Those are the words of a Republican. the Chief Justice of the United States. and a great American. The memory of those days. when the Department of Justice carried out raids in which as many as 2.000 lawabiding persons were arrested in a single night. remain very much in the minds of many of us. That memory and the fear that hysteria will again prompt terroristic night assaults on many innocent and worthy citizens and noncitizens in the name of stamping out a "fifth column" haunts all of those who are now raising their voices against the enemies of tolerance. of restraint. of lawful process. of democratic procedures in dealing with as yet unrealized and undefined threats to our democracy. The 1920 raids were carried out by the notorious General Intelligence Division of the Department of Justice. The details of those raids will bear close study if we wish to avoid their repetition now or in the future.
