Inside the Christian Front
By Theodore Irwin, The Forum
March 1949

Often a meeting ends with a
pledge of allegiance to the American flag —
and the Nazi salute.

If you had made a tour of Christian Front
assemblages in New York in recent months,
you would have been subjected to exhortations
such as these:

I am not content to walk in the footsteps of
Christ. I want to walk ahead of him with a club.
If this country gets into this war, we'll start a
revolution and put machine guns on every corner in
the city.

Get rid of your timidity. If we can find no other
way, we may have to do it as Father Coughlin
suggested, under a Franco.

You must learn to hate war mongers like Roose-
velt . . . I propose to buy a lot of telephone poles
and hang the war makers to them.

We must hate! We must get the youth aroused!
