Warning Against
Political Religion
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va.< Aug.
16.—Dr. Albert C. Dieffenbach, Bost
on Unitarian minister and editor of
The Christian Register, speaking to
the open forum on commercialization
of the press at the University of
Virginia’s Institute of Public Affairs
here this afternoon, transformed that
studied discussion into a heated arg
ument (•rer Governor Alfred E.
Sm'th when he called upon editors
to “come out from behind smoke
screens” and consider the religious
side of the presidential campaign.
It was his question, “Is a Roman
Catholic fit to be president?” that
brought several members of the con
ference to their feet seeking recogni
tion in order to reply. Doctor Dief-
fenhach had charged that Governed
Smith was a “devout Roman Catholic
and obedient to the doctrine and law
of the church, which has never re
lented by a syllable its absolute
claims to primacy over the state.”
So great was the clamor for rec
ognition that Victor Rosewater,
presiding, had some difficulty in re
suming proper order. He allowed
each speaker three minutes to reply
to the Boston editor.
Dr. John S. Latane of Johns Hop
kins university declared that defeat
of Governor Smith in the South
“would mean a triumph of intoler
ance and hypocrisy.”
“Jesuits in the r palmiest days,”
he said, “never had a firmer grip on
th* government of any country than
the political parsons have had in
this country during the past eight
years. You know what happened to
the Jesuits as a result of their po
litical activities, and in my opinion,
the political parsons of this country
are riding for a fall. The people of
America are net going to submit
v u-y long to ecclesiastical domina-
tion. If the political parsons carry
the South against Smith, it will
mean the triumph of political bigo
try, hypocrisy and cant! and the in
tellectual and spiritual development
of the South will be set back many
years.”
There need be no fear of Gov.
Smith, declared John Stewart Bry
an, publisher of the Richmond News
Leader and twice president of the
American Newspaper Publishers’ as
sociation.
“I do know something about the
Roman Catholic Church,” he contin
ued. “I have seen it in France, and
after the French government got
through with them, they ate out of
the government’s hand. I have seen
them in Italy where a man named
Mussolini told them where to get off,
and they got off.
Mr. Bryan further declared that
he was going to vote for Smith “to
•show that this country is big enough
to meet anything that comes down
the road.”
Hunsdon Cary of Richmond, Va.,
former member of the Virginia leg
islature, explaining that he was a
Protestant, said that “America can
well choose to put into the hands of
a Roman Catholic the power to de
feat what is rapidly becoming en
trenched Protestantism.”
Miss Annio Peck, South American
explorer, gained the floor for a few
minutes to tell of the liberal atti
tude ctf the Roman Catholic Church
in Latin-American countries.
Prof. Thomas H. Reed of the Uni
versity of Michigan and Willis J.
Abott, editor of The Christian Sci
ence Monitor, both declared that
they were Hoover supporters but
deplored the injection of the relig
ious issue into the campaign.
A slightly different turn was tak
en by Prctf. Arthur R. Hatton of
Northwestern University, who said
that as a “political realist,” he was
forced to admit “that so long as it
remains an established dogma of the
Cartholic Church, that the state is
subordinate to the church. I don’t
see how you can blame certain per
sons from being suspicious of the
election of a Catholic to the office of
president. Adherence to that old
dogma is greatly depreciating the
spiritual influence of the Catholic
Church in America.”
