prurient interest.
For those who would seek to pander materials such
asp those libelled in this case, I need hardly express ny
contempt. Nor need I add that the theory of this decision,
rightly interpreted, affords no comfort to those who would
import materials such as these for public sale or private
indulgence. The cry against the circulation of obscenity
raised by the law-abiding community is a legitimate one; and
one with which Congress, the State legislatures, and the
courts have been seriously concerned." When that case arises
in which the Government determines that it should go to trial
upon the facts, a showing that multiple copies of a particuler
piece of matter are sought to be imported by the same person
41 qhe Government also maintains that the holding in
United States v. One Itscene Book Entitled "Married Love,"
. 2. DN.Y. a cision t a booxw Is
importable under §305(a) 1s res judicata ina subsequent
libel, precludes my holding that material is to be judged
by its appeai to those who will see it, But the successive
importations in that case were both for the purpose of dis-
tributing the book to the public at large. I see no reason
for extending the rationale of the cited case beyond the
situation in which the succeaslve importaticns are for the>
purpose of distributing the material to the same ptrson or
elass of persons. :
