...people for so long of the impossibility of accepting defeat, the Arab leaders will have to teach them to accept the inevitable postwar concessions if they hope to survive negotiations. And negotiations must come, no matter how long the Arabs drag their feet. King Hussein runs a very real danger to his own person and throne for his efforts, but in the long run he is bound to help the Arab cause by raising a voice of comparative reason and moderation at a time when Arabia needs it more than ever before...

The States' Rights Party appealed, and the Maryland Court of Appeals has just ruled on both orders. In accordance with Justice Holmes's "clear and present danger" test, the court found that the ten-day curtailment of free speech was entirely allowable in the circumstances that existed in Princess Anne. But although "the remarks and epithets hurled at Negroes were nothing less than an invitation to mutual violence," the court held that the ten-month ban violated...
