Charles E. Coughlin, declared yester-

the United States Chamber of Com
merce, which he said is the 'SpokeS-
man for the industrialists and finan
ciers" will alter the entire philosophy
which characterized their activities in
the past"
Just last week. he said. 1T was
decided by the United States Chamber
of Commerce to cooperate in a more
noble manner with theactivities OF our
administration. This is a pleasant
and wholesome change which is
worthy of recording.
1T is not fair to interpret this
gesture as one that is linked to SUBJ
terfuge and hypocrisy"
Father Coughlin then added that it
was mot fair to suspect even momen-
tarily the motives of our President"
He is endeavoring to bring about a
union of forces, union OF efforts. He
is not passing into the hands of the
old dealers the outcome of the New
Deal. He is not surrendering our des-
TIMES to those who believe in the
sacred right of privately manufactured
money, of expanding credit and con-
tracing currency at their will Above
all. it would only be vile misrepre-
sentation to charge him with betrayal
of the interests of the American people
