Peoples Forum
AFFIRMS HIS POSITION.

Editor Tribune:
My answer to your editorial AS
sailing the Associated Press in to-
days issue will not please you bet
ter than my letter of a few days
ago. | say this: For more than
twenty years, according to the Judg
ment of great journalists, the As
sociated Press has been, and is now,
in very many ways the tool of capi-
talistic money powers, or. to state
it more precisely, Of that Jewish
high finance which has put away
with the Jewish religion and is III
the highest degree hostile to Chris
tianity.
1t is very seldom that it brings
news about Catholic events, etc,
with out showing it's spirit of mar
row mindedness and strict ignor-
adcc Of Catholic principles. The
great statements of the Holy See
during the time Of the war and af-
forwards which pointed out the REM
edics against the evils which are dc
stroying the present civilization, the
Associated Press ignored entirely or
had only some superficial remarks
about chem.
For the most important events. as
for example the Eucharistc Con
gress in Rome in May, 1922, it has
| hardly ever more space than Tor Il
baseball game in New York or Bos-
ton,
The Associated Press claims TO
bring the most important news of
the world, but il has by continuous
practice become an expert in keep
ing from its public news which are
most important to millions but
which do not please those who con
| troll the Associated Press. Instead
Of spreading the truth and of being
true servant of the truth, the AS
sociatcd Press has become entirely
commcrcializcd. The same is also
true of very large number of the
daily papers.
These are not my personal ideas
! they are facts which are we'll known
all over the world, and some Of the
| leading journalists publicly acknowi
edged them.
