Publication end
In 1942, the magazine was ended when the U.S. Postal Service banned it from using its system. The reason was that in its March 16, 1942 edition, it printed the text of a speech by Samuel Untermeyer, executive of the World Jewish Economic Federation demanded a declaration of war against Germany and an economic boycott.[1] Another reason given is that in 1940, the FBI invaded a Christian Front branch in New York, and found a cache of weapons that were believed to be intended for use against Jews, communists, and congressmen. Though Coughlin was not directly tied to this plot, his affiliation with the Christian Front damaged his reputation. The U.S. Post Office, upon further investigation under the Espionage Act, revoked Coughlin’s privilege to use the mail system.[2]
