An article describing the growth of anti-Catholic propaganda as part of the anti-Semitic drive in the United States is featured in the November issue of The Voice, organ of the Committee of Catholics for Human Rights. The 16-page tabloid also contains articles entitled “Catholics Defend Bill of Rights” and “Labor Fights Anti-Semitism.”

The Christian Front was denounced for its “destructive influences” in spreading “racial and religious hatreds” in a statement issued yesterday by the Brooklyn Church and Mission Federation, representing most Protestant congregations in Brooklyn. The Greater New York Federation of Churches is understood to be considering taking a similar stand.
