Smith Defends Catholic Loyalty to U S Constitution
Boston April 17 Governor Alfred E. Smith replies to an Atlantic Monthly letter arguing no Catholic interference with U S law. He asserts separation of church and state, emphasizes public education, child welfare, and his record as a Catholic layman faithful to the Constitution. He cites Father Frances P. Duffy as a patriot and states no conflict between faith and duty. He urges unity among religions and affirms the right of parents to choose schooling.
