That means if I commit an act. by no law passed thereafter by any legislative body can that act be made an offense which was not an offense at the time I did the act. That is all it means. The Supreme Court has so held many times. Now I want to talk about the Wallis case. I think they have misconceived its meaning. The Wallis case says that the "alibi" of the immigration authorities was that they could not get transportation back to England. The report said. and very properly. "the war is over. This transportation problem is no longer a problem." You can buy a ticket to England any week.
