Congress Will Be
Asked to Deport
Interned Aliens
Department of Justice Will
Ask Authority to Prevent
Re-entry of Men Barred
From the United States

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Deports-
aliens now Inferred in the United
States will be recommended to Con-
gress shortly by the Department Of
Justice.
Special Legislation will be required
for the deporttions, and, it was
learned to-day, the department will
ask also for authority 20 prevent the
re-entry of these men into this coun-
try later.
Some Of the nterned aliens are not
considered dangerous now and no ef-
fort will be made to deport them.
Careful investigation Of the records,
however, co1vinccs Department of Jus
ticc officials that the larger proportion
Of those informed should not be left in
this country to foment future trouble
The department never has an
nounced how many enemy aliens are
held in internment camps in this coun-
try, but the number is understood to
be between 5000 and 1000. Most Of
them nrc Germans and few are
women. About half are understood to
be men who served actively at ono time
as German agents in the United States
These include trained propagandists,
men involved in bomb plots early in
the war and during Americas neutral
ity, some who plotted directly against
American shipping and the transporta-
ton OF troops overseas.
There are also many men who we're
suspected Of gathering information for
transmission to Germany after the
United States entered the war, but
against whom specific proof could not
be Ohtained.

Attorney General Will Pros

Restrain Competition I'm
der Anti Trust Laws

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Concerted
pricc-hxng by any industry after the
government ceases to exercise price
control January IL will be regarded by
the Department of Justice as in re-
straint Of free competition, it was
stated to-day. The explanation was
made officially in answer TO queries "a
TO what happens to wartime prce-tx-
ing when the War Industries Board
ceases to function ut midnight to-
morrow.
The attitude of the Department Of
Justice, as outlined by Attorney Gem
oral Gregory. is that the antitrust
laws, still effective, VIII be enforced
vigorously by the department. They
have been in full effect through out the
war, but She department has not re-
garded the action OF industry in main
as contrary to law, In making this ex-
rlanation, the Attorney General did
not refer to any industry or specific
situation in explaining that no viola
ton OF antitrust laws would be per
mitted.
Other Department of Justice officials
who heretofore have had charge OF
prosecutions under the anti-trust laws
declared that when the War Industrioq
Board ceases to exercise control Of
Jrices January I, any act Of group
of business men tending to prevent free
ulay of competition will be examined
n the light of the law It is felt that
although an immediate effect Of price
agreements might be temporarily to
keep prices down and thereby benefit
consumers, this result might soon
change, and that consequently the
situation is full Of danger There is
10 provision in the law for considera-
ton whether the effect of the suppress
sion Of competition might be "benevo-
lent"
