 StatenAnts Were Misleading.
 Mir Palmer said. many published statements regarding this matter had been SO misleading. as to give rise to fear that they have originated In a deliberate wish to disturb and injure American business interests.
 No Occasion For Alarm.
 Reports have appeared in the press,'' said the statement. with re- gard to the plans and purposes Of the alien property custodian with respect to the property of aliens residing in the United States which have caused unnecessary and ill-founded alarm. This alarm has led in some localities to heavy withdra walls of postal sav ings and bank deposits.

This is not the fact The principal test of enemy character under the act of congress is one of residence or place of business or business "connections. rather than nationality or citizenship.
