—In an address entitled
Nations in Nightshirts,” in which be
condemned both Fascism and Com
munism, Secretary of the Interior Har
old L. Ickes castigated the Ku Klux
spirit. He spoke at the annual meeting
of the Civil Liberties Union.
"Shortly after the World War,” he
said, "America, as a land of liberty,
was menaced by the madness of men
in nightshirts. Citizens, who, thereto
fore, and again thereafter, were decent
and law abiding, with a due regard
for the rights and privileges of others
with whom they had long dwelt in
neighborly amity, became temporarily
mad in a craze to squeeze into uni
formity the rieh and diversity of de
mocracy. They had created a duty to
hate men born in other countries, al
though their own ancestors had all
been torn there. They created a duty
to suspect every man torn in this
country erf one race and religion, heap
ing contumely upon negroes, Jews and
Catholics. Riding forth at night in the
anonymity of cowardice, they dragged
men from their beds, tarring and fea
thering, assaulting, and. in some in
stances, even killing their victims.
They’ hypnotized themselves into be
lieving that they did these things to
improve our civilization, to protect our
institutions, to keep our blood stream
pure.
"Where benighted men of our own
country at one time indulged in a mo
ronic exhibitioism which disgraced the
nation, we now find nations that toast
of their civilizations committing deeds
of unprovoked violence against their
neighbors. And, just as it was with Ku
Kluxers tore, these nations in night
shirts pretend to believe that they are
doing their daily good deed. Invading
armies are sent across the borders of
other countries that are so weak and
helpless as to offer a helpless prey. ’
He condemned those who, pretend
ing they are striving to save the world
from Communism, ruthlesly suppress
liberties in the name of Fascism. He
also, however, denounced Commu
nism, saying that "from the view of de
mocracy the two arc fundamentally
the same thing.”

$10,000 given to him by his fiancee for
the purpose of building a chariable

friends in very embarrassing positions,
as well as himself, which causes Lto
trend of comedy throughout the play.
