E Of y " and other great
patriotic societiv with a combined
membership numbering millions Of
American citizens have charged
that political Rome was war

OF our land and the most vital safe
guards Of free institutions.
The upholders of the papal sys-
TEN have positively and indignant
ly denied these charges and vocifer-
ously denounced those who made
them. So insistent and sweeping
has been this denunciation and so
complete has been the censorship Of
the secular press in the interests Of
Rome that many otherwise intelli-
gent citizens have believed that the
Knights Of Columbus and other rep
resentatiyes Of the Roman hierarchy
have been sincere in their passion
ate denials Of the circumstantial
charges Of the patriots. Now,
thanks TO the Free Press Defense
League and Congressman Lind
bergh, the Roman hierarchy has
been given a splendid opportunity
to refute these charges and to vim
dicate hertelf providing-dlpdys
proUiding, sh' is sincere and, that
the claims of he millions Of pa
triotic voters are false and hbellous
as she claims.
The position taken by Mr.. Lind
bergh is impregnsble. His conten-
tion will appeal TO every thinking
and broad minded patriot, as sound
in every particular. He does not
take the stand Of a partisan, but
rather that # statesman who
would have congress recognize a
mighty issue that is month by

formidable.

columns last week.
Heresay Testimony
Miss Haley explained before the
council committee that she was
authorized to make a portion of
these disclosures, by Mrs. Ella
FIagg Young. a PSuedO- Presbyteri-
an absent from Tie city of Chicago
on July 14, Whioh she says Mrs.
Young had told her might be Of
assistance 10 the Federation at some
future time. A portion Of her testi-
mony follows:
She centered her attack on William
Rothmann, former trustee. She saId the
chief cause Of the present conflict is that,
three years ago, the Federation leaders
refused TO "sell" the teachers. She
asserted William Rothmann offered the
teachers, through Mrs. Ella FlAgg
Young, then superintendent of schools,
an increase of salary il be might have
control OF the pension fund.
Miss Haley talked for over two hours,
revealing many facts released bg Mrs,
YoaAg for the purpose Of defending tho

remarks were interrupted BY applause
