Supreme Court rules foreigners must vow arms in war
The Supreme Court held that a foreign applicant for American citizenship must swear to bear arms during war without reservations. Douglas C. Macintosh and Marie Averill Bland, both Canadians who served in France, were denied naturalization for refusing the oath. Justice Sutherland wrote for the majority, citing Rosika Schwimmer, while Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Holmes Brandeis and Stone dissented. Other decisions limited FTC power over advertising and Langmuir patent validity on vacuum tubes.
