...should have Flume. President Wilson told Italy quite frankly that he believed she should not have Flume; and by far the greater portion of that group of Americans who follow foreign affairs supported President Wilson. Lack of access to the sea is one of the greatest incentives for a nation to wage war; it dominated Russian policy for a century and a half. Flume is the chief and almost the only port in the long expanse of shallow beaches between Trieste and Montenegro. The question is not one of Flume, but of the hinterland of Flume.

I wholly disagree with the arguments of the Government that the First Amendment left the common law as to seditious libel in force. History seems to me against the nation. Only the emergency that makes it immediately dangerous to leave the correction of evil counsels to time warrants making any exception to the sweeping command. "Congress shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech." Of course, I am speaking only of expressions of opinion and exhortations, which were...
