Father Coughlin cautions listeners to stay away from getting involved in wars happening in Europe. He argues that the Treaty of Versailles was unfair and that President Wilson should not have put his name on it. The Senate later rejected the agreement.

Charles Edward Coughlin, commonly known as Father Coughlin, was a Canadian-American Catholic priest based near Detroit. He was the founding priest of the National Shrine of the Little Flower. Dubbed "The Radio Priest " and considered a leading demagogue, he was one of the first political leaders to use radio to reach a mass audience. During the 1930s, when the U.S. population was about 120 million, an estimated 30 million listeners tuned in to his weekly broadcasts.
