An American anti-Semite took a hand today in helping stir anti-Jewish propaganda in Argentina, by sending threatening letters against Jews to Argentine newspapers. The letters are signed: Ku-Klux-Klan Dragon Horace Sherman Miller, and the address given is Post Office Box 5062, Waco, Texas.
Correo de la Tarde, an important afternoon paper here today published a photostat of the letter which reads: “Very soon, the Argentine Jews will have to declare a strike for 1,000 hours, when we shall start working.” The letter was obviously referring to the fact that, last month Jewish businessmen here, joined by many non-Jews, conducted a half-day business stoppage in protest against renewed, intensified anti-Semitism in Argentina.
(According to the national offices of the B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation League, in New York, a man named Horace Sherman Miller, at the given address in Waco, Texas, has been operating a hate mongering apparatus, almost entirely personal, with no significant following, for many years. His literature, sent often to Latin American countries, is anti-Jewish and anti-Catholic. Miller usually calls himself the Grand Dragon of the Aryan Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, but has no affiliation with the KKK organizations operating in the South, the ADL records show.)
