There would seem 20 be occasion
for urgent effort on the part of the
state Department to relieve the.
plight of the hundreds of Americans
detained in Germany because of the
outbreak of war. The pretence for
holding them, that military secrets
might leak out through their being
permitted to return home, seems too
rimsy for serious consideration. Pre-
sumably the detention is only tenn
