In this paper the author attempts to show how the first Smith Act case arose in the U.S., a case which because of its reasoning has had great legal and political significance not only for those convicted under the Act but for all those interested in the right of expression as well. The major anti-sedition legislation operating to limit political expression in the period included the Smith Act of 1940, the Internal Security Act of 1950, the Communist Control Act of 1954, and similar state legislation. Such legislation, aimed directly at the suppression or restriction of subversive activities or groups, must be viewed in the context of the whole body of law available to the government for protection against treason, sedition, espionage, sabotage, and similar acts. The Smith Act defined three offenses, knowingly advocating the overthrow of government by force or violence, knowingly helping to organize a society that engages in such advocacy or becoming a member of such a society, and conspiring with others to commit either of the first two offenses.

ACTIONS & defenses (Law) , *LEGISLATIVE bills , *BILLS of lading , *CONTRACTS , *INTRASTATE commerce - Abstract
This article presents information about recent law cases. In United States v. Ferger, however, it has recently been held that section 41 of the Pomerene Act, which makes criminal the forging of an interstate bill of lading, is unconstitutional, since the forged bills of lading were nothing but pieces of paper fraudulently inscribed. They were not receipts for goods. They did not affect interstate commerce. The court excluded from contemplation, as possibly presenting a different question, the counterfeiting of an existing genuine interstate bill of lading.

ACTIONS & defenses (Law) , *INSURANCE policies , *CONTRACTS , *TRIALS (Law) , *INVOICES - Abstract
The article discusses various lawsuits in the U.S. One of the lawsuits discussed is Moore v. Empire Land Co. The plaintiff's grantor took possession of certain land without any paper title and held it adversely for seven years. He then conveyed the surface of the land to X., reserving the minerals; and X. and his grantees entering held possession of the surface for the remainder of the statutory period, no one meanwhile operating the mines. Thereafter the plaintiff bought the minerals from the grantor, and brings this bill to quiet his title to them. Another case discussed is Condon v. Exton-Hall Brokerage and Vessel Agency. The defendant, at the plaintiff's request, undertook gratuitously to procure the immediate cancellation of an insurance policy issued by the plaintiff. The defendant directed its local correspondent to investigate the risk with a view to action in the future.

As for Nathan, all he wanted was a, chance to go abroad to check up on some of the papers of the physicist Albert Einstein.

ACTIONS & defenses (Law) , *INTERNATIONAL law , *EXTRAORDINARY remedies - Abstract
The article discusses a paper and various books related to the lawsuits in the U.S. The paper discussed is "The Legal Nature of International Law," by George B. Scott. In this paper, the writer maintains two propositions: first, that the quality of enforceability and the existence of a sanction are not essential to the definition of law; secondly, that assuming a sanction to be requisite, one is present in the realm of international law. Some of the books discussed are "The Abuse of New Trials," by Everett P. Wheeler, "The Act of Congress Permitting Suits Against Federal Receivers: Injunctions From State Courts," by W.A. Coutts and "Dissenting Opinions," by V.H. Roberts.
