Rothschild Beat Hitler Is Story Of Father Coughlin

Detroit, May 29-(UP)-The Rev. Father Charles E. Coughlin said in his Sunday sermon that a secret war in Europe between the House of Rothschild and the House of Hit Ter" had come to an end two weeks ago with a '.scorching victory" for the former.
 The priest declared that the House of Rothschild, international financiers. had forced Great Brit ain and France to demand the re- lease of Baron Louis Rotschild, president of the former Creditan- stalt bank who was held prisoner in a Vienna hotel when the Nazi army took complete control of Aus tria. The baron was released two weeks ago.
 Not disclosing the source of his information, Father Coughlin said that England's Prime Minister Me- vile Chamberlain was forced into bargaining with Hitler for the ba- ron's release after a $250,000 offer from the French branch of the great banking house was rejected.
 "The Fhiehrer demanded that the Austrian people be reimbursed for every cent stolen from them in the Creditanstalt robbery" he said. "rhe bank had crashed In io3i, swindling Austrian investors out of $lie. 900 900 and opening the way for the world banking panic of lo32."

dropped efforts toward peaceful settlement with Hitler and simply ordered the British government to effect Baron Louis release at once.
 Prime Minister Chamberlain, at the instigation of Sir Philip SaS- soon, one of Britain's most powerful international financiers, spoke sharply to Hitler about Baron Louis and succeeded in reducing the Fuehrer's terms. Hitler agreed to give up his prisoner in return for the Rotschild-owned Wittoowitz steel works in Northern 'Czechoslo- vakia, and Chamberlain immediate ly accepted because the works were in that part of the country to be given to Germany"
 When the German chancellor took all of Czechoslovakia into the third Reich, however, he ordered confiscation of the valuable mills, Coughlin said, and Great Britain retaliated with a warning that such a move would lead to the seizure of ali German government funds in Britain and France. 'Hitler had to back down and when more pressure was applied he was forced to give the order for Baron Louis release" 1" the priest asserted.
 Although thc ordinary refugee rarely takes more than one-tenth of his possessions out of Germany. Father Coughlin said, the baron was given obo.o00, 900. threesfourths of his entire fortune, and when he arrived in Paris recently he an- nouneed he would sue the German government for the remainder.
