An enterprising Florida newspaper

offered a Yea.r's subscription for the

best answer to this question, "Why

is a woman like a newspaper?" Here

are some of the answers:

"Because they are thinner now than they

used to be."

"Because they are well worth looking over."

"Because they carry the news wlterever they

go."

But the one to win the subscription was this:

"Because every man should have one of his

Being thus instructed, it was not strange

that the London

should pro-

"JEHOVAH'S" CHIEF ""\VITNESS"

Another "saint", whose writings are still

studied and followed in the Roman Catholic

organization, states:

When a crime has been well concealed, the wit-

swear that the crime has never been committed..

'. .. ' We may be allowed to conceal the truth, or

disguise it under ambiguous or equivocal words or

signs, for a just cause, and where there is no ne-

cessity to confess the truth.-"Saint" Liguori.

Such being the case, it is easy to see how

little confidence can be placed in what is stated

in Roman Catholic newspapers or periodicals.

The excuse of "a just cause" can be so readily

advanced. For instance, the advantage of the

church itself is always considered a just cause,

and,' in any event, the doing of evil that good

may come (to the system) is clearly endorsed

by such methods as the foregoing quotations

not merely suggest, but endorse.

The complete absence of principle or of any

stable foundation for an honorable course of

action is evident from the quotations pre-

sented, which are only a drop in the bucket

when compared with the literature that eluei-

From Our Own Correspondent .

New York,

The anti - religious tirade delivered by Judge

Rutherford at the London. (Eng.) Albert Hall,

and broadcast to America, was cut short by Ameri-

can radio stations, whose directors then apologised

to radio audiences for as much of the speech as

had been heard.

Radio spokesmen explained that they had no

knowledge of the nature of the speech, but cut it

as soon as its anti-religious venom became evident.

Complaints against the broadcast have been for-

warded to the Federal Communications Commission.

In some places where meetings had been arranged

to hear the broadcast, lessees broke contracts and

closed their halls to the free-thinking or atheist

audiences. In Pittsburgh, Shriners who had leased

their hall to the "Jehovah's Witnesses" (Ruther-

fordites) explained to the

Pittsburgh Catholic

that

they would not have leased the hall if they had

known the purport of the meeting, and added the

assurance that precautions would be .taken in the

future.

All New Orleans radio stations declined to carry

the speech, while stations in Colorado and Okla-

homa cut off'the speech and apologised to their

listeners, In Chicago and New Orleans three-day

conventions of the Watch Tower Society, also Ruth-

erfordites, were refused permission to use public

halls.

subjects and punishing those who willfully

and maliciously lie, is bound to be interested.

The statement follows:

On Sunday, September 11, Judge Rutherford'

delivered his great speech "FACE THE FACTS" to

a vast audience of 10,000 at the Royal Albert Hall

in London. This lecture was of such importance

that it was transmitted at the same ,time by radio

beam to other audiences in more than 40 cities

in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zea-

land and Tasmania, as well as relayed by direct

wire to an aggregate audience of 25,000 assembled

in Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Glasgow, Leeds,

Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle - on - Tyne and

Swansea. Simultaneously it was broadcast by a

-transeontinental chain of 118 American radio sta-

tions. Over this entire world-wide network, which

was one of the greatest in history, Judge Ruther-

ford revealed astounding facts which the Roman

Catholic Hierarchy is afraid to have the people

know. The Catholic Press in America and Britain

have openly published falsehoods to further pre-

vent the people from gaining the information given

in "Face the Facts".

In its issue of October

11,

the

Catholic Herald,

London, published a report, which ran into about

half a eolumn and was printed in bold type, headed

"CUT OFF! AJ..,[ERICA DECLINES TO HEAR 'JEHO-

VAH'S' CHIEF 'WITNESS'" and proceeds to state

that the speech (described in the said report as an

"anti-religious tirade") "was cut short by Ameri-

can radio stations, whose directors then apologised

to radio audiences for as much of the speech as

had been heard". The report also stated that all

New Orleans radio stations declined to carry the

speech.

The report clearly implied that all or almost all

American radio stations cut off Judge Rutherford's

speech as being of a nature unfit and improper

for the public to hear, whereas, in fact, as has

been ascertained in New York,

118

radio stations

throughout the United States broadcast the entire

speech as relayed from the Royal Albert Hall,

London, and without interruption, and in New

Orleans not a single radio station was approached

or engaged for the broadcast, so that the state-

ment that "all New Orleans stations declined to

carry this speech" is entirely untrue.

The said misrepresentations with their obvious

implication as above stated were serious enough,

but there were two further sentences in their report

which are infinitely more objectionable and consti-

tuted

serious libel upon Judge Rutherford and

a great reproach upon Jehovah's witnesses who

compose the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society.

These statements were, "In some places where

meetings had been arranged to hear the broadcast

lessees broke contracts and closed their halls to the

freethinking or atheist audiences" and "The Cath-

olic Press is initiating a protest against the pro-

posal to hold the next Godless Congress in New

York City". Every honest-minded person knows

full well that Judge Rutherford and Jehovah's

witnesses are not freethinkers, atheists, or Godless,

but are servants of Almighty God and preachers

of the Gospel of Jehovah God's Kingdom. Thus

Judge Rutherford was seriously defamed in his

good name and reputation by the suggestion that

he is an advocate of atheism and one who holds

or is connected with Godless Congresses,

The

Catholic Herald

were advised by the London

solicitors of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract

Society that they were prepared to issue proceed-

ings against them for libel unless they should pub-

lish a retraction and pay for legal costs incurred.

The

Catholic Herald,

knowing their statements

were untrue, have published such ,retraction and

have paid the legal costs as demanded. This open

admission is a striking comment on what Judge

Rutherford had to say at the Royal Albert Hall.

Judge Rutherford pointed out that in opposi-

tion to God's Kingdom the Devil has brought forth

the corporate state or totalitarian government ruled

by visible and arbitrary men with the Roman Cath-

olic Hierarchy as its spiritual overlord working

hand in glove with such men as Hitler and Mus-

solini. The ambition of this. crowd is to rule the

world. There is now

determined effort on the

part of

this-same

crowd to grab control of Britain

and America and take away all the liberties of the

people. The ROMAN CATHOLIC HIERARCHY, there-

fore, is in fact a political institution' bent on taking

away the liberties of the people and ruling arbi-

trarily. This operation they are carrying on under

the cloak of religion because the people have been

led to believe all these years that religion and

Christianity are one and the same. In fact the

Catholics call theirs the Christian religion and the

Catholic Church THE CHURCH. Judge Rutherford

has no objection to their calling it what they please;

however, the point is this: Putting asifie the ques-

tion of the differences between those who study. the

Bible, no institution has any right or privilege to

, operate under the pretext of being the servants of

God and use that cloak to destroy the liberties of

the people.

A major portion of the public press of Britain

and America are aware of the facts herein stated,

but they are afraid of the Catholic' organization

and afraid to tell the truth. The Catholicorganiza-

tion is afraid to come in the open and discuss these

matters. Judge Rutherford has openly challenged

the Hierarchy for several years to deny what he

has stated and do it publicly, and they refuse.

And why? Not because they have not many able

men to represent them, but they well know that

they have not a leg to stand on when it comes to

answering the charge that they are in the game

for political reasons.

All honest persons should at once investigate

these facts together with the prophecies now being,

revealed in God's Word, the Bible. To thus aid

the people Judge Rutherford's lecture "Face the
