 Leader Scores Rabbi

ently battled for the just living annual wage-Have you, MT. Greenfield? Is that unpatriotic? Also restoration to Congress of its sole right to coin and regulate the value of money, also, maintain the cost of living on an even keel. Also labor's right to organize, also re- call non-productive bonds, also abolition of tax exempt bonds, also conscription of wealth as well as men ill the event of war. Also sanctity of human rights preferred to sanctity of property rights. I could name you many more but where were you MT. Greenfield while these reforms were being advocated nationally through the medium of press and radio? I don't ever recall any prominent Jewish gentlemen publicly denouncing Communism in fact you have been notorious for your silence.
 Father Coughlin has fought with all his vigor, and is still fighting against Communism, Atheism, Natzism and everything un-American. He fearlessly lash- ed out against the appointment of a Catholic-hater, Jew-hater, and negro-hater to the Supreme Court bench of the United States. don't recall your voice raised in protest.
 Catholics do not mind criticism from Jews because the Jews crucified the first priest two thousand years ago on cross of wood. Today they would cruelty another on a Gross of Gold"
 The Citizens Study Club de- mand an apology from Rabbi Will liam P. Greenfield for his un- patriotic and un-Christian utter ance, or 1t will be accepted as nothing less than Christian bait ing.
 The International Jew has challenged the Christian for his support; now we turn about and we ask the Jew for his support.

quets, concerts, visits to nearby Inca ruins and San Marcos Uni-, versity, oldest institution of higher learning in the New World, and special races at the new Hippo drome. Foreign colonies have ar- ranged special celebrations in honor of their respective delegations.
 This ancient "city of the Kings" has gone to great lengths to pre- pare for the conference and in re- cent weeks has rushed to comple- tion vast rebuilding program.
 Although the pattern traced by Francisco Pizarro when he founded Lima in 1855, still survives, litle else remains of the old city. The plaza de Armas, which was drawn by Pi- zarro as the center of the new Spanish settlement and which later became the execution ground, the bullring, the popular dance hall and the fashionable promenade, has been modernized Even PizarroS own residence has been razed to make room for an ultra modern government palace. Even the royal palm trees, many of whose trunks bore bullet scars received in attacks on the old building, have been chop ped down.
 Old Cathedral Unchanged
 Only the cathedral, where the bones of Pizarro are entombed, and a few narrow, downtown streets with their traditional names of Spanish and Peruvian heroes, re- main unchanged to bridge the four centuries between colonial Lima and the city of today.
 New buildings are going up everywhere and the stone fronts of old buildings are being scrubbed clean and re-painted. Streets have been re-paved and sidewalks re- paired. Hotels have been remodeled to provide room for delegates and their staffs. Room space is at a premium.
 The national legislative palace, in which the conference sessions will be held, is massive building, 25 years old and fronting on Boli- var Square, or Inquisition Square, as the site is still called by Lima residents. The change in name and the erection of a monument in honor of Simon Bolivar, the liber- ator, in the center of t he square has not been able to erase the stories handed down through gen. erations of the horrors of the Span ish Inquisition.

Another adm1rer Of the famous radio priest, Father Coughlin, has joined in the controversy precipi- tated here by statement from Rabbi William P. Greenfield, who scored the Detroit priest as an interruptions demagogue." The remark was contained in state ment released to the Democrat Tuesday evening and followed by a nationwide outburst of com- ments on Father Coughlin's at tack on Communism.
 The latest to answer Rabbi Greenfield and to issue challenge directly to him in the form of questions is George L. Ayotte, president of the Citizens Study Club, which is the successor to the former Social Justice unit here. MT. Ayotte has been an outstand- ing admirer of Father Coughlin and a leader here in the move ment supporting his views for sev- eral years. His letter reads as fol- lows:
 On the front page of the Wa terbury Democrat under date of December 6, 1888 appeared a state ment by Rabbi Greenfield of Wa terbury, Conn, attacking Rev. Charles E. Coughlin L. L. D. as an interruptions demagogue and I prefer to use the word pre- varicator in place of the word Rabbi Greenfield used.
 First of all Father Coughlin has a signed statement from the Ford Company to verify the truth of his assertion. Have you MT. Greenfield?
 Rabbi Greenfield by his remarks showed himself to be "stupidly ignorant" in criticizing the out standing patriot in America. That sort of statement such as was is- sueI by MT. Greenfield would be re- ceived with acclaim in the led Square of Moscow where recently two million Communists pledged their allegiance at the Tomb of Lenin to battle against Chris tianity and Democracy.
 The picture of Mexico and Spain is known to all Christians. also the apathy of certain Jewish gentlemen who. have set them selves up as spokesmen for Jewry all over the world also the apathy of certain Jews who thought 1t more expedient in some cases to bore from within the ranks of the radicals. The results obtained speak for themselves: first-chaos then Communism. What price Christianity?
 I wonder if Rabbi Greenfield in his statement to the press knows that Father Coughlin has consistently preached the F. cyclicals of the Popes, and these same Encyclicals were issued to Christian clergymen of all Faiths. Patriarchs, PrimateS, Rabbis and others in the sole interest of Christianity, D emocracy and Social Justice. Is that un-pa- patriotic?
 Father Coughlin mas preached constantly against usury, the con- centration of wealth and the con- trol and issuance of money by private corporations. He has bat tied untiringly to drive the money-changers from the Temple of our government have you, MT. q Greenfield? Is that un-pairioticf
 Father Coughlin has consist.

