Note 748 — Chapter X · JUDICIAL REVIEW

Dennis v. United States, 341 U.S. 494 (1951). This incidentally is one of many cases in which restrictive measures which doubtless would have been upheld during a wartime emergency, were sustained as a valid exercise of governmental power during peace time. In American Communications Association v. Douds, 339 U. S. 382 (1949), the Court upheld the Communist oath provision of the Taft-Hartley Act, not as justified in an emergency situation such as we then faced, and confront today, but as a normal power of Congress accruing to it under the Commerce Clause.
