| Description: | Shaky light in contrast and imagery The famous 'radio priest' states that active government control of the national currency is vital to continued recover and the elimination of financial ills. Father Coughlin Speech; "During this past week the men of Washington - The National Monetary Conference representing 75 million persons of this nation. At this conference there was a unanimity of opinion and demand on the part of the laborer, the farmer, the veterans organization, the national union for social justice and other organizations. Demanding that congress restore and recapture for itself, the privilege and sovereign right to coin and regulate the value of our money. For at the bottom of this depression it's a money quest, at the bottom of poverty of unemployment of confiscation, it's a money quest. And until this money question will have been settled. You and I the American People will continue wondering where the next phase of prosperity will come from. We will continue wondering, how these insurmountable debts will be paid? I thank you ladies and gentlemen." | |
