Father Coughlin, well-versed in economic and financial affairs, was surely acquainte<l with the records, records wliich conclusively explode the legend o.f the pre-eminence of Jewish batiking ho.u.ses in intcfiiationali loans and banUhig. 1
The annual conifiilation, "Anicrican Underwriting Hottses and Their Issueii,",reveals that the projiOrtion of Jewish houses .(any corporation over fifty per cent of whose directors vvcrc Jews w.as counted as.Jewish) to all of those engaged in public financing during the years 1930-1933 w^s never inore than eight per cent.

It is because of these facts and figures, which even the average man senses, if he docs not know them, that Father Cbughlin's. attack pn, the international bankers aroused surprise and. ihdignatioti. A clergy- iiian is exjpected to be more accurate and cautious m his; claims than a 'politician Engaged in a political, controversy. Senator .Huey Long's tirade against Bertiard Baruch as the "master-niind and invisible presi- derit" was not takeii seriously because of the '*Kingfish's" predilection for sensational verbiage. Father Coughliii did not nierely content him¬ self with . repeating; Long's charges against Baruch bnf consistently pointed to the Jewish financial houses; as the leaders of unsound and unpatriotic international financial conspiring.
These facts and figures ido* not require any comment, They speak m no uncertain terms. They challenge Father Coughlin's statements and implications.;; They demand a cleair and unec[uivocal answer,
HFather Coughlih wants us to take his protestations in favor of the Jews seriously, if he wants »s to believe that his campaign for social justice is entirely free of racial prejiidice, if he vyants us to :judge him on the intrinsic iiieirits of the program of the Social Justice, Union, he will have to *admit publicly that he has erred and that his charges against Jewish jnternatioiial bankers are grossly exaggerated and entirely out of proportion with the true state of affairs.

As Chronicle "readers, well Icnow, thia questiOii bai).been confronting, the Jews of Anierica as well :as those of foreigii countries for a number of years.   Iri this Country Kabbi, Stephen S. Wise,- spiritual leader of the Frtic Synagogue and presi-' dent of the Jewish Institute of Religion, has  been cbampioning  the   cause  of   a World Jewish. Congress in every section, of the country^    He has spoken on its behalf iii Los Angeles as well as in.Bos-, ton, in New Orleans as. well as in ^hi- cagnr>sHe believes  firmly and conscien-   , tioiisly that a Congress representing eveiTr Jewry in the world will do more to pro-; tcct  and  defend the Jew and maintain, bis .status  as  a citizen than any other, nidyeriient  that  has yet been   launched. Coinciding with this view, Louis Lipsky, Rabbi'  Louis   I.
