Mueller in Look magazine. “Father Coughlin tacitly admits the partnership by including in his speeches sentences identical in tone and structure with those of Goebbels, Nazi minister of propaganda, “the writer asserts.

Fitch of 21 Sherman Avenue, New York City member of the Coughlinbacked Christian Front, told me he sold Social Justice at the Bund’s nearby Camp Nordland all last Summer.”
