The title of Father Coughlin's address is I Take My Stance and begins, "all week long the daily papers and news reels, particularly those of the east have been headlining and screening a fantastic story of an alleged seditious plot to overthrow the government of the United States..." 

In all eighteen young men were taken prisoner by the agents of the FBI and the press of the nation wrongly identified all of them as members of the Christian Front thereby placing that organization and those who sponsored and encouraged it on trial before the bar of public opinion. Father Coughlin says they were not all members of the Christian Front.
