adaun thing to back it up but a debt of three hundred and fifty
billion dollars. I believe that any man who should give a check
without having a bank-account would be no more guilly than the
Federal Government dishing out a lot of paper that is not backed up
by anything but the gold that is in other countries. This country has
been shipping all of the paper over to these other countries, and
these other countries have been taking all of our gold. I doubt very
seriously whether there is any gold left in this country; there is
supposed to be billions but I would have to see it to believe it.
BY MR. ROGERS:
Q—Mr. Cobb, there are one or two other things I want to ask
you before we close, What is your title in the Robert E. Lee Patriots?
A~—-I am the head of the Robert E. Lee Patriots.

Q—How is your board of officers that decide your policy
chosen? Are they elected from the membership, or how are they
picked?

them they get up and say it. We have little elections, but we don’t
have any trouble. We are looking for leadership to lead us out of the
valley of death which is the valley of Communism that we are in.
Q—aAre they appointed by the leaders of the chapters?
A—No, sir, they are accepted by the group, and if anybody
wants to oppose them, they do, but they are all good conscientious
men who submit to leadership when in certain cases some people
don't have the qualifications of bringing things about. One of our
motives is to instruct the people of this city, this state, and country,

going to be destroyed, persecuted, and everything else, Well,
ally, they can do what the “hell they want with me, and the
