With no apologia, alibi or alias, I hereby and now register vehement protest against the harsh treatment and slurring references which you made against the fair suburb of Cicero in the Nov. 20 issue of TIME (p. 16). I do this on behalf of 70,000 residents of the town, 70,000 of the finest people in the United States of America...
...mere reading list could provoke the vehement comments which "Social Justice" has printed, then this latest action of the Civilization Plan is likely to provoke criticism of the most violent nature. Out of a list of 275 books recommended by the Committee for the Study of American Civilization, four are objectionable to Father Coughlin's publication.

In his latest book, "This Peace," he propounds the theory that "in the guise of hypocrisy and demoralized pacifism" Czechoslovakia was betrayed by European democracies so that Fascism would be strengthened for its role as hired gunman against Russia--a role which Hitler promises to play in "Mein Kampf." This brief essay condemns, in language at once controlled and vitriolic, the "pro-fascist" English statesmen for their leading role in this "foulest page of modern history...
