FIERY PRIEST
BANK METHODS DENOUNCED WASTE OF PEOPLE'S MONEY VANCOUVER, Aus. 53 Curiously enough two Canadianborn citizens of the United States have been " star " performers at the grand jury's investigation into Detroit banking. Yesterday it was Senator Cauzens; to-day it was Rev. Charles Coughlan, the Catholic priest who last year drew the Cardinal's attention to himself by radical radio addresses. It was wholesale dissipation of the people's money that occurred there,, declared Father Coughlan in a fiery, denunciation of ex-President Hoover. His testimony ranged from specific charges against certain bankers to an impassioned harangno against the traducers of President Itoosevelt, who, he declared, "has far moro courage than 90 per cent of priests in this country." "Hoover tried to cure this damnable depression by pouring in gold at the top while pebple starved at the bottom," cried Father Coughlan, pounding the-table with his fists.
