...devastating the consequences of War II may be for the Nordic States no man can foresee. But with their democratic friends embattled far down the North Sea, and their totalitarian neighbors creeping across and along the Baltic, tears and tennis, trees and testimonials may well be not enough to save them.

By summertime, Coughlinites in the East were organized and articulate enough to plan a parade into the "Jewish-Communist" enemy's territory, Manhattan's Union Square. Father Coughlin called them off. There were indications that he knew he had a bull by the tail. The word "Jew" appeared less often in his broadcasts, although it continued to sprinkle the pages...
