According to the Times Toronto correspondent, the organizer of Ku
Klux Klan, Mr. W. L. Higgett, who is passing through Canada, asserts that the Klan has already been established in the Western Provinces and will soon be operating over all the Dominion. Mr. Higgett says that the Klan, dispensing with hoods and cloaks means to " follow the methods of the Italian Fascisti " and to make a special attempt to draw closer the bonds between the two great English-speaking nations in North America. The Toronto Globe considers that the proposed confederacy of the United States and the Dominion, as envisaged by Mr. Higgett, implies "separation from the British Empire " and " a white man's alliance," and is simply " annexation propaganda." This is the Klan's goal according to Mr. Higgett :- " Our idea is a sort of confederacy at present. That does not
necessarily mean your separation from the British Empire, but a more definite alliance between the two great English-speaking countries on this continent. We have a definite programme in view that will be of the greatest benefit to all. Confederacy would prohibit the dumping of European emigrants on this continent, would absolutely forbid a further influx of Orientals, and would establish a mandate over Mexico."
