Catholic Fighters

In his broadcast two Sundays ago, Rev. Charles Edward ("Socko Charlie") Coughlin protested, for the nth time, that he is not antiSemitic. Nevertheless, the Coughlin penny dreadful, Social Justice, baits Jews blatantly and increasingly; so do the ragtag & bobtail who make up a large part of the Coughlin following. This week, without naming Coughlinism, but obviously perturbed by its spread, a group of Catholic liberals, led by Editor Philip Burnham of the Commonweal, Editors Dorothy Day and William M. Callahan of the Catholic Worker, launched a Committee of Catholics to Fight Anti-Semitism. Among the 65 committee members: Publisher Martin Quigley of Motion Picture Herald, Catholic Artists Jean Chariot and Adelaide de Bethune, C. I. O. Director John Brophy, Novelist Margaret Culkin Banning, Secretary Reginald Kennedy of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, Baroness Catherine de Hueck, the editors of six Catholic papers, St. Louis' Jesuit Daniel Aloysius Lord, Columbia University's Father George Ford, numerous other priests.