in Lima by royal warrant in 1869. It was first located in a building facing La Merced Church, which stands on the site of the small chapel in which the first mass was celebrated in Lima. Three years later the inquisition was moved to another building on Inquisition square. In 1920 when the inquisi- ton was abolished in this city, the frepzied populace raided the build ing, destroying all the papers and documents they could find and threw the instruments of torture into the street.
 Among the objects which the in uuisitors used to force confessions from their victims was an image of Christ, suspended over the tri- bunal and facing those on trial, According to history, the image shook its head when the witness was not speaking the truth and raised its arms in horror and dis belief at some confessions. When the mob that raided the building 1OuIlQ sLIldt tllc 41ldSC D oA HID oAA head were manipulated by strings concealed behind the wall, their rage knew no bounds and the image was torn from the wall.
 The building, which was vacant for years but later was restored and used as senate chamber, has now been opened as a museum where conference delegates and visitors will be able to view some of the torture instruments, includ- ing the racks, and inspect many of the old cells and secret passage ways.
 Senate Chamber Added

This is the first Pan American Iconference since 1883, although the New World countries met at Buenos Aires two years ago at the Inter- American peace conference sponsored by MT. Roosevelt. Nearly 120 delegates from the 21 republics of the Americas were present for the inaugural session, fixed for 6 PM, in the chamber of deputies at the legislative pal- ace. Eleven of the delegaSion heads are foreign ministers of their re- spective countries, including Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull of the United States.
 President Oscar R. Benavides of Peru, will preside at the opening session and probably will address the final plenary session on Dec. l30.
 Program in ! Sections The conference program com prises the following seven sections, or committees:
 1. Organization of peace. 2. International law.
 3. Economic problems.
 4. Political and civil rights of women.
 5. Intellectual cooperation and moral disarmament.
 6. The Pan American Union and the international conference of the American states. PaDortS
 Among the delegates, the frs three sections are considered the most important.
 The agenda provides for consider ation by the first committee, oi which Alfred M. Landon, former governor of Kansas and 1886 Re- publican Presidential candidate, i Ia member, of four vital points They are: CD Perfecting and CO., Iordination of inter American in- struments of peace; @ Creation of an inter American court of in- lternational justice; (3. Creation of league, or association, of American nations; and (4D Decla- ration of the American doctrine of non-recognition of territories con- quered by force.
 League Question Arises
 Of these items, those which promise to be most keenly debated concern the international court and the League of Nations. The latter has been sponsored by the Dominion Republic and Columbia, but it has been coolly received in some countries, particularly Ar lgentina.
 President Roosevelt's proposal for common defense by Canada, the United States and Latin Amer ica of the Western Hemisphere although not officially on the agenda, may be brought before the delegates in the form of a resolu- tion embodying the principles ot the plan, but no concrete defense proposals are expected.
 The matter of belligerent rights will be discussed under the section on international law. The problem of refugees, particularly German Jews, is expected So be injected into the discussions of the com- mittee on economic problems While not on the agenda, the re- lfugee question also may take up Considerable of the delegates time because of suggestions to settle the Jews in Latin America.
 Items 4 to 2, inclusive, of the official agenda are chiefly con- cerned with intellectual. cultural land idealistic relations among the American nations.
 Reception Precedes Session
 Although the conference starts Officially this afternoon, a recep- tion for the delegates was held in the city hall last night, followed by their presentation to President Benavides.

Editor, Tall Tower Topics. .. am young woman 25 years of age married and the mother of two children I enjoyed roller skating at Lake Copounce all summer and decided to take up the sport during the winter months but changed my mind when entered the rink at Hamilton Park. Why can't the management get to take of the rink and stop of those socalled fast skaters and give some of us chance to enjoy ourselves without being knocked over? It seems mistake when he put the rink under the management of fellow whom do not know personally ana nave no feelings towards him. His name is Rudy, which is engraved on his uniform He certainly runs the rink very orderly and gives the chance to skate and know no harm will come to Tell me, are there no floor
