FATHER COUGHLIN, MAN OF ACTION

Priest First ‘Made’ Front Page by Beating Up Auto Trunk Thief

BY DREW PEARSON AND ROBERT S. ALLEN ! ASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—The first time the Rev.

Charles E. Coughlin hit the front pages was 11 years ago—and it is interesting to note that then, as now, the priest made news as a man of action. v Father Coughlin had parked his car outside the county building in Detroit, and as he came out he saw a man unstrap a small trunk on the rear of it and start off. “Where are you going with that trunk?” demanded

Father Coughlin.

“What's it to. you?” snarled the thief, and with that he dropped the trunk and threw a right to the priest's

chin. ”

Father Coughlin ducked and struck back. A crowd gathered as the two men fought it out. The priest finally found an opening and landed a smashing right to his op-

ponent’s jaw, a policeman appeared on the scene and carted the thief off to jail.

The headline over the story in an afternoon paper read: “Priast Fights for Right With a Mighty Right.” Father Coughlin has put on considerable weight since this incident and he no longer uses his fists! But he is. still fighting, and still hitting the front pages. Contrary to general belief the radio priest is not a‘ Canadian. He was born in Canada, it is true—in Hamilton, Ont, in 1891, the same year that Pope Leo XIII issued his famous encyclical “Rerum Novarum,” which Father Coughlin considers the magna charta of labor and which he uses as the spearhead of his ‘social justice” erusade. But FPather Coughlin’'s father, Thomas, was an American, the son of an Irish immigrant who wielded a pick and shovel during the construction of the Erie Canal in New York state and later settled on .a farm near Lagro, Ind. » OM COUGHLIN was born on this farm.

in Hamilton where he was, in turn, a church sexton and the manager of a baking company. In Hamilton he met and married Amelia Mahoney. Their first son was Charles. Tom® Coughlin never relinquished his American citizenship and his son, although born in Canada, is also a citizen. Tom and Amelia Coughlin are still alive and live in Detroit. Both always address their famous son as “Father.” Mrs. Coughlin is an attractive, gray-haireq woman who adores her son and constantly is asserting a motherly prerogative over his food and working habits. She is his official hostess: and loves to give “treats” at her home for the Father and his close friends. A favorite “treat” is a picnic lunch consisting of hot dogs, cooked over an open charcoal fire in her backyard, with potato salad, cheese, crackers and lemonade. At Toronto University Father Coughlin was a star half back and once played an entire game with a At one time he was also handball champion of Canada.

Around the statue is the collar once worn by the dog. Pal was Father Coughlin’s constant companion for 10 years. He was a Great Dane weighing 168 pounds and guarded the priest with great devotion, permitting no one to approach he didn’t know. He even went to church, crouching in the sanctuary during mass. . i After Pal's death Father Coughlin refused hundreds of offers of

If that is right, what does it mean? Doesn't it mean that the medicine being cooked up for us in the Republican camp is a return to Hooverism pure and simple? If that was the remedy for us when we were at our worst, why isn’t it the remedy for us now?

EW YORK, Sept. 10.—If a European war breaks out over the conflicting sympathies for the contending parties in Spain it will not be the first time that the internal affairs of Spain have been the foundation of a major European war. At least three of the bloodiest of European conflicts have had their origins in Spanish dissension and in struggles for the gove ernment of Spain. The first of these was the long and costly war of the Spanish stccession, It arose out of a scramble for the inheritance of the Spanish domains. Spain had been ruled since 1665 by the wretchedly incompetent Charles. II. His approaching death brought forth international compli- 3 cations of the first order. Both the Holy Roman Emperor and Louis XIV of France desired to get control of the Spanish realms at Charles’ death. England and Holland opposed this. for they desired to preserve the balance of power in Europe. To allow either the Empire or France to secure control over ‘ Spain and the Spanish possessions Dr. Barnes : would give the fortunate power an overwhelming preponderance in European affairs. After some complicated bickering, in which Loli XIV took the lead in double-crossing the other monarchs, Charles was finally induced to make a will

» United Against France

ora, Holland and Austria united against France in September, 1701, and a decade of care nage ensued. The Allies were victorious, in large part, as a result of the brilliant generalship of the.DuKke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene of Savoy. The war ended with the Treaty of Utrecht in 133. i

The second great European war which grew out of - internal politics in Spain was the Peninsular War between France and England from 1808 to 1814, in which the Duke of Wellington (Sir Arthur Wellesley, at the beginning) buift up his military reputation. In May, 1808, Napoleon put his brother, Joseph Bonaparte, on the = Spanish throne, The Spanish patriots arose in revolt as a protest. In August, 1808, Wellesley landed with his first British forces, and by 1814 the French had been driven north of the Pyrenees. It was a terrific struggle over six years, and the British victory was due in part to:the dogged determination of Wellesley and in part to the weakening of Napoleon's power as a result of the disastrous invae sion of Russia.

A Third Major War

I 1870 there came the third major war, in which Spanish affairs furnished the pretext for hostilities.- In 1869 the Spanish liberals had offered the Spanish throne to Leopold of Hohenzollern-Sigmarin-8€n, cousin of King William of Prussia, * The setting was ripe for war. Bismarck wished to complete the unification of Germany. He Had defeated Austria in 1866 and had created the North German Federation. A glorious foreign war might turn the trick of realizing the long-deferred unification of the German realms.

The French expected an easy victory, but they were quickly and ignominiously crushed. ® .
