STATEMENT N.1, Edward BUTTS

Away back on the horizon of our records, seemingly a little beyond their limit,an emblem we recognize as the swastika came into existence.

Of the past history related to this little emblem we desire to know more; not because it is particularly attractive, or its construction,as we see it,complicated,but because it is know to have been in use in Europe,Africa,Asia, and America when we supposed there was no communication at least between the “old and new World”.

To our minds it appears much like a beautiful cloud that once floated above a setting sun,tinted with brilliant colors-noe scattered by the “four cardinal giants” here and there over the earth.
