'Roosevelt Or Ruin' Says Father Coughlin
In a dramatic speech, the famous radio preacher, Father Coughlin gives his whole-hearted endorsement of the administration's monetary policies and urges the nation to support its chief executive in his attempt to 'drive the money changers from the temple. "Ladies and Gentlemen it is almost preposterous on my part to advocate your loyalty to Franklin D. Roosevelt. The events of the past three weeks are eloquent to themselves. Our laborers are being restored to rebuttal of operations. Our factories are opened. The prices of our commodities are being raised. Why may I ask? Simply because the money changers are being driven from the temple. Simply because of one old standard which tells you and myself in bondage for generations. As the battle raises into the mist of the past. The great advantage of the pain to the national recovery act are more or less insignificant compared to the greater advantages which the future holds for us once the fulfillment of Franklin D. Roosevelt monarchy quality will become history. Ladies and Gentlemen this is the day in spite all opposition to the contrary that you remain steadfast behind the one man who can save this civilization of ours. It is either Roosevelt or ruin. - I thank you."
