CALLS INDIANA COLLEAGUE TO TASK FOR PROPOSING “MUZZLE" STATUTE
Smith Refutes Priest’s Charge
SAYS CLERIC IS UNDER SPECIAL HURDEN TO AVOID “BASELESS SLANDER” NEW YORK, Nov. 29.—Alfred E. Smith, replying to assertions of Father Charles E. Coughlin in a speech on the monetary question, said in a statement last night that he had 1 never talked with J- P- Morgan on any subject except allocation of state funds for unemployment relief. “1 have never talked with Mr. Morgan on any subject except during our joint service and appointment by the mayor on a committee to allocate state funds for unemployment relief," said Smith’s statement. • “When a man presumes ^o address so great a number of listeners as Father Coughlin reaches, particularly if he be a high priest, he assumes the responsibility of not misleading them by false statements, or poisoning their judgment with baseless
slander.
“From boyhood I was taught that a Catholic prV t was under a direct injunction to ‘teach all nations’ the word of Gcal. That includes the di-
vine commandment 'Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neigh- ] Coughlin Rebuked by Monsignor bor’.” i NEW YORK, Nov. 28. (UP)-As Father Coughlin in an interview ) Alfred E. Smith struck back at l>cPore a mass meeting last night ■ Father Charles K. Coughlin, the De- • s ®id: | trnit priest, who last night criticized “Two Catholic bishops visited | Smith’s monetary views, Monsignor Smith at his office building. One of Th< mas Carroll, chancellor of the them is dead now. You will hear from Roman Catholic archidoceie of New
comment on the remark of Pathei Coughlin with respect to me,” said Smith’s statement. “I find no fault with Father Coughlin when he disagrees with my views on sound money. That is his right. 1 insist cm the right of free speech for myself, and I would be the last one in the world to attempt to deny it to anyone else. The country’s monetary policy is • subject on which there may be honest differences of opinion, as may he seen from the statement of economists and prominent citizens on both sides of the question, hut I do very deeply resent any statement about me made by Father Coughlin which is not true, and the charge that my position on the monetary question was in any way affected by any loans by J. P. Morgan was absolutely
false.
"So, too, the suggestion that I borrowed any money from tne house of J. P. Morgan, or anyone connected with it, to progress the construction of the Empire State building or for any corporation with which I am con-
nected is absolutely false.
“When Father Coughlin insinuates to his vast radio audience that I even spoke to Mr. Morgan nr anyone connected with him about this or any other financial transaction, he is stating what i- absolutely false."
the other one. Smith was busy. He asked them to come along with him. They went in an automobile to the corner of Wall and Broad streets. Smith went inside to the office of
York, declared Father Coughlin's attack against the former governor absolutely unwarranted.” Monsigi or Carroll said that “Father Coughlin ought to remember
Morgan. He came out in about 15 j that as a clergyman he has a rather minutes, his face wreathed in smiles, privilege! forum, which is accorded
and gave the bishops to understand that he had received a large loan for his office building from Morgan." "I have lieen asked by the press to

his only woman colleague from that , j r ' of n^iaj^.o is, Mrstate. P; IU | Hester and family.
Representative Jenckes, Democrat, Indiana, wrote Schulte that although she would oppose any movement which tended to retard the plans of President Roosevelt, and his administration, she would oppose also any action looking toward a censored
press.
She described the American newspapers as having “never failed America in a crisis and they ‘are * * * standing loyally behind the president * * * in his fearless leadership.”
