Father Charles E. Coughlin on Dec. 5 published an article in his organ, Social Justice, under his name which was almost exactly the same as a speech delivered on Sept. 13, 1935, by Reich Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, the New York Post revealed today. Under sensational headlines the Post devoted nearly half its front page to publishing extracts from the Coughlin article and the Goebbels speech side by side. The extracts dealt with Jews and Communism and revolutions in Germany and Hungary.
