Dawes, Republican. vice presidential nom!- nee, in an address here today, de- slared that. such organizations. stim- ulated lawlessness and presuged the dtsintegfation of civilization into savagery. “Phe Ku Kiux Klan in many lo- caiities and among many people,” He’ said, “represents only an instinc- tive groping for leadership, moving in-the interest of law enforcement, Which they do not find in many eewardly politicians and office hold- ers. " But it is not the right way to fOrward law enforcement.” *The candidate recounted the ef- fect of Klan activity in Oklahoma Where Governor Walton,» who had fimally called out the militia, was Thoved ftom office and “quiet was restored by the otderly process pro- vided by the constitution and the lg.” ‘The attempts of the Klan to- restore order after the Herrin massacre in Illinols, he said, “nearly brought on clyil and in the “bloody corner’ tions by the intimidation nesses. “"The same thing happens," he continued, “when minority organ!- gations, whatever the high purpose they claim, whatever they may be ealled, take the law into their own hands, Force rises to meet, force; lawlessness rises to meet lawlessness yd civilization commences to dis- grate into the savagery from which through the ages it has evolved.” of wit- fh a SS ares FE ilm .

DAY OF WARS Io PASoING, NAVY CHIEF ASSERTS Significance of Arms Pact Is Recited in Radio Address. ‘DES. MOINES, ‘Towa.; Aug. 23.— The time will come when there will be ‘no more wars, declared Curtis D- Wilbur, secretary of the navy, in an address rad!ocast fromm here’ today He sajd that while he was equally persuaded that wars must needs come, happily many are on a, very small scale and do not affect the world at large. The greatest success of the arms conference, he said, was the “‘assur- ance that.if the great powers main- tained ‘the treaty ratio of 5-5-3 there could be no aggressive war between the signatory -powers which could possibly suéceed.” “It is true that treaty. provides for a 5-5-3 ratio by reason, of the scrapping of the splendid battleships and i which are under construction, continued, “and by reason of fact that the building program of auxiliary ships is not fully author- ized or completed, the ratio of Brit- ain, the United States and Japan in maferlal {is 5-4-3. “We anticipate that the spirit of the disarmament treaty will be car- ried out by the United States gov- ernment and that the auxiliaries that. are necessary to put us cn a parity with England will be sup- plied. “A powerful navy may not be able to prevent all wars any more than a fire department can prevent all fires” the sécretary said. “But a well prepared navy may prevent world wars. We need fear no enemy on earth who will give us an opportunity to prepare for war for our wealth and man power make-us invulnerable if we are pre- pared. “The President has announced that at the first favorable opportun- ity he will approach the’ other na- tions of the earth for another con- ference for further limitation of armaments.
