Rev. Coughlin, in introductory remarks which he made yesterday in his sermon over the radio said that his “National Union for Social Justice is not worthy of existence unless it embraces, on equal footing both Catholic and Protestant, both Jew and Gentile, both black and white.
The statement by Father Coughlin was made a few hours after Rabbi Stephen S. Wise had declared in a nationally broadcast radio address that his attack upon Jewish bankers was similar to that which started anti – Semitism in Germany.
“Because I attack a Catholic should I be called anti-Catholic? If I attack one Jew, should I be called anti-Jewish?” Rev. Coughlin asked.
