Six Hundred Pamphlets

During a world war a man wrote three pamphlets and mailed about six hundred copies to army officers, an infantry association, university heads and civic groups. The pamphlets attacked an allied nation, vilified Jews, abused the President, and urged that the war be turned into a racial conflict instead. He was charged with trying to cause insubordination in the armed forces and to obstruct recruiting. The law requires proof that he specifically intended those results, not merely that his words were vicious.
