CoughIin Spokesman
Replies to Roosevelt

DETROIT. July II LP,.-A state
ment concerning references which
Elliott Roosevelt. son of the Presi-
dent, made about the Rev. Charles
E. Coughlin was read by a spokes-
man for the Royal Oak (Mich.)
priest on his weekly broadcast Sat-
urday.
Excerpts from the statement fol-
low:
He elliott RoosevelD said
according to reports, that radio cen
sorship might not be too high a
price to pay If it will help insulate
us against the Semitic oratory
Of the radio priest"
So free speech must be consigned
to the political waste paper basket
all America must suffer-in order
to muzzle Father Coughlin
1t Is an old story by this time.
AS America knows that radio priest
is definitely an Communist.
Communists briefly, are
either Jewish or gentiles, which is
the broadest classification We can
make. Consequently that radio
priest is opposed only to the activ-
tiles of those Jews and gentiles who
have adopted, aided, or abetted
Communism.
Father Coughlin is no more anti
gentle than he is anti-Semite.
Mr.. Roosevelt's grade school
logic runs like this: He who is
Communist is anti Semitic
Now, anti-Semitism is so immoral
that it should not be tolerated on
the airways. Consequently Father
Coughlin should be disbarred from
broadcasting.
He also said: Father Coughlin' s
fare for rabble rousing and his Sue
cess in attracting funds have built
shrine into million dollar big
business investment. What his ac-
tivities have been worth to himself
no one knows"
There is a nice insinuation for
you-an intimation that Father
Coughlin has personally profited as
pastor of the Shrine of the Little
Flower from the money which mil

Elliott Roosevelt
Rakes Cough|in
In Radio Talk
Priest Held Financially
Interested in His Silver
Money Theories
1y the Associated Press.

9S the ASSOCIATED PreSs.
NEW YORK, July l7.-Elliott
Roosevelt denounced the Rev.
Charles E. Coughlin in a national
radio talk over the Mutual Broad
casting System Saturday night as
anti-Semitic, "a compounder of
stories" and as being financially in
terested in his silver monetization
activities.
Il dislike censorship in any form,
but even censorship might not be
too high price to pay If it will
help insulate us against the anti
Semitic oratory Of the radio priest
out in Royal Oak. Mich" said the
Presidents son, head of the Texas
State radio network, in the 18th of
his tri-weekly sponsored talks.
Father Coughlin, he said, must
have followed with a great deal of
interest the recent action of the
silver inflationiSts in Congress
he Is an expert on silver Before
the Treasury Department released
those interesting figures concern
ing his monetary activities, he
bought up half million ounces of
silver.
Naturally, the public knew MOTH
Ing of this, or it might have paid
less attention to his cries that the
Government would have to reyalue
the dollar if it wanted to cling to
the ways of Christianity"
Mr.. Roosevelt broke off in his
prepared speech to interject:
If Coughlin doesn't like my re-
marks, I extend him an invita- ton
to appear on my program as any time
he desires to do So
For l3 years, this mans political
fidelity has been as unpredictable as
the wind - We shall no doubt hear
some more of Father Coughlins in
teresting discourses in the near fu-
ture, when the 1910 campaign gets
steamed up. - I hope for his sake
that the information he uses in his
future speeches will be more accu-
rate than has been the custom in the
past. - AS a compounder OF stories,
Father Coughlin has few equals.
Despite the fact that his own
churchmen as well as Jews have been
relentlessly prosecuted in Germany.
Coughlin's Shrine has become
clearing house for questionable prop
aganda which the Nazis make the
fullest use of. Most of Father
Coughlin's anti-Semitic views have
been taken up by the Nazis and
widely quoted in Germany. '''
Just what effect the recently
adopted code for broadcastehs will
have on Father Coughlin cannot be
foretold at this time. In any case, it
will be interesting to watch.

AS a violator of the Kellogg
Pact and the Nine Power Pact,
Japan, long ago, should have
been penalized with economic
sanctions. The state department
has stated the abrogation of the
1911 Trade Treaty, effective in
six months, clears the way for
the legality of embargoes against
the Japanese government. Such
action is not only decisive fac
tor in notifying the world that

carries with it some of the as
poets of real Christianity.
Let those who believe this to
be true, send their commenda-

complete embargo be imposed
against Japan, so long as her
armies remain on Chinese soil.
