Irom his school days he had veen impressed by the words ot Pope Leo X11, who had laid great stress on the squalor of the working classes and had pronounced it the auty ot the Church to save the world as well as the individ- ual. And Iratner Coughlin, wno agreed with Leo, decided in 1929 Lo preach economics as well as Christianity on the radio. A year later he made a contract with the Columbia Broadcasting System for a het work of 16 stations. He made vitriolic attacks on un- employment, muss 'production, investment bankers, and the un- even distribution ot wealth, His hold, on his audience was proved when, 1n 1931, the Columbia Broadcasting Company, embarrassed by 'ls unbriuled attacks on Wall Street and the Hoover admini- stration, suggested that they censor .an-address he was preparing. in reply, he stepped to the microphone the next afternoon and in 1mpassioned tones upheld-the ireedom of speech, ending up with an appeal to his listeners to decide the question: censored, or should he speak right out?

But the President knows Coughlin personally and is said to like him. . The radio priest's opponents ridicule his logic.

His critics claim further that he is not al- ways scrupulous in his methods of personal attack, and call him a demagogue who: has made baseless charges and glaring mis: statements and has later refused to retract them. Demgogue or prophet, however, his passion for social justice cannot be questioned.
