Father Coughlin said. '.It Is democracy in reverse. It Is lin-Americanism in the saddle. 1t is dictatorship in the bud. and it Is Q definite departure from rule by law" Father ooughlin urged his listeners to write their senators "pe- titioning them to support only that kind og neutrality which supports no foreign entanglements and which does not propose Co make any one man the losd of the world"
 The priest asserted that President Roosevelt "praetieally said" that congress must remain in session isn- til neutrality legislation is either passed or rejected. "po sou remeFl- Der how, some yeeS1 aGo. the hollle

 Scotland Yard, R Q m a Catholic Authorities Join to Suppress Them IRISH REPUBLICAN
 ARMY GIVEN BLAME British Govt. Is Almost Convinced. Foreign Power Is Backing IRA

 London, June 26.-UP) Double guards stationed at all balloon barrage, anti-air- craft and other territorial army stations in the London area today in the belief that Irish Republican army" ter rorists intended to strike at key defense points.
 Magistrates issued 130 search warrants to Scotland Yard to aid them in raids during which 30 sus- poets were arrested as the result of a series of bombings in London during the week end. Twenty of the suspects were held.
 It was reported that 50 T. R. A" terrorists had been sent to principal British cities from Ireland, and were spending about $5,O0O . week on bombing activities.
 Scotland Yard and Roman Catho- lie authorities united in 8 campaign against the terrorists, the Irish goV~ ernment increased their watchful- ness after disorders in three Irish cities yesterday.
 From 30 to 40 persons were in- jured in the gay west end of London late Saturday night in seven T. R. A." bombings. One victim was . child. another q crippled newsboy.
 Foreign Power Suggested
 For the first time since the I. R. "A. bombings, the British press suggest ed that foreign powers are backing the I. R. A. In view of alleged Ger man activities in Ireland during the World War, the man in the street has long been speculating on the possibility that the I. R. A. was re ceiving money from abroad but the newspapers have not mentioned the popular suspicious.
 Today, however, the Yorkshire Post said editorially:
 "It would certainly be surprise to no one in this country if evil dence Is eventually forthcoming to associate German intrigue or at least German money with the I. R. A. outrages."
 "An eye should be kept on the possibility that the I. R. A. is merely tool in . bigger game" the liberal News Chronicle observed.
 Hunting For Members
 Operatives of the yard" were sent on a search throughout Lon don for members of the T. R. A Particularly in the north district of the city, in hope of finding the cerl- tral arsenal of the terrorists. Cardinal Hinsley, Catholic arcl1- bishop of Westminster, London, in . sermon at Holy Trinity church yes terday. threatened to accommodates terroriSts.
 In Ireland. the government Of Ramon Devalera, which had out- lawed the T. R. A." but had not proceeded actively against 1t, sent out troops and armored GETS to aid police in suppreSsing disorders at Dublin, Fermoy and Yistowell. Bomb Other Places ] It was disclosed that in addition to bombing banks in the west end district Saturday night, T. R. A. terrorists had bombed the Chamber of Horrors and Little Red Riding Hood in the famous Mime. Tlssaudss wax works. In the Chamber Of Horrors the figures of famous Britt ish murderers were endangered but not harmed. Slight damage was done to the Little Red Riding Hood (Continued on Page 4)

heavily bombed new Japanese air. dromes and barracks, causing exteI- sive casualties, and that the Japa- nese were reinforcing their air force at many places in Manchukuo.
 It was added that there were fre- quent air alarms in Manchukuo.
 Japan had for days been alleging attacks by outer Mongolian-actu- ally Russian-airplanes, and Rus sia retorted yesterday with 6 de- tailed statement of alleged attacks by Japanese-Manchukuan airplanes and troops on outer Mongolian air and land forces.
 Outer Mongolia is an independent Soviet Republic under Russian pro- lection, and nominally at least, the air forces called Russian" were outer Mongolian ones.
 Japan Executed Them
 As the neutral dispatches arrived here, the Japanese government dis closed that for year Japanese Manchukuan authorities had been trying alleged Communists arrested in a big round up March IS, 1888, and that 10 had been executed, sev- en sentenced to life Imprisonment and 97 others given prison terms of from five to 20 years.
 It was believed also that 50 al- leged bandits. arrested with the Communists" had been executed.
 The Japanese army in Manchu- kuo, in an official statement, said that 1t had shot down l24 Soviet planes since May 20, and added that it was ready to repulse all inva- sions."
 The Japanese asserted that they had shot down a total of 15 Soviet

 Elect George s. Cook
Boston Crowded for Annual Session of Leaders of the Mother Churcf1-B0ard Announces New Officers

Boston, Mass, June 5-Thou- sands of Christian Scientists, meet ing in this city today, challenged 8 troubled world to change its per- spective from material to spir- itual basis in its search for release from pressing economic and politi- cal problems.
 The occasion for the great influx of the followers of Mary Baker Eddy was the annual meeting of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Bos- ton, Massachusetts,, which was filled at an early hour this after noon right up to the center balcony under the very dome of the great edifice. Through an entire after noon's round of addresses and re- ports from the field, the power of the Christ, Truth, to life individuals above the ills of human sense was acknowledged and this same spir- itual power was recommended for the healing of the nations and the establishment of a permanent world.
 Church Progress Reported
 Various reports heard during the afternoon cited specific instances of spiritual enlightenment actively at work among the nations today. One revealed that Europe, seething center of turbulent political up- heavals, is also fertile field for spiritual growth, indicated in the formation of 21 new branch church organizations abroad, 12 of them being in England.
 Similar progress was reported in North America where z5 new branch organizations were launch ed. Africa and Australia, it was stated, have formed one new organi- zation each, while 32 societies were found raising their status to that of churches during the last 12 months. In educational fields, nine new uni- versity organizations became recog- nized units of the Christian Science movement .

Summarizing these distinct evi- dences of a continued reaching out for Truth, the Directors stated: we are in position to know, and are glad to report, that at no time in the history of the Christian Science movement has the healing work been carried on with greater success or along broader lines than it is today"
 Benefit to World Sought
 Continuing, the Directors said: Surely in this period of unsettled world conditions our prayers are most essential, and each one of us should ask himself if he is doing all that he can to meet the aggressive suggestions of error, which would try constantly to intrude, and if he is working to help spiritualize thought, thereby correcting the gen. erally accepted material beliefs" Announcement of new officers constituted the main business of the meeting. George Shaw Cook, c. s. B., of Brookline, Mass, was named President for the ensuing year to succeed Ralph H. Knapp of Needham. Edward L. Ripley of Brookline and Ezra w. Palmer of Marshfield were reelected Treas urer and Clerk, respectively. The President is elected by The Chris tian Science Board of Directors for one-year term, his chief duty being to serve as presiding officer at the Annual Meeting.
