Father Coughlin
Strict Neutrality and No Cash and Carry
by
Father Charles Coughlin’s broadcasts present the political and social commentary of the outspoken Catholic priest and radio speaker. In this program, titled “Strict Neutrality and No Cash and Carry,” Coughlin addresses questions of American neutrality and the policy of selling goods to nations at war.
Listeners hear a direct address built around Coughlin’s argument and interpretation of current affairs, rather than a fictional radio drama. His forceful delivery and persuasive style place the emphasis on the spoken message, making the broadcast a document of the political debate surrounding the early months of the Second World War.
