This course of the war in Europe has raised many new and unpleasant problems for each of us. Among them is the attention which must be given to the so-called “fifth column.” This is a problem which is of peculiar interest to lawyers, for back of the rather lurid phrase are real questions as to the continued validity of the lawyers’ concepts of a government of limited powers and as to their philosophy of the rights of individuals.

This is a problem which is of peculiar interest to lawyers, for back of the rather lurid phrase are real questions as to the continued validity of the lawyers' concepts of a government of limited powers and as to their philosophy of the rights of individuals.
