PALMER EXPLAINS
PURPOSES OF ACT
United States Will Not Interfere
With Those Who Proceed Ac-
cording to Law.

Washington, Nov. 14.-Heavy
withdrawals of bank and postal saw
ings deposits by aliens in some To-
calities caused A. Mitchell Palmer,
alien property custodian to issue a
formal statement today reiterating
assurances that the government has
not interfered with the money or
property of Germans or citizens of
countries allied with Germany liv-
ing and doing lawful business in this
country.
Mr.. Palmer said many published
statements regarding this matter
had been so misleading as to give
rise to fear that they may have orr
ginated in a deliberate wish to dis
turb American business interests.
"Reports have appeared in the
press" said the statement, with
regard to the plans and purposes of
the alien property custodian with
respect to the property of aliens re-
siding in the United States, which
have caused unnecessary and i'll
founded alarm. This alarm has led
in some local cities to heavy with
d,awals Of postal savings and bank
deposits.
Questions Of Residence.
"The statement most calculated
to mislead and cause uneasiness is
to the effect th:.t the fact as to
whether any one is an enemy or the
ally of an enemy under the terms
of the trading with the enemy act
recently passed by congress is one
of residence or place of business or
business connections rather than ma
tionality or citizenship.
ga subject of Germany or of any
of Germany's allies residing in this
country, even though he has made
no declaration of his intentions to-
become a citizen is permitted to
continue in trade and commerce and
in the possession and control of his
property while he remains in the
United States and obeys its laws,
and he is not regarded as an enemy
nor placed in that category by the
trading with the enemy act".
