new POLICY ANNOUNCED
BY STATE Department
To Prevent Use for Unneutral Pur-
poses Of Passports Issued
~. Newspaper Writers.

A new policy was announced last
night by the State Department with
reference to the issuance of American
passports to writer's who intend to visit
the war zones of Europe Every effort
is to be made to prevent the use of the
American passport for unneutral pur-
poses. The text of the announcement
follows:
The number of newspaper writers
who have applied for passports has
caused the department to rule that
hereafter 1t will issue passports to
writers who contemplate visiting bel
iigerent countries only when they are
regularly accredited to the department
by responsible journals or recognized
press associations.
THE department will not issue pass
ports to individuals who are paid or
expect to be paid by the agents of for
eign governments for matter which
they may publish.
Before issuing passports to writers
the department must be assured that
their purposes are of a neutral char
acter.
THE department will not issue pass
ports to writer's who contemplate going
from the territory of one belligerent to
that of the enemy.
THE object of this ruling is to in
sure the continued neutrality of the
United States. and to prevent individ-
uals from putting their safety in jeop-
ardy."
