A plea for the protection of religious freedom in the United States was issued yesterday by fifty leading laymen of the Jewish, Catholic and Protestant faiths.
“Taking cognizance of attacks in various nations upon freedom of conscience, the undersigned Protestant, Catholic and Jewish laymen unite in public emphasis upon the fundamental truth, deducible from human experience, that the destruction of religious liberty is followed by the destruction of social, economic and political liberty,” the ### says.
