action the President. or his respon-
sible commander, must act, even II
he believes, as did Lincoln and Jack
son. that the judicial representative
will be hostile.
A simple illustration will suf1ice.
Assume an actual invasion of
Oregon. A large number of persons
OF enemy ancestry in the vicinity are
seized and removed, and held away
from the area of hostility on sus-
picion of aiding the enemy. A local
Federal judge, embittered politically,
personally antagonistic to the COM
manding officer. or actually hostile
to the Government, issues a writ Of
habeas corpus for each person.
The commanding officer confers
with the judge to explain the neces-
sity for his action, but the Judge in
sists that his duty is to preserve the
forms of law. In the last resort. it
is the executive, not the judiciary,
which is charged with the preserva-
ton Of the state In national emer-
gencies.
