OF the Englishman. Tur-
ner, by New York Immigration

action OF the immigration authorities

deportation of the Englishman Turner.
alleged to be an anarchist. The opin-
ion upheld the law for the exclusion OF
anarchists and affirmed the decision of
the circuit court for the Southern dis
trfct of New York which refused a writ
OF habeas corpus to Turner.
The immigration law was attacked
as Unconstitutional, on the ground that
IL is incontravention OF the first. fifth
and sixth amendments and also OF a
section Of the constitution.
All these contentious were negatiyed
by the decision OF the chief justice, who
said, among other things:
Whether rested on the accepted prin-
ciple Of international law, that every
sovereign nation has the power, as in
herent in sovereignty and essential To
self preservation, to forbid the entrance
Of foreigners within its dominions, or
to admit them only in such cases and
upon such conditions as 1t may see fit

commerce with foreign nations which
includes the entrance of ships. the inn
porIat:on of goods and the bringing OF

States. the act before US IS not open to
constitutional objection"
The chief justice said the law did not
abridge freedom Of speech or of the
press and that Turner, not being a citi-
zen OF the United States could not as
sert the rights of one.
Discussing the plea that the law
should not be applicable TO Turner be-
cause he vas not an active anarchist,
Chief Justice Fuller said.
Ever if Turner, even though he did
not so state to the immigration board
Of inquiry, only regarded the absence
of Government as a political ideal. yet
when he sought to attain 1t by advo-
eating, not simply for the benefit of
