100000 TELEGRAMS

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND kilograms
~ poured into Washington following one
Coughln pro-Patman speech. Now 100000
kilograms look like a lot In fact they look
for the moment like all the kilograms in the
world. They resemble what one ardent jour-
naIistic advocate of printing-press imitation
calls the overwhelming sentiment of the
American people"
It is only when we stop to think-if We do
stop and We do think-that 40 million votes
we're cast in the last presidential election, that
100000 shrinks to its proper proportion.
Organized minorities. just because they are
organized. always look bigger than they are.
WAYNE B. Wheeler knew that and applied it
more effectively than any one else in Amer
lean history. He and his able leutenants, the
Rev. Clarence True Wilson. the Rev. John
Roach Stratton. Bishop Cannon. and the rest,
made the politicians of this country believe
for over a decade that to oppose prohibition
was suicide.
It was only after an JnreSistible public
revuIsion suddenly swept up and ended the
noble experiment that it was discovered that
the supposedly terrifying power was nothing
but a minority after all.
incidentally, it may be only coincidental,
but it is interesting to note that leadership by
clergymen characterized the prohibition move
ment as it now characterizes the initiation
movement
Perhaps there is something about the min
istry that develops peculiar genius in making
ninorities look like majorities

After reading your editorials of
May 10 and 1.-THE Intolerant
Coughlin" and The Deadly Paral-

given the Scripps- Howard news
paper chain such a violent belly
ache. Your symptoms would in
dictate acute Wall Street willies.

But in the heat of the chase you
have overlooked other tracks more
sinister. They are the crimson
tracks of greed-made by the in
terest-hungry pack Of Wall Street
wolves who are literally prostitute

newspaper chain. I need not name
them. BY row your readers are
familiar with their false philoS-
ophy and brazen deception, and
even though your articles osten-
sibly originate elsewhere the scent
of the Wall Street skunk pervades
every line of these subtle half
truths.
Why use the bankrupt nations
Of Europe as yard-stick by which
to measure our financial capacity
to meet our debt to the soldiers
via the Patman bonus bill? Did
these countries have nine billion
dollars in gold and silver to secure
their paper money? You know
they did not! Why not tell the
whole truth? If our bankers can
lend up to 80 billion dollars with
only one billion currency to secure
it, why can't our government issue
a little over two billion (secured

TIMES SCORED FOR
COUGHLIN BONUS POLICY
By william Morris.

D1 hAhdh
Concerning the Patman bonus
bill, imitation and your past de-
nouncement of the veteran and
Father Coughlin: No one would
like to see a radical policy Of infla-
ton. I'm referring to Germany
now
The Patman bonus measure would
save the American people more than
billion in taxes needed to pay the
interest had the bonus been paid
by borrowing through the sale Of
bonds. You are against the Pat
man bill because your paper and
chain of papers are suffering from
fear psychology. You see a DOGGY
man in every bill which benefits
the veteran.
You claim to be patriotic. How
can you lay claim to any patriot
ism when you've denounced the
veteran every chance you get? WHAT
in the name of God has the veteran
done to The Times? Nothing. But
you haven't hesitated to slip in
suits at the veteran.

In your editorial Of May 10 headed
"Intolerant Coughlin" it appears TO
me that you are the one who has
taken the unfair advantage rathe-
than Father Coughlin. If you wish
the readers to draw an unbiased
conclusion why did you not publish
the entire speech that was made IN
Cleveland?

have been Of far more interest," TO
the majority OF your readers than
the vast amount Of propaganda that
stuffs the columns daily with no
other motive than to deceive the
American people. II you had read
