Klan Helps Communists All Over the World
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. (ANP) Probably one of the best friends of the so-called world wide Communist movement is the Ku Klux Klan. At least, Red propagandists think so, anyway.
Currently one of the most popular methods depicting the difference between American life and Communistic life is to show a picture of the white-robed Klansmen parading through the streets. Often Communists dress like the hooded mobsters and parade in city streets of satellite countries such as Czechoslovakia and Poland.
