The Watsonian, Vol 2 March, 1928 Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Watsonian, Vol. 2: March, 1928

To ask the last question now is to answer it. Look about you and see in what a pitiful condition this country is. By the help of this subsidized press the New York ring is trying to force down the throats of Protestant Americans, a Catholic of the worst breed, Mr. Alfred Emanuel Smith. The wrongs of Rome can not come into the American homes because the press is so completely subsidized.

As every one knows President Calles of Mexico undertook to govern that nation as their Constitution so directed. This policy of course was a heavy blow to the catholic, organizations in Mexico and they determined to overthrow the Calles regime. The Priests without regard for law and order defied the government and much blood has been shed in that country, simply because the Catholic Church openly violated the Constitution, and after being warned, con tinned their violation. The battle became so bitter that the Ameri can Catholic Societies were appealed to for help. The Knights of Columbus raised a large sum of money for propaganda which would force the United States to war with Mexico. This action was dis cussed on the floor of the Senate and with hard work on the part of several Senators a war was prevented.

The Hearst papers obtained a mass of forged documents from Mexican Catholics. These papers endeavored to prove that certain U. S. Senators accepted large sums of money from the 'calles regime as payment for their efforts in preventing our Government from sending troops to war with Mexico. This was fine reading matter for the American Catholics and no doubt the Hearst papers received a great boost in circulation. When this concoction was boiled down it was proven positively false and the men in question were vindicated.
Will American Protestants resent this attack on Protestant Sena tors?
