...seems clear that in dealing with the Red menace, government agents have occasionally allowed popular hysteria to serve as a cloak for illegal acts. In such cases the courts exist to give redress. The Americanism of Judge Anderson may not be quite as blatant or showy as other brands of the same name. But it is none the less in accordance with the best American traditions.
