Note 145 — Chapter II · OPPOSITION TO THE WAR WITH GERMANY
Reading edition
U. S. v. Taubert, Bull. Dept. Just., No. 108. He was sentenced to three years for obstructing bond sales by saying, “This was a Morgan war and not a war of the people.” There is nothing about bonds in the 1917 Act, but Judge Aldrich held it covered them because an army could not be raised without them and “the Government must not be embarrassed in those respects by unreasonable opposition.”
